Chapter 4, Problem 10DQ
Summary Introduction
To Explain:
How might the social value of low versus high power distance influence how you would lead and motivate employees? What about the value of low versus high performance orientation?

But it's clear that mass lies in lower power and higher power few people. So you must make a balance because both of them are complementary to each other.
