I borrowed a book named 'Cultures and Organizations: software of the mind' from library. after reading, i found there are some pages which are helpful for us to understand the specific applications. i will post the information on the page latter.677002MGMT (talk) 13:26, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi guys! how well are you doing your researches? I add a new part which talk about the limitation of the PDI analysis. i found an very useful journal about the limitations on Hofstede's cultural theory. The resource is available on library of university of Melbourne. I leave the detailed searching information for you. if you are interest in it, we can discuss it together. hahah~ journal： Academy of Management Review 2008, Vol. 33, No. 4, 885–904. title：MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL: CULTURE’S CONSEQUENCES IN A VALUE TEST OF ITS OWN DESIGN author： GALIT AILON — Preceding unsigned comment added by 677002MGMT (talk • contribs) 13:46, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

I want to share another fantastic resource about the great person Hofstede. this is an interview of him. he talked about his ideas of his theory in details. it is an interesting experience to capture the information from a different position. I left the information as following shown.

GOODNIGHT! fighting!677002MGMT (talk) 13:53, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

I will write on Malaysia and Austria under the 'examples' section. If there is any overlap, or if any content should belong to another section please let me know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 516565MGMT (talk • contribs) 00:25, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi Lim! maybe i wrote Austria in my part. but i can do some adjustment!677002MGMT (talk) 00:28, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

For GLOBE study of 62 countries, there is a substantial part explaining about the source of power, eg. coercive power, reward power, legitimate power. Jinghui probably you can refer to those content and extend more about the reason of existing high power distance, rather than making similar definition as Hofstede's part? Cheers.

Mengqi, can you please also give a brief description for Hofstede? Just 2-3 sentences under Hofstede to make it more completed. For example who he is and what type of research he has done. Thx. Zixin 726378MGMT (talk) 06:20, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

665891MGMT (talk) 06:41, 17 September 2015 (UTC)Hi guys! I've just posted one of my parts with format needed to be adjusted later. By the way, regarding further studies after Hofstede, I need to make some corrections about our previous discussion. Firstly, as far as HALL is concerned, most of his literatures are before Hofstede's mention of Power Distance, and therefore I will not put his studies in my part. Rather than HALL, I will work on some other important studies following Hofstede. I'm still working on it, and will post the rest part later. cheers!

665891MGMT (talk) 07:56, 17 September 2015 (UTC)I have restructured my part named 'other studied on Power Distance', and it will include two main parts including 'pre-' and 'post-' Hofstede's studies. This is because that I have done some research regarding other studies on power distance, and I think it is necessary to mention the development before the term ‘Power Distance’ arose. I'm still working on it, and I will post it up once I finished. cheers.

665891MGMT (talk) 07:57, 17 September 2015 (UTC)By the way, if you guys have any better advice, just contact me. Thx!

hi Zixin! He used factor analysis to measure the emotional distance between boss and subordinates on the base of the results from the survey questions. I wrote the detailed method he used in my part. if you have any questions, please feel free to ask me677002MGMT (talk) 10:25, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

665891MGMT (talk) 14:10, 17 September 2015 (UTC)Hi guys, I've posted my two parts, leaving citing format needed to be adjusted. I'll adjust it later, and if you have any advice for my part, just contact me. cheers

good evening, everyone! after searching, i found some mistakes for my part. I will make some adjustments tomorrow. thx.677002MGMT (talk) 12:15, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Good afternoon everyone! I make an adjustment about the Hofstede part. and i recommend a book for you. you can find the ebook in the library in university of Melbourne. it makes a detailed analysis for the cross-cultural management and power distance in different countries. i attached the information about book.

i suggested that we could save the page in word after we edited. 677002MGMT (talk) 07:47, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

Yup, I agree about saving our work. I just did it. Anyway, I've made some additions and renamed some headings/subheadings. Please let me know if you think they're appropriate or if they can be named better. I've also moved the introduction to right at the top and got rid of its headings because that seems to be how the other Wikipedia pages are. Over the next few days I'll be doing filling in gaps and doing some editing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 516565MGMT (talk • contribs) 21:50, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

Ahhh, sorry guys i didn't finish my part until this time. Yes i just post the rest of my writing in the application section. Please take a look at it, and we will discuss tomorrow afternoon! See you soon! Good work team! Cheers, Zixin726378MGMT (talk) 15:11, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

I did an overall edit, and also added some parts and moved some sections around. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 516565MGMT (talk • contribs) 20:23, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

Amazing Weiyi! Thanks for the effort! Jinghui and Mengqi plz have a look at the final version, and if you are ok with the whole page, I am going to upload our group work! ps: the word count is 4149. Cheers Zixin Luo 726378MGMT (talk) 23:45, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
