Question

American Factory documentary: In post-industrial Ohio, a Chinese billionaire opens a new factory in the husk of an abandoned General Motors plant. Early days of hope and optimism give way to setbacks as high-tech China clashes with working-class America. In this documentary, it was very noticeable how the two cultures clashed because of the nature of their culture, through Hofstede's cultural analysis, how the long term and indulgence dimensions can be described/presented?

Answer 1

It is obvious that high tech China clashes with the working class of America because of the difference in their origin of cultures. Using two cultural dimensions of Hofstede, these differences can be explained. For the present study, long versus short term orientation and indulgence versus restraint are going to be explained in the next segment.
Long versus short term orientation:
This dimension was originally described as pragmatic versus normative. Countries with long term orientation have the tendency to be modest and pragqmatic and thrifty. People often wonder how to know the truth but behave in a modest way. People with long term orientation have a deep route of education and thrift are seen as positive values.
