Discuss the four associations related to Hofstede’s power distance dimension.
What will be an ideal response?
Geographic latitude: higher latitudes are associated with lower power distance. Population: large populations are associated with high power distance. Wealth: national wealth is associated with lower power distance. History: countries with a Romance language (Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French) score medium to high, as do Confucian cultural inheritance countries. Countries with a Germanic language (German, English, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish) score low. Both the Romance language countries and the Confucian cultural inheritance countries were ruled from a single power center, whereas the Germanic language countries remained “barbaric” during Roman days.
