Cima E2 Exam Question No 50

Question No 50:

What is Uncertainty Avoidance?
Uncertainty Avoidance is the extent to which a culture will accept uncertainty and risk. People in cultures with high uncertainty avoidance such as Belgium try to minimise the occurrence of unknown and unusual circumstances and to proceed with careful changes step by step planning and by implementing rules, laws and regulations. In contrast, low uncertainty avoidance cultures, such as Denmark accept and feel comfortable in unstructured situations or changeable environments and try to have as few rules as possible.
