Culture's Consequences: Comparing Values, Behaviors, Institutions and Organizations Across Nations

13 reviews
Geert Hofstede

Sage Publications, Inc, 2003

Very valueable, if taken as Hofstede has meant it
Although many comments have already been accumulated let me add something, since some of the reviews tend to get out of focus. Hofstede never claimed to have studied cultures in general, he studied effects of culture on work-related values. For this topic his work is still the standard. The starting point is like this: a large company like IBM tries to establish a strong corporate identity shared ...

Uncommon Sense About Organizations: Cases, Studies, and Field Observations
Geert Hofstede

Sage Publications, Inc, 1994

"Geert Hofstede writes very clearly and engagingly. His interest in people is deep and genuine, and he enjoys the variety of their habits and motivations. His sympathy is usually with the underdogs in any situation, rather than those in authority, but he sees the humanity of both. His studies are carefully done. . . . His insights are nicely expressed. . . .The greatest value of Uncommon Sense About Organizations will probably be as a resource ...

Geert Hofstede

Sage Publications, Inc, 1997

The seminal work on cross-cultural management.
The scope of Hofstede's study (more than 100,000 surveys in 60+ countries) has been called "vast" and "staggering": it certainly stands as the largest cross-cultural values survey in history. More importantly, the book has changed the way that management and psychology researchers look at cross-cultural (or cross- national) comparisons. By providing four dimensions of culture ...

Geert Hofstede, Gert Jan Hofstede

McGraw-Hill, 2004

Monumental Book Well Worth the Read
The father and son team of Geert and Geert Jan Hofstede have done a remarkable job breaking down the (measurable) elements of the world's cultures, usingt the somewhat antiquated IBM studies combined with more recent (less comprehensive) studies. The end result is that nations can be evaulauted on the basis of criteria such as "uncertainty avoidance," "individualism" and "power distance from ...

Masculinity and Femininity: The Taboo Dimension of National Cultures (Cross Cultural Psychology)

Sage Publications, Inc, 1998

In 1980, Geert Hofstede published his monumental work CultureÆs Consequences, which laid out four dimensions on which the differences among national cultures could be understood: individualism, power distance, uncertainty avoidance, and masculinity. Since then much research has been conducted and presented on individualism/collectivism but until now, no single volume has focused on the masculinity dimension of the model. In Masculinity and ...

A superb guidebook. Expensive BUT it works
I am 40 and suffer from ankylosing sponditis (a form of rheumatoid arthritis) and before I found Dr Murray my back pain was intolerable to the degree I seriously wondered if I would ever have a pain free life again. Dark thoughts entered my head and I grew despondent. Then I found this book in a local bookstore and said, Why not, what do I have to lose? Well pain was the biggest thing :-). ...
