“…Cultural values can be measures as for each dimension two extreme value are specified and each countries cultural value can be measured accordingly. To illustrate, Rokeach value survey (Thompson, 1982), Schwartz's cultural value dimension (Schwarts, 1999) have developed frameworks to explore the different components of culture. The two most recognized theory of culture are developed by Hofstede (1994) and Schwartz (2001).…”

Corporate governance seeks to ensure a fair return on the investment and it also establishes incentives and procedures that meet the interests of shareholders while respecting other stakeholders' interests in the organization. Corporate governance has become one of the hottest topics of discussion in the circle of regulators, practitioners and academic in the aftermath of recent financial crisis. The financial crisis pint points the lack of corporate governance practice and that many institutions have taken heed to ensure compliance of corporate governance to win back the confidence of investors and regulators. Well-developed theories like agency theory, stewardship theory, hegemony theory and transaction cost theory could be used to understand the concept of corporate governance. The aims of this research are to anlayse the concept of corporate governance and see the level of adherence to corporate governance in emerging economies. The research also endeavors to link the cultural influence in the adoption of corporate governance. As there are only limited researches so far on the corporate governance and related issues in emerging markets, this research would contribute to the existing knowledge by filling the gap on corporate governance in emerging markets.

“…Educators tried various ways in analyzing cultures, examples included Bond's Chinese Value Survey (Bond 1988), the Rokeach Value Survey (Thompson 1982) and various others (Robert and Bayacigiller 1984). However, one of the most widely use method is still the cultural dimensions created by Geert Hofstede around the early 1980s (Allan 2002;Dimmock 1998;Paulus et al 2005;Yates and Cutler 1996).…”

Globalization has changed the way people behave in different aspects of life. One of the significant differences is that people are now competing with everyone around the world, not just people within or near their own regions. A good way of remaining competitive is to provide quality education that can help students meet the needs of the competitive economy. However, not all nations are responding in the same way. Using a quantitative approach, this explorative study seeks to discover if, and how, cultural dimensions fit into the process of meeting the demands of the competitive economy by means of education across regions. Forty-three regions with different ratings on the Power Distance Index (PDI), Individualism (IDV), Masculinity (MAS), and the Uncertainty Avoidance Index (UAI) are included in this study. The results show that UAI, PDI and IDV are significant factors relating to this issue.

“…The distinction of ipsative versus normative scored scales has long been recognized by methodologists (e.g., Cattell, 1944;Clemans, 1966;Gorsuch, 1974;Hicks, 1970;Kerlinger, 1973), and the benefits and limitations of each continue to be discussed in the literature of various areas of psychological inquiry including animal learning (e.g., Hurwitz & Davis, 1983), personal values and attributions (e.g., Maruyama, 1982;Thompson, Levitov, & Miederhoff, 1982), educational psychology (e.g., Merritt & Marshall, 1984 Stones & Webster, 1984), clinical psychology (e.g., Cooper & Kline, 1982;Fischer & Turner, 1978;Tornlin, et al, 1984), and personnel psychology (Johnson, Wood, & Blinkhorn, 1988;Saville & Willson, 1991;Tenopyr, 1988).…”

lpsative measures are multiple measures, where the data are collected, or are modified, in such a way that all subject totals across the measures are equal. Much has been written about factor analysis with such data, however, no clear consensus has been reached regarding the suitability of ipsative measures for factor analysis. The purpose of the present article is to show analytically the fundamental problems that ipsative measures impose for factor analysis. The expected value of the correlation between ipsative measures is shown to equal - 1/ ( k - I), where k is the number of measures. The rank of the resulting correlation matrix is reduced by one to k - 1, and ipsativity alone produces k - 1 artifactual bipolar factors, which will obscure any actual interrelations among the measures. If the data are known to be ipsative or if the tell-tale signs of ipsativity are seen, factor analysis should not be done.
