چکیده

AIB Insights 5 my 1980 monoGrAph culture’s consequences demonstrated how differences between the cultures of nations could be meaningfully described as relative positions on a limited number of measurable “dimensions.” These dimensions were empirically based on anthropologically meaningful personal values dominant in the respective nations, measured through questionnaires. This “dimension paradigm” turned out to appeal strongly to practicing managers and management scholars. In the 1980s I used the same paradigm – with different dimensions – for describing differences between the cultures of organizations and corporations within countries (Hofstede, 1991). In the 1990s and 2000s, several other researchers undertook developing their own cross-national dimension frameworks, the best known being Shalom Schwartz (1994) from Israel and Robert J. House with the GLOBE team (2004) from the United States.
