WOMEN IN MANAGEMENT A COMPARISON OF NIGERIA AND GERMANY USING CULTURAL THEORIES OF HOFSTEDE AND LEWIS

ABSTRACT
This Bachelor's thesis examines women's management from different perspectives. It draws the comparison of women in management in Nigeria and German using Hofstede and Lewis's cultural theories. Throughout this thesis, the methodology and analytics are from various expert sources in the business management field, including the data gathered from interviews and published journals. Women management has served both Nigeria and Germany dating back to independence and the early renaissance period. Since its inception, numerous arguments have been drawn both for and against women's role in entrepreneurship and international business as well. The comparison of both cultures is based on Lewis's and Hofstede's perspectives. The analysis of Hofstede's outlook mainly involves comparison in power distance, individualism versus collectivism, and masculinity versus femininity. Of particular significance, Lewis's perspective is linear active and multi-active. This thesis's analysis forms the most significant structure in which the entire project dimension and hierarchal system justification are based. Nigeria has high power distance index standards, and the perfect manager is considered a benevolent autocrat, unlike Germany, which is very decentralized and filled with stable middle-class managers
