How power distance and cultural diversity in workplace affect knowledge management and business intelligence in public sector institutions in Saudi Arabia and compare it to Australian institutions.

Distance and cultural diversity in workplace

Saudi Arabia workplace in public sectors is mostly monopoly on the Saudis natives. To illustrate, schools for examples are fully operated only by Saudis employees and the foreign people cannot work in schools according to the government regulations. Also, in other places such as universities and ministry only 5% of total work force can be full by foreign employees. Also, in private sector, the government policy that called “Saudization” which aimed to replace the current foreign workers with Saudi native in order to reduce unemployment in local labour force.
also,
This dimension deals with the fact that all individuals in societies are not equal � it expresses the attitude of the culture towards these inequalities amongst us. Power Distance is defined as the extent to which the less powerful members of institutions and organisations within a country expect and accept that power is distributed unequally. It has to do with the fact that a society�s inequality is endorsed by the followers as much as by the leaders.

Australia scores low on this dimension (36). Within Australian organizations, hierarchy is established for convenience, superiors are always accessible and managers rely on individual employees and teams for their expertise. Both managers and employees expect to be consulted and information is shared frequently. At the same time, communication is informal, direct and participative.

On the other hand, Australia is multicultural environment. so based on that I want to test:
