Lately I have heard m.o. (from the previously nearly archaic motis operandi) take the place of way of doing business.

modus operandi :)

Thanks Peri. My knowledge of Latin is very Castillian:lol:.

Nice joke.

Mind set is another term that can usually replace mentality in these cases.

Sorry poli, but you mustn't contrast two things with a singular verb form. :)

Your last sentence is comparing two things. So are the first two sentences. I've reworded them below to show that there are two subjects (two mentalities). That's why the plural subject is needed in your examples.
German mentality and Spanish mentality are ...
German mentality and Spanish mentality differ ...

That's right Rusty.

You can also use demeanor, but it depends on the circumstance. Professional demeanor and business demeanor are terms used that are related to mindset and mentality. I think that demeanor differs slightly because it usually refers more to etiquette than business philosophy.
