In brendan's home country, senior officers eat in the same cafeteria as the entry level workers. on a trip to a different country, he was surprised to find that the company he was visiting had different cafeterias for managers and workers as well as different parking lots. the difference that brendan perceived is attributed to which of hofstede's dimensions?

The answer is "power distance".

Power distance is a term that depicts how individuals having a place with a particular culture see power connections - predominant/subordinate connections - between individuals, including the degree that individuals not in power acknowledge that power is spread unequally.  

People in societies showing a powerful separation are extremely respectful to figures of power and for the most part acknowledge an unequal appropriation of power, while people in societies exhibiting a low power remove promptly question expert and hope to take an interest in choices that influence them.  

Power distance is one of the measurements of Geert Hofstede's social measurements hypothesis. Alternate measurements incorporate independence, manliness, vulnerability evasion list, and long haul introduction.

the answer would be voluntary exchange -

"the act of buyers and sellers freely and willingly engaging in market transactions. moreover, transactions are made in such a way that both the buyer and the seller are better off after the exchange than before it occurred."
