Abstract

In this chapter we investigate the influence of culture on the effective management of the COVID-19 crisis. In order to study culture we first describe cultures in terms of values. These values are connected to the needs of the agents, giving them a certain default priority, which differs across cultures. Then we will show how culture actually influences how people react to certain types of measurements and the effect this has on the effective management of the COVID-19 crisis.

Fußnoten
1
The notion of ‘infection-waves’ refers to the characteristic ‘wave-shaped’ development of cases of infection over time which tends to transit through phases of growth, stabilization and decay, respectively.
 
2
The decision to satisfy a particular psychological need is deemed to be ‘good’ or the ‘right’ thing to do by a particular individual because of the values he/she cherishes. In this way, values serve to justify the outcomes of a decision-making process [26].
 
3
For a detailed description of the six Hofstede dimensions, see: https://​hi.​hofstede-insights.​com/​national-culture.
 
4
Although an individual’s values may change over the course of a lifetime[53], this process lies beyond the scope of this study.
 
5
Originally, conformity and tradition are considered to distinct values; the latter forming a more extreme version of conformity. For the sake of simplicity, these values are currently thought of as constituting a mild—i.e. conformity—and a more extreme—i.e. tradition—case of the same type of value.
 
9
Performing unit tests involves taking individual units or components of the model and providing them with well-defined inputs as to assess whether the consequent outputs are in agreement with the a-priori expectations of the modeller(s). In other words, each model component is tested to verify whether what it does is the same as what it should do.
 
10
A modelling artefact occurs when there is a mismatch between the set of assumptions that causes the occurrence of a certain phenomenon and the set of assumptions that the modeller believes is responsible for producing that phenomenon [70].
 
11
Of the cultural sub-model in particular.
 
12
‘Soft’ policy measures are considered to be non-coercive strategies aimed at limiting the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and mortality of COVID-19. ‘Hard’ measures, on the other hand, are coercive. An example of a ‘hard’ measure is to fine or incarcerate people for not engaging in social distancing.
 
13
The notion of complexity refers here to the quantity of measures concurrently implemented and the quality of these measures in terms of their managerial demands such as the need to coordinate and monitor processes of cooperation among a multitude of stakeholders over varying spatio-temporal scales. For instance, solely advising a population to maintain a safe physical distance from one another whilst carrying out one’s daily activities is defined by a lower degree of complexity than organising and managing the implementation of a hard-lockdown.
