based on the concepts that define Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions Theory, please match each cultural scenario to its corresponding cultural construct. Select either individualism vs collectivism, power distance or masculinity vs. femininity for each cultural scenario. A) In Malaysia, team members will not initiate any action, and they like to be guided and directed to complete a task. If a manager doesn't take charge, they may think that the task isn't important. B) If you open an office in Japan, you should recognize you are operating in a hierarchical, deferential and traditionally patriarchal society. Long hours are the norm, and this, in turn, can make it harder for female team members to gain advancement, due to family commitments. C) In Central American countries such as Panama and Guatemala, a marketing campaign that emphasizes benefits to the community would likely be understood and well received, as long as the people addressed feel part of the same group.
