    All students must answer this question: Q1) Provide a list of recommendations for an entrepreneur who is willing to open a business in CHINA / INDONESIA / NIGERIA. (culture aspects and ease of doing business) (40p)

    Answer one of the below questions (30p) Q2a) Please write a comment on the below findings. Are these chance correlations? Or do they prove that culture has a genuine effect on business practices? There is a negative correlation (r=-0,46) between individualism and number of procedures required to start a business. Number of procedures to enforce contracts tend to be higher among strong UAI countries (r=0,22). It appears that it is somewhat less costly to export (US$ per container) in masculine societies (r=-0,38).

    Q2b) What are some potential areas of conflict between a person from a high UAI culture and a person from a high PDI culture? (assuming that they have similar personalities) What are some potential areas of conflict between a person from a high UAI culture and a person from a loose (indulgence) culture? (assuming that they have similar personalities) Bonus question (pick one) B1) Culture dimensions have been championed to explain various outcomes at the national, organizational, and individual levels of analysis. In your opinion, how is culture perspective connected with the discussion on versions of capitalism? In your opinion, what was the role of culture in the development of Japanese production systems?

    B2)

    Bonus (20p) Our goal in this question is to compare two sets of country clusters for our main discussion around cultural versus economic explanations. The US and Japan are included as focal business systems. What are the similarities and differences between Hofstede clusters and Doing Business clusters? Explain. Clusters based on six Hofstede scores

    Please note that PDI, IDV, MAS and UAI scores of Bosnia and Herzegovina and South Africa are not reliable. (These scores have been derived from ex-Yugoslavian samples for Bosnia and from white-only samples in South Africa). Also note that Belgium is a representation of French and Dutch sub-samples.

    Clusters based on eight Doing Business (DB) ranks
