i thought the 4 dimensions discussed during lesson last friday were rather enlightening. i suppose these 4 dimensions can be applied both on the macro and micro level.

i'm interested to find out if there are any structural differences in the same company in 2 different countries. it could be even a slight difference. but that's interesting nonetheless! for example, philippines has a power difference value of 94, but denmark has one of 18. so, generally speaking, philippines is more accepting of hierarchies and the unequal distribution of power in society. on the other hand, denmark will be more intolerant of hierarchies.

so how does that work out if a company from philippines, MNC or something, wants to set up the same company in denmark? how do they tackle the the obvious different mindsets of the new workers? there's bound to be friction somewhere. but i think the whole process of coming to a compromise, a balance ground, would be so interesting to watch.

this makes me want to work in MNCs next time. haha maybe i can join a pharmaceutical company that faces this and i'll get to see first hand how it all works out. for the better, i hope.
