The word attitude is use rather loosely as acatchall term for the whole collection of ones opinions, prejudices, and sentiments,

even though the basic meanings of these terms are different.Belief is the psychological state in which an individual holds a proposition or premise tobe true .[1] Dispositional and occurrent belief concerns the contextual activation of thebelief into thoughts (reactive of propositions) or ideas (based on the belief's premise).

A Cultural Variability Perspective

Following are the point of a Cultural Variability Perspective

n A value-based dimension, such as individualism-collectivism provides us with amore in-depth understanding of why members of two contrastive culturesapproach conflict differently. (American vs. Pakistani)

n Power distance, as a value dimension, also influences our expectations of howwe should be treated and how we treat others.

n In addition to these two value dimensions, the dimension of self-construal helpsus to understand individual-level approaches to conflict.

n The difference between low and high-context communication explains conflictstyle differences between cultures and individuals.

Hedging Against the Macro Environment

Generally, businesses have little to no control over their macro environment. They can, however,prepare for the unexpected by using a PEST or PESTEL analysis . For example, if a business has amanufacturing plant in an area prone to hurricanes, they could hedge against the possible loss bydeveloping an action plan to relocate employees or supplies if threatened by a hurricane. Manyorganizations conduct regular analyses of the macro environment factorsconnected to them, andrevise their strategies accordingly.

Globolization

Legal

Legal factors can limit or change how a business operates. For example, they may have to hireadditional supervisory staff or purchase safety equipment after a new health and safety law ispassed. Child labor laws often limit the hours a minor can work and require set break periods. If anorganization employs several minors, it may have to hire additional help to cover the hours when theminors cannot legally work. Legal factors are determined by both loca llegislation and regional andnational laws. In some cases, companies that do business internationally are also affected byinternational laws.
