Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Political, Regulatory, Technological, Dimensions 23. 23 Political Environment: Ideologies (ideas reflecting beliefs and values influencing behavior/culture of nations and political systems) underlie the actions of governments. Evaluate a political system along two dimensions: (1) rights of citizens based on a system of government (range democratic to totalitarian); (2) Focus of political system on individualism vs. collectivism. No pure form of government (how is the US collectivist?) Democratic tend to emphasize individualism and totalitarian tends to emphasize collectivism.
