Abstract:

Mestrado em Gestão e Estratégia Industrial<br>É importante que haja uma atenção detalhada na análise cultural de um país ou região onde se pretende investir, mas esta é difícil de definir e medir. Dois dos modelos mais usados, são o projeto GLOBE de Javidian e House e as dimensões de Hofstede. Apesar do seu método ser criticado por vários autores, devido a problemas de enviesamento amostral e errada aplicação de conceitos, Hofstede é o nome principal na análise de mercados estrangeiros. De entre as seis dimensões, destaco a dimensão masculinidade versus feminilidade, vítima de várias críticas

Abstract:

There are many models of culture available to Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) researchers and industry sector practitioners that could potentially help in tackling the challenge of designing across cultures. Models by Hall and Hofstede (investigated in this thesis) among others, are used by the HCI community to shape research, frame research findings and inform design. However, very limited information is available that proves the applicability of these models to the field. There is currently no large scale, multi-country study that addresses the suitability and applicability of cultural mode

Abstract:

<p> Researchers in cross-cultural pedagogy often invoke the work of Hofstede (1980; 1986) and Hofstede, Hofstede, and Minkov (2010) to explain variation in classroom behavioral norms across countries (e.g. Cronjé, 2011; Li & Guo, 2012; Tananuraksakul, 2013). Although Hofstede' s model of culture was developed from IBM employee surveys to facilitate cross-cultural management, Hofstede explicitly suggests that his findings can be generalized to student and teacher behavior in the classroom. The present study tests this suggestion by administering an online survey to university student

Abstract:

Studiens syfte är att se hur individualistiska och kollektivistiska värderingar kan förstås ur ett intersektionellt perspektiv med fokus på kulturell identitet. I ett bekvämlighetsurval hittade vi respondenter från Mellanstadskommuner i klasser för SFI (Svenska För Invandrare) och SAS (Svenska som Andra Språk) samt kollektivboenden för ensamkommande flyktingbarn. Genom att utföra studien på svenska studenter på två olika gymnasieskolor samt japanska individer erhölls referenspunkter i förhållande till Hofstede’s data gällande kulturella värderingar och dimensioner. Respondenterna fick svara på

Abstract:

Den här magisteruppsatsen behandlar två perspektiv på ledarskap som jag kallar för statiskt och kulturellt. Det statiska perspektivet handlar om att betrakta ledarskapskompetenser som oföränderliga och därför samma i alla situationer. I kontrast till detta står det kulturella perspektivet som handlar om att betrakta ledarskapskompetenser som processer. Syftet i den här uppsatsen är att påvisa att dessa två ledarskapsperspektiv förekommer och att i en empirisk kontext pröva de här perspektiven för att se om och hur de får stöd av deltagarna i studien. Genom den hermeneutiska metoden har jag in

Abstract:

Background: China is today regarded as Sweden’s most important business partner in Asia. Even if there are cultural differences between Sweden and China the intercultural distance has successively decreased. One of the reasons is the globalisation. Another reason is the consecutive development of Swedish-Chinese relations. The interpretation from common understanding has increased the level of trade between the nations. There is an on-going development of business co-operation between Sweden and China. The Purpose: This Bachelor Thesis will examine the differences between the Swedish-Chinese

Denna studie omfattar totalt 84 länder världen över och baseras på undersökningar och datagenerering från kulturforskaren Geert Hofstedes fyra ursprungliga kulturella dimensioner. Dimensionerna kombineras med data från ett korruptionsindex publicerat av den oberoende och ideella organisationen Transparency International. För att påvisa vilka kulturel

Abstract:

The effect of national culture on the performance of teams is becoming an increasingly important issue in advanced western countries. There are many interlinked reasons for this, including the increasing globalisation of companies and the use of joint ventures for the development of expensive platforms. A further issue relates to the export of complex sociotechnical systems, where a culture clash between designer/manufacturer and user can lead to significant problems. This report describes research work that was carried out to analyse the cultural factors that influence the performance of team

Abstract:

The purpose of the study is to compare whether there is any connection between a country's masculinity and the country's transport emissions per capita. Furthermore, theories about Hofstede's masculinity index have been discussed as well as what attributes that characterize a country. Masculine countries tend to prioritize career and material rewards while feminine countries appreciate leisure and social contexts. Does a country's masculinity level affect attitudes to climate and emissions? This essay is written with a quantitative method and a deductive approach with elements of a qualitative

The purpose of this study is to understand how engineering students perceive the patterns of culture at the disciplinary level using Hofstede's constructs (power distance, individualism, uncertainty avoidance, and masculinity). The methodology design for this study is mixed methods. More specifically, the design of this study is an explanatory sequential design that begins with the collection and analysis of quantitative data from a version of Hofstede's survey developed by Sharma (2010), followed by subsequent collection and analysis of qualitative data, with the qualitative analysis being in

Assim, foram elaborados pressupostos que relacionavam as diretrizes da PNH com as características das dimensões culturais de Hofstede, inferindo-se que houvesse: baixa distância ao poder; baixa aversão à incerteza; coletivismo; orientação a longo

<p>This thesis examines how cultural diversity within an organization might influence managers‟ information-handling process. The models used are; Geert Hofstede‟s five dimensions of national culture, to represent the cultural diversity; and Henry Mintzberg‟s definition of the manager‟s informational roles, to represent the managers‟ information-handling.To show this empirically, a case study of a half-Swedish, half-Vietnamese-owned retail company, UMA Ltd Co, was conducted.

<p>Based on Hofstede's findings, this study breaks down Kogut and Singh's index of cultural distance, examining implications for acquisition performance of each individual dimension. Hypotheses are formulated, and based on deal data covering 488 acquisitions with American companies as acquirers, tested through linear regression. We find support for a positive relationship between cultural distance of power distance and performance, and an inverse relationship between cultural distance of masculinity and performance. Significant results are not obtained for the remaining dimensions.</p>
