Abstract: Singapore is an Asian country with a typically high degree of hierarchy and power distance. It is also a country with a keen awareness of the need to keep ahead in the development of its workforce and has ambitious plans for tailoring its limited labour market to become a knowledge-based one. The paper analyzes whether its existing corporate culture of power distance and mechanistic management style is ready for the development into the flatter structures which globalization requires.
