Planning involves choosing tasks that must be performed to reach goals. Organizing is designating task to people within the organization under the planning functions.Leading or influencing is motivating and guiding decisions to reach organizational attainment. Last but not least controlling is like checks and balances where you analyze the company and make necessary steps to fix the organization  This artifact is extremely valuable to me because this is what helped me understand the bases  of these four functions to reach organizational goals. This also taught me what i feel to be the blueprint to this course .

The last step is to put your plan to the test.

Hofstede discussed dimensions based on cultural values the first one is power distance where a society believe that whoever holds the most power runs the country. some cultures want to avoid uncertainty and these are the people who want some stable.Individualism and collectivism are opposite and countries that practice individualism are all for themselves . Collectivism practices teamwork as a whole. Some countries emphasis gender where your sex determines what you should do in society and last but not least there are short term and long term orientation and this is all about success of a country and the steps they are willing to to get there .
