Cultural Dimensions covers a framework of behavior, prospect and valuation tendencies that are related with 50 cultures around these structures, moreover, each ingrained in a key issue with which all communities have to manage.
These days, Hofstede’s theory of Cultural Dimensions is a precise analysis of current world companies and corporations, universities and different cross-cultural facilities to reach greater comprehension of members in universal
context. We also characterized various types and kinds of culture such as power distance, collectivism and individualism, femininity and masculinity, uncertainty avoidance, long-term and short-term orientation and finally indulgence and restraint.
