2 Individualism A worldview that values individual freedom and self-expression and adherence to the principle that people should be judged by their individual achievements rather their social background. Collectivism A worldview that values subordination of the individual to the goals of the group and adherence to the principle that people should be judged by their contribution to the group Power Distance Degree to which societies accept the idea that inequalities in the power and well-being of their citizens are due to differences in individuals physical and intellectual capabilities and heritage Achievement versus Nurturing Orientation Achievement-oriented societies value assertiveness, performance, and success and are results-oriented. Nurturing-oriented cultures value quality of life, personal relationships, and service. Uncertainty Avoidance Societies and people differ in their tolerance for uncertainty and risk. Low uncertainty avoidance cultures (e.g., U.S. and Hong Kong) value diversity and tolerate a wide range of opinions and beliefs. High uncertainty avoidance societies (e.g., Japan and France) are more rigid and expect high conformity in their citizens beliefs and norms of behavior Chapter Seven Long-term vs. Short-term Orientation Cultures with a long-term orientation rest on values such as thrift and persistence in achieving goals Cultures with a short-term orientation are concerned with maintaining personal stability or happiness and living for the present Decision Making, Learning, Creativity and Entrepreneurship
