General Guidance:
Your essay should be 3500 words in length. In answering the questions you must ensure that you engage with key literature in the field that you are studying. There is an expectation that you will engage with Journal articles and published research more than textbooks. You may use texts where writers have written about a particular topic in depth but try to avoid very general basic texts in organisational behaviour or management, as these will not give you enough depth for your assignment. You should conduct searches related to your topic through Emerald and EBSCO, which are on-line Journal databases. Please ensure that you reference all work correctly using Harvard standard. Please also ensure that you check your work for Plagiarism.
Question: National culture
There have been many criticisms of Hofstede’s original work on national culture. You should provide your own analysis of Hofstede’s work using appropriate supporting references and then outline the extent to which the limitations of his work have been responded to within later studies. Within your answer you should give specific examples of how the findings from the key studies could be used by managers in multinational companies.
Detailed requirement:
• You need to demonstrate your understanding of Hofstede’s work
– Why did he do it?
– How? When?
– Who was it for (key stakeholders)?
– You may find it useful to give an example; perhaps showing a comparison between countries (MOROCCO)
• Who subsequently critiqued Hofstede’s work?
– Who?
– Why? How?
– How credible and valid do you think their findings were?
_ What were the limitations of their work?
• What are the key studies on national culture which have been published since Hofstede’s work?
– Why have you selected them?
– What are their strengths and limitations
• To what extent do these studies respond to the limitations of Hofstede’s work?
• How could the findings from the key studies be used by managers? For example:
– To inform policy
– To recruit or retain employees
– As part of performance management processes
– As part of a growth strategy
– Due diligence on potential growth or expansion of the company
My Personal yet vital request:
I would strongly appreciate for you to please follow the instructions carefully and cover/answer ever bit of the question(s) in an advanced professional but CLEAR manner. I also strongly recommend for you to use MOROCCO as one of the countries you have to include in your comparison. Please, this is an essay not a report, but still use headings to facilitate the access to the answers for the reader. Use as many references as possible to back up and support each statement provided. Please, since you have enough time to carry out this essay, I would highly appreciate if the rightful amount of effort and time put in this essay.
