Hall's cultural dimensions theory

Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions Theory identifies key aspects that differentiate cultures worldwide. It explores how societies value things like individual versus collective goals, the importance placed on rules and uncertainty, and attitudes toward power and authority. For example, some cultures emphasize personal freedom and independence, while others focus on community and hierarchy. These dimensions help explain cultural behaviors, work styles, and communication patterns, offering insights into cross-cultural interactions and global business practices.
