38、usiness）解析：听力原文1-10Basic CulturalGood afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I was told that most of you are either engaged or interested in business, and your participation in this series of lectures indicates that all of you may have realized the importance of culture to success in international busines
39、s. As our lecture today is the first one, we are going to briefly look at some basic types of culture.The Dutch researcher and business consultant. Geert Hofstede, has developed a useful framework that illustrates the four major issues that define and classify national cultures. Facts show that each
40、 issue has a very real effect on how people process information and interact, either personally or with business colleagues. During the remaining part of the lecture, lets explore these issues one by one.First and foremost, we need to look at the conflict between individualism and collectivism. Does
41、 a society cherish individualism, the independent thinker, the person who values personal success over group success, or does it function in an orderly fashion only when individuals sacrifice their needs to those of the group? The values that a society holds will determine how an individual defines
42、himself or herself-as free individual or as a member of a group. Determine the answer to this most basic of questions about a societys cultural values, and you will obtain a valuable clue as to how to proceed in successfully concluding a business negotiation and managing a business relationship in t
43、he future.Understanding the contrast between the group and the individual is very important for business. In an individualist culture, decision making may be more rapid, but the implementation of a change in policy may be much slower than in a collectivist culture. On the other hand, it may take lon
44、ger to come to a consensus in a collectivist environment, but once the decision is made, implementation is generally quicker.The second issue in the study of cultural types is power distance. Power distance actually refers to how individuals in a society view power as well as their own role in decis
45、ion making, In cultures with a low power-distance, individual employees will seek a role in decision-making and question decisions and orders that they have made no contribution. By contrast, in high power distance societies, employees seek no decision-making role. They accept the bosss decision sim
46、ply because the boss is the boss and is supposed to give orders. Employees in this kind of cultures need direction and discipline, and they look to management to provide it. In low power distance cultures, workers will accept more responsibility. Low power distance cultures tend to be more individua
47、listic in nature.OK, so much for the second issue, power distance. Next lets move on to the third point, uncertainty- a-voidance. It is a measure of a societys ability to tolerate ambiguity and uncertainty. A Swiss business colleague said that this could be shown in the difference between Switzerland and Germany. Buses and taxis taking visitors from Genevas airport to town would repeatedly broadcast the following announcement: “Welcom
