Hofstede's Dimensions

Hofstede's Dimensions are a framework for understanding cultural differences across countries. They include: 1. **Power Distance**: How much unequal power distribution is accepted. 2. **Individualism vs. Collectivism**: Preference for individual goals versus group goals. 3. **Masculinity vs. Femininity**: Importance of competitiveness versus cooperation and care. 4. **Uncertainty Avoidance**: Comfort with uncertainty and ambiguity. 5. **Long-Term vs. Short-Term Orientation**: Focus on future rewards versus immediate results. 6. **Indulgence vs. Restraint**: Openness to pleasure versus control over desires. These dimensions help explain how culture influences behavior, communication, and business practices globally.
