WE OFFER
UNIQUE CULTURAL INSIGHTS
National culture differences only become apparent when they are contrasted with other cultures. For example, the greatest differences between the national cultures of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the United States (USA) are found in the areas of power-distance (Power Distance Index) and in societal cohesion (Individualism vs. Collectivism). The graphs on the right illustrate that the power distance (measured in PDI) is much higher in the UAE (at 90) than that of the USA (at 40).
Further, the second set of graphs illustrate that the culture in the UAE is much more collectivistic (at 25) than that of the USA (at 91), which is much more individualistic.
These are interesting to note and learn about. But, more importantly, what impact does this type of insight have on your marketing strategies for trade shows and events in the United Arab Emirates?
