The Hofstede national management dimensions of culture

Using the Hofstede national management dimensions of culture, you will conduct and discuss a comparative analysis of 3 foreign nations and the USA.

The Discussion Board Forum assignment consists of 3 parts.

Part 1 - Reservation
Your instructor will provide a list of nations for this Discussion Board Forum. After reviewing the provided list of nations, select the 3 foreign nations you wish to compare national management dimensions with the USA and post a thread reserving the nations you select. Be sure to check the Discussion Board area prior to posting your reservation to ensure no one else has reserved those 3 nations. In the event any of the nations you wish to explore is already reserved by someone else, simply move on to another nation on the list. Duplicate postings will not earn credit under any circumstance (this includes posting work submitted in a previous course). Do not ask the instructor to accept a duplicate posting as this is not fair to those who followed these explicit directions. Be sure to include the names of the 3 nations you selected in your Discussion Board Forum subject line. Submit your selected 3 nations by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of Module/Week 5.

Part 2 - Thread
After you have successfully reserved the 3 nations that interest you the most, compare the dimensions of national management cultures with the Hofstede dimensions of management cultures identified in the USA.
