The advantage of individualism to business is the 'freedom of speech'. Individualism provides a good check-and-balance as everybody's opinions are heard. The disadvantage would be self-centeredness and the weak gets pushed around Collectivism on the other hand provides a strong harmony, teamwork and minimizes confrontations. On the negative side, collectivism lacks creativity and openness to opinions. It comes to a saying, "if the whole boat is sailing on the wrong direction, eveybody will too' Which is better? Well it depends, individualism has proven to benefit western corporations in today's world. Collectivism on the other hand benefited the islamic civilization 1000 years back.
