Conference: "“Dealing with cultural differences” dimension masculinity


Answer to the question #1

Analyzing the conference of Nick B. Mayer “Dealing with cultural differences” was possible to understand different things related with management and the problems that the cultural differences could cause. Based on religion, customs of the people could change and based on the customs is how sometimes negotiations, politics, business or just the relation between two people may suffer problems and create new enemies.
From that analysis and taking in account the dimensions studied and developed by Hofstede and those that were explained with statistics by Mr. Mayer were possible to defined that it is involved in the common development of each kind of society and is introduced In the way of haw is necessary to handle a relation with many cultures to have successful.
From now, having as a base the masculinity vs. feminist dimension, is possible to say that according to what Nick B. Mayer says in the conference “dealing with cultural differences” , the men represented the masculinity think more in achieve and be success and the woman represent the idea of care in others and have a quality life. From that point of analysis and knowing that In Latin America just from few years ago the genders has the same or almost the same participation in the society is possible to understand that the man still been more powerfully and accepted in terms of official things than the famine gender.
The example is the thing that happen in Brazil, the numbers said that in education attending the school, the woman has been increasing the attendance science they became a democratic country, the thing is that even with a better attendance, the woman by 1991 just accounted less than 40% of the labor force (taken from the international business wiki, online, http://internationalbusiness.wikia.com/wiki/Femininity_vs._Masculinity)
If they are having more attendance to the education, they have to be the strongest power force in the percentage of workers.
That’s a common example of how is handle this region of the world, where the power is centralized in men, where politics are related with men unless nowadays have been appearing women presidents.
“Countries show a gap between men's values and women's values” as is explained by Greer Hofstede (taken from http://www.geert-hofstede.com/ ).
It means that has different priorities how was explained at the beginning of this post and also cultures has differences in the way of treat the genders. Islam’s where woman doesn’t has participation, Europe where has participation or Latin America where the countries start with the inclusion but still having the position of the men as the main important.

    Dani how incredible is culture dont you thing?, in this conference we learned a lot of details about how cultural dimmensions affected the world in several fields but the most one, organization. I liked the way you explained masculinity vs feminist, and the example of the education in Brazil is very intersting. I also like the wye you relate the education of both genders and the level of power of each country. Your blog is very intersting!
