Individualistic culture:
-The interests of the individual prevails over the interests of the group
-Relationships are loose and people mainly look after themselves and their immediate
families
Dynamic on the work floor:
o People -> their first duty is to themselves, not to others
o Employer-employee relationship is based on the work contract
o CV is your ticket in
o Your results are your way to the top
Collectivistic culture:
- The interests of the group prevail over the interests of the individual
- People are integrated into groups that continue throughout a lifetime, the group is an
‘extended family’
- Condition: unquestioning loyalty
F.e. applying for a job:
o A company will more likely prefer to hire someone with inside relationship
o Less risky, you know what to expect (loyalty)
Dynamic on the work floor:
o Long working days
o Much ‘disturbance’ through chitchat & requests for help
o Plan your time generously
Managing people:
o Boss tends to manage collectively -> reward collectively
o Personal trust is essential before any business gets done
