Explain the Oganisational model (Charles Handy and Roger Harrison)
The factors determine which category a corporate culture might fall into based on its degree of formalization on the one hand (process maturity which is about consistency and quality of results independent of the branch or country) and centralization on the other (about cooperation and control).
- High centralization: A lot of hierarchy where decisions are usually top down
- High formalization: Mature processes that are consistent
Explain the international model (Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions)
- Power Distance (PDI): The degree of inequality among people in a country which is seen as normal
- Individualism vs. Collectivism (IDV): The degree to which people in a country prefer to act as individuals rather than as members of a group
- Masculinity versus Femininity (MAS): The degree to which values that are usually associated with men, such as assertiveness, performance, success and competition, prevail over ‘feminine’ values, such as quality of life, relationships, service and care
- Uncertainty avoidance (UAI): The extent to which the members of a culture feel threatened by ambiguous or unknown situations and have created beliefs and institutions that try to avoid these
- Short term vs. Long term orientation: The presence of values oriented towards the future, such as saving, thrift or persistence
- Indulgence vs Restraint: The degree to which a society allows relatively free gratification of basic and natural human drives related to enjoying life and having fun.
Define quantitative vs. qualitative data
- Quantitative/Continuous: numbers-based, countable, measurable, suitable for statistical analysis.
- Qualitative/Categorical: interpretation-based, descriptive, language-focused, analyzed through categorization or themes
Identify the 3 basic charts and their application.
- Bar chart: good for few categorical data
- Line chart: good for trends, time and continuous data
- Scatter plot: good for distributions and multiple variables
