HofstedeHofstede DimensionsDimensions Gert Hofstede, a Dutch researcher, was able to interview a
large number ofIBM executives in various countries, andfound that cultural differences tended to centre around fourkey dimensions:
Individualism vs. collectivism: To what extent do peoplebelieve in individual responsibility and reward rather than
having these measures aimed at the larger group? Japanactually ranks in the middle of this dimension, whileIndonesia and West Africa rank toward the collectivisticside. The U.S., Britain, and the Netherlands rate towardindividualism.
Power distance: To what extent is there a strongseparation of individuals based on rank? Power distancetends to be particularly high in some Latin Americancountries, while it is more modest in Northern Europe andthe U.S.

Masculinity vs. femininity. Masculine values involvecompetition and conquering nature by means such aslarge construction projects, while feminine values involveharmony and environmental protection. Japan is one ofthe more masculine countries, while the Netherlands rank
relatively low. The U.S. is close to the middle, slightlytoward the masculine side.
Uncertainty avoidance involves the extent to which astructured situation with clear rules is preferred to a moreambiguous one; in general, countries with lower
uncertainty avoidance tend to be more tolerant ofrisk. Japan ranks very high and the U.S. is in the lower
range of the distribution.

The reality of legal systems. Some legalsystems, such as that of the U.S., are relatively
transparentthat is, the law tends to be whatits plain meaning would suggest. In somecountries, however, there are laws on the books
which are not enforced (e.g., although Japan hasantitrust laws similar to those of the U.S.,collusion is openly tolerated). Further, theamount of discretion left to government officials
tends to vary.In Japan, through the doctrine ofadministrative guidance, great latitude is left to
government officials, who effectively make up thelaws.

Legal systems of the World. approaches tolaw across the World, with some differenceswithin each:
Common law, the system in effect in the U.S., isbased on a legal tradition ofprecedent. Each
case that raises new issues is considered on itsown merits, and then becomes a precedent forfuture decisions on that same issue.
Code law, which is common in Europe, gives
considerably shorter leeway to judges, who arecharged with matching specific laws tosituationsthey cannot come up with innovativesolutions when new issues come up.

Socialist lawis based on the premise thatthe government is always right andtypically has not developed a sophisticatedframework of contracts (you do what the
governments tells you to do) or intellectualproperty protection (royalties areunwarranted since the governmentultimately owns everything). Former

Overview of global marketing information systemsOverview of global marketing information systems
Marketing Information System (MIS) provides managers andother decision makers with continuous flow of information
about markets, customers, competitors, and companyoperations.
A MIS should provide a means of gathering, analysing,classifying, storing, retrieving and reporting relevant dataabout customers, channels, sales and competitors.
A companys MIS should also cover important aspects of acompanys external environment.
Global competition intensifies the need for an effective MIS.Global companies like Toyota and Ford have sophisticatedelectronic data interchange (EDI) systems to improve inter
company information sharing. Internet has complemented and dramatically expanded the
ability to access up to date information anywhere in the world.
MIS must provide relevant information in a timely, cost-efficient and actionable manner.

By definition, then, a business that focuses on a nichemarket is addressing a need for a product or service that is
not being addressed by mainstream providers. You canthink of a niche market as a narrowly defined group ofpotential customers.
For instance, instead of offering cleaning services, abusiness might establish a niche market by specializing in
blind cleaning services. Why should you bother to establish a niche market?
Because of the great advantage of being alone there; othersmall businesses may not be aware of your particular nichemarket, and large businesses won't want to bother with it.
The trick to capitalizing on a niche market is to find ordevelop a market niche that has customers who areaccessible, that is growing fast enough, and that is notowned by one established vendor already. See How to Findand Master a Niche Market for more information.
