Cultural Challenges and Institutional Structure in Brazil and China
Leaders within firms play varying roles based on the country's cultural values where the organization is located. Many people associate the concept of leadership with individual cultural perceptions. Culture influences leadership and institutional structures within nations, and managers are expected to align their strategies to the people's culture and perceptions. Based on the cultural context, international managers are expected to portray tolerable demeanors and attitudes. The nation's cultural values also create institutional structures that determine the hierarchy of leadership and how roles are delegated or assigned to team members. There are specific institutional structures that value risk-taking and promote people’s welfare. Other countries have cultural values and institutional structures offering managers or leaders power to decide the institution’s direction. These aspects play an essential role in how international managers make decisions affecting the business's long-term and short-term objectives. An international manager's leadership strategy is influenced by the cultural challenges and institutional structures within a nation based on the people's cultural perceptions and attitudes.
