Hofstede's Dimensions of Culture

Hofstede's Dimensions of Culture are six key factors that help explain how cultures differ in their values and behaviors. These dimensions include: 1. **Power Distance**: How much inequality is accepted in society. 2. **Individualism vs. Collectivism**: The degree to which people prioritize personal goals over group goals. 3. **Masculinity vs. Femininity**: The emphasis on competitive versus caring traits. 4. **Uncertainty Avoidance**: Comfort with ambiguity and change. 5. **Long-term vs. Short-term Orientation**: Focus on future rewards versus immediate results. 6. **Indulgence vs. Restraint**: Attitudes towards gratification of desires. These dimensions help in understanding cross-cultural interactions in business and daily life.
