The article Integrated Management was a very interesting article to read and I agree with what it has to say. Jerome Payne explains in his article why it is important for multinational organizations need to be sensitive to the culture differences between the countries in which they operate. In the Unite States we have individualism which helps the management styles of different business and organizations. Another example of this style that Payne talks about is that like the US other countries have high priorities in power distance, uncertainty avoidance, individualism, and masculinity. He also explains Gret Hofsteded's organizational structure.

Gret Hofsteded is a expert on the interactions between national and organizational structure. He came up with this organizational structure and well his research hasn't yet proved that national culture transcends organizational factors but does suggest that there are different management styles in different countries that may reflect that country's trend, values, and beliefs. This article with Hofsteded's view and Payne's view really gave me a clear view on how different countries deal with management and their organizational structure.
