The cultural diversity of any country is strength and an asset, and we value diversity of opinions, perspectives and interests. In our everyday life, we continually come up against the situations where our values are in conflict and where we must make choice about what is right and wrong. If we accept the changes as it is, we lose our own values system and if we do not accept the changes we will be considered as underdeveloped. These matters are the matters of decision making.
Answer the following questions:
Why do you think respecting cultural diversity plays a significant role in our lives today? Justify your argument with two reasons as a student and as an employee.
Do you think cultural diversity is an asset or a liability? Justify your views with three reasons.
Country A has the following values from
Hofstede's five Cultural Dimensions:
Power Distance: 70 (High)
Individualism/Collectivism: 32 (Low)
Uncertainty Avoidance: 85 (High)
Masculinity/Femininity: 90 (High)
Short/Long-term orientation: 70 (Long-term)
Using the hypothesized relationships
between Hofstede's cultural values and Gray's
accounting values predict the accounting
practices prevailing in Country A. In particular,
comment on whether in Country A we expect
to find more optimistic profit measures or
more conservative measures employed by
companies.
