Your manager informs you that you have been promoted to a
new position at one of the U.S. firm's foreign branches. She
cautions you that based on some bad experiences she has had
when she worked overseas, a heightened awareness and
sensitivity to different cultural norms is required to be
successful when you move to and work in one of these
countries. She suggested that you gain some valuable insights
by studying the cultural dimensions theory, which is an
excellent model to explain how different cultural norms could
affect the workplace.
After researching the cultural dimensions theory, complete the
following tasks:
Go to http://www.geert-hofstede.com and identify how values in
the United States compare to the world average in the following
3 categories (To do this, click on country from the menu on the
left side of the screen, and observe the charts in the middle of
the screen):
Individuality
Power distance
Long-term orientation
Explain exactly how your actions as a manager might reflect
these index scores versus the world average index scores.
