Power Distance: To what degree does a culture encourage people to think of themselves as equals and to what degree does a culture encourage people to stay within a hierarchical social structure?
Individualism vs. Collectivism: To what degree does a culture encourage individualism? Asian cultures tend to be group oriented, while American culture encourages individualism.
Masculinity vs. Femininity: Is a culture oriented towards relationships or tasks? This dimension deals with the idea of masculine and feminine influences in the workplace.
Uncertainty Avoidance: Does a culture encourage people to take or avoid risk?

If there is a Part A, your response should identify a Part A, etc. (100 points) (A 4-page response is required for the combination of Parts A and B.)
