Chapter 10 response

In chapter 10, it discusses the national culture and organizational culture more detailly. The interesting things there will be affected by the personal values and the practice in an organizational culture. It is quite difficult to understand and I have not thought about it before.

In the national culture, there are six dimensions.  1.Power Distance, related to the different solutions to the basic problem of human inequality; 2.Uncertainty Avoidance, related to the level of stress in a society in the face of an unknown future; 3.Individualism versus  Collectivism, related to the integration of individuals into primary groups; 4.Masculinity versus  Femininity, related to the division of emotional roles between women and men;  5.Long Term versus  Short Term Orientation, related to the choice of focus for people's efforts: the future or the present and past. 5. Indulgence  versus  Restraint, related to the gratification versus control of basic human desires related to enjoying life.  The organizational culture also has six dimensions. 1. Process-oriented versus results-oriented.2.  Job-oriented versus employee-oriented.3.  Professional versus parochial

4.  Open systems versus closed systems5.  Tight versus loose control6.  Pragmatic versus normative. This six dimensions are new things until this chapter and I will show you more in the coming class.XD
