Spanish Cultural Dimensions. Through this report‚ based on the Hofstede’s cultural dimensions‚ we will try to clarify the main features of the Spanish culture. To get this target we will use a few proverbs or traditional expressions from Spain and relate them to Hofstede’s theory. This way we will be able to understand and know a little bit more about how is the Spanish culture and how it differentiates from other cultures. The first proverb we are going to use says: “La union hace la fuerza”

Cultural Diversity Paper Power Distance & Employee Satifaction Summary The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between power distance and employee satisfaction. Power distance is one of Geert Hofstede´s five cultural dimensions. Hofstede is a Dutch sociologist that has been studying cultures for over 40 years. Power distance can be defined as “the extent to which the less powerful members of institutions and organizations within a country expect and accept that power is

coefficient of restitution of a collision is the ratio of the square root of the rebound height (h) by the drop height (H). The coefficient of restitution varies from object to object and also according to the material which the object is impacted on (in this case bounced on). The value for the coefficient of restitution always ranges from 0 to 1 because ‘h’ cannot be greater than ‘H’. If a collision is perfectly elastic‚ the coefficient of restitution will be 1 and if the collision is perfectly inelastic

To help better understand Mexico’s culture‚ a brief overview of Geert Hofstede’s study of different cultures would be useful. Hofstede’s cultural taxonomy helps in the understanding of cultural differences. Hofstede proposed that people carry mental programs that are developed during their childhood and are reinforced by their culture (Lustig‚ Koester‚ 2006‚ p.114). Through these programs‚ the ideas of a culture are expressed through its principal values. Hofstede conducted a study of over 100‚000

Fortran Exercise #2: Coefficient Of Restitution 1. DEFINITION In this lab‚ we shall be studying the coefficient of restitution of a superball. The coefficient of restitution‚ COR‚ is the ratio of the bounce-back velocity to the original velocity of an object undergoing impact (such as a ball impacting the ground after being dropped from an initial height). Using the principle of the conservation of energy‚ the COR can be used to relate the bounce-back height to the original height of a ball dropped
