Cross Cultural & Strategic Management, 2018
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore how cultural differentiation can affect the successful transplantation of lean management and production techniques from the parent country to subsidiary countries in the developing world. In particular, the focus will be on car manufacture in India and the role of hierarchy in Indian society, with ...

Modeling Power Distance in Trade
2009Agent-based computational economics studies the nature of economic processes by means of artificial agents that simulate human behavior. Human behavior is known to be scripted by cultural background. The processes of trade partner selection and negotiation work out differently in different communities.

Long-distance power transmission
Electrical Engineering, 1950MANY STUDIES have been made recently to determine the performance characteristics of long-distance transmission systems. This particular analysis considered straightaway transmission systems of 600 miles in length, a distance which is representative of transmission now under study and in actual development.1,3 The system characteristics and ...

Power Distance Belief, Power, and Charitable Giving
Journal of Consumer Research, 2017Three studies examined the relation between power distance belief (PDB), the tendency to accept and expect inequalities in society; power, the control one has over valued resources; and charitable giving. Results suggested that the effect of PDB depends on the power held by the donor. In low-PDB contexts, people high (vs.

The analysis of the evolution of the banking system is focused on the concept of distance. In particular, we not only refer to the traditional distance between bank and customers, that is the operational distance, but ...

Power Distance and Facework Strategies
Journal of Intercultural Communication Research, 2006This study utilized Hofstede's (2001) study that tested whether Hofstede's power distance (PD) dimension of culture is an important predictor for understanding cross-cultural facework. It investigated how cultural groups differing in their level of PD negotiate strategic responses (i.e., cooperative, indirect, or direct) to a face-threatening situation

On the Power and Limits of Distance-Based Learning.
2016We initiate the study of low-distortion finite metric embeddings in multi-class (and multi-label) classification where (i) both the space of input instances and the space of output classes have combinatorial metric structure, and (ii) the concepts we wish to leam are low-distortion embeddings.
