Week 3 discussion
Activity #1
Take the INCA Survey and calculate your scores.
Then post a paragraph with a summary of your scores and a
short reflection on where you are in terms of cultural awareness.
No need to respond to colleagues.
Activity #2
The GLOBE study built on another study conducted by Geert
Hofstede, one of the most comprehensive studies of how values in the workplace
are influenced by culture. In Hofstede’s study, he describes and measures 6
cultural dimensions – some of which were also used in the GLOBE study : Power
Distance, Individualism, Masculinity, Uncertainty Avoidance, Long Term
Orientation and Indulgence.
1) Go to this page: http://geert-hofstede.com/countries.html
and select United States.
2) Then select under Comparison Country any country of your
choice.
3) What can you tell us about the difference between the
U.S. and the other country?
Please respond to two colleagues. You may give input or
opinions on cultures that you know, or have lived in. Remember that these
results are general and may not apply to every experience or example you have
seen.
