MGT560 Discussion Module#09

respond following question:

You have been selected to open two  subsidiaries of organization XYZ. The headquarters of the organization  is in the KSA. The organization is dedicated to the production of mobile  devices. One of these new subsidiaries will be located in Mexico and  the other one will be located in Denmark. 

As you can see in the image below, which  is from Hofstede’s Cultural Dimension Theory, there are differences and  similarities among the countries. Leaders should attempt to understand  these differences to create effective organizational strategies.  Specifically, these cultural dimensions can help leaders determine  business approaches, how to address negotiations, and can aid in  creating strong management and leadership styles.

In addition to Hofstede’s Cultural  Dimension Theory, the GLOBE research has identified six global  leadership behaviors that are considered important in different  cultures. These leadership behaviors are as follows:
?    Charismatic/ Value-Based
?    Team-Oriented
?    Participative
?    Humane-Oriented
?    Autonomous
?    Self-Protective

1.    Based on Hofstede’s cultural  dimensions, briefly describe the similarities and differences between  the dimensions in Denmark, the KSA, and Mexico.
2.    Analyze how the  cultural dimensions of the three countries (i.e., Denmark, the KSA, and  Mexico) impact leadership styles, leadership behaviors, and the  decision-making process of leaders. What factors most greatly impact  leadership qualities?
