Editor's Notes
- #14: 束Perdre la face損 (keeping face + giving face) Cest un point tr竪s important pour les pays collectivistes. Cest la honte supr棚me d棚tre se faire remarqu辿 / groupe. Lobjectif de chacun est non seulement de ne pas perdre la face mais aussi et surtout de ne pas faire perdre la face autrui. Il faut faire en sorte que lautre (celui du m棚me groupe) 束looks good損. Lorsquun individu fait volontairement perdre la face un autre individu cest linsulte supr棚me et elle est lourde de cons辿quences. (suicide) Lego 束individuel損 nexiste pas. 束tre humili辿損 est une expression chinoise qui est apparue dans le langage anglais tardivement. 束Perdre sa fiert辿損 Une expression italienne r辿sume cette situation : 束La Bella Figura損 La peur du ridicule On soccupe de notre image, et si notre 束lembellissement損 de notre image passe par 束le ternissement損 de limage de lautre, ce nest pas un probl竪me.
- #15: Les scores collectivistes sont plus nombreux sur la plan竪te. Lindividualisme est lexception. Sur 101 pays scor辿s : 29 sont individualistes (scores &gt;50) Lassociation high PDI + high IDV, sp辿cifique la France, Belgique et Italie, fait que cest difficile pour dautres cultures de travailler avec nous. Cette association est paradoxale et engendre des comportementaux paradoxaux. = Beaucoup de politique, de jeux de pouvoir, de tensions entre les diff辿rents niveaux hi辿rarchiques = beaucoup de 束coups en douce損 tout semble tr竪s organis辿 et r辿gent辿 et tout se fait par derri竪re. DEFI : arriver lexpliquer aux autres. Hongrie : IDV + low PDI : le low PDI fait baisser les craintes pour communiquer de fa巽on directe. Les critiques sont plus faciles. Proche de lAllemagne. La communication tr竪s directe peut nous choquer. Turquie / Roumanie : COLL + high PDI : Il faut accepter de passer du temps pour 辿tablir la relation. Communication tr竪s indirecte. Il faut savoir o湛 est le pouvoir. COLL : sint辿resser au contexte de la communication, cest plus important que le contenu o湛 on nous invite, qui parle
