On Hofstede’s chart of the dimensions of National Culture, Italy differs from the United States in two areas, the distance of power and uncertainty avoidance (Green & Warren, 2020). Italians accept the power to be distributed unequally as opposed to the more egalitarian Americans. Furthermore, Italians are likely to seek clarity in uncertain situations and may be uncomfortable with ambiguity. As a southern European State, Italians are likely to try to assert the collective importance, in contrast to Americans who are more individualistic (Green & Warren, 2020).
To avoid unwanted costs and outcomes, an analysis of Italian legal characteristics and Political realities is needed. Italy is a Civil law system that would make any disputes arising from violations of any laws or principles more challenging to contest as civil law systems tend to have more specific regulations (Green & Warren, 2020).
