MAIN BODY
TASK 1: Situational analysis:
Seven dimensions of the culture and its impact-
1. Universalism vs particularism- In universalism type of culture, organization highly
focuses on following the rules, values, laws and obligations. They give more importance
to rules and laws rather than relationships(Carolina 2019). In particularism type of
culture, relationships are also involved in the businesses for any purpose of work. Mr.
Haider follows particularism and Ahaln Wilhelm follows universalism.
2. Individualism vs communitarianism- In individualism context, there is believed in
freedom and achievement. It states that the decisions should by taken by ourselves only
which means taking care of yourself. In communitarianism, it believes that group is given
priority then the individual. It also states that group gives health and safety in return of
loyalty. Individualism is followed by Ahaln Wilhelm and communitarianism by Mr.
Haider.
3. Specific vs Diffuse- Specific culture is that in which people keep the personal life
separate from the professional life. They believe that good relations are important but
without good relations also organization can achieve the goals and objectives. In contrary
to this, in diffuse culture is that in which good relationships are given more priority for
meeting the goals and objectives of the organization. Mr. Haider follows diffuse culture
whereas, Ahaln Wilhelm follows specific culture.
