Aspects regarding Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions Model

چکیده
This paper attempted to present cultural dimensions which can be used to describe a specific culture. Culture does not result from tradition but from the activity of sharing, exploiting, using some area of the earth and its resources. Successful cultures are those that adjust these activities in response to the changing physical, social, and economic constraints of their environment.
