“software of the mind,” that are developed duiring chilhood and are reinforced by their
culture.
- These mental programs contain the ideas of a culture and are expressed through ít
dominant values.

than more 100.000 IBM employees in seventy-one countries, and he has subsequentky
broadened his analysis to include many others.

identified five dimensions along which dominant patterns of a culture can be ordered:
power distance, uncertainly avoidance, individualism versus collectivism, masculinity
versus femininity, and long-term versus short-term orientation to time.
- Recently 2 additional dimensions have been added: indulgence versus restraint and
monumentalism versus self-effacement.
- Hofstede’s work provides an excellent synthesis of the relationship between culture
values and social behaviors.
