Research shows that global managers face a much different leadership context as compared to their domestic counterparts. One study done by Project GLOBE found that culture played a significant role in leadership traits. The study identified six leadership styles: performance-oriented; team-oriented; participative; humane; autonomous; and self-protective. Match each managerial trait and country cluster to the appropriate leadership style.
Autonomous Managerial Trait Leadership Style Country Cluster
Self-Protective Vision and core values Anglo
Performance oriented Collaboration SE Asian
Participative Delegation and equality Germanic
Humane Compassion SE Asian
Team oriented Individualistic Germanic
Status-conscious Middle-Eastern

Suppose that two firms produce differentiated products and compete in prices. as in class, the two firms are located at two ends of a line one mile apart. consumers are evenly distributed along the line. the firms have identical marginal cost, $60. firm b produces a product with value $110 to consumers.firm a (located at 0 on the unit line) produces a higher quality product with value $120 to consumers. the cost of travel are directly related to the distance a consumer travels to purchase a good. if a consumerhas to travel a mile to purchase a good, the incur a cost of $20. if they have to travel x fraction of a mile, they incur a cost of $20x. (a) write down the expressions for how much a consumer at location d would value the products sold by firms a and b, if they set prices p_{a} and p_{b} ? (b) based on your expressions in (a), how much will be demanded from each firm if prices p_{a} and p_{b} are set? (c) what are the nash equilibrium prices?
