Hofstede's Dimensions of National Culture

Gerard Hendrik Hofstede (1928 - Feb. 12, 2020) was a Dutch social psychologist and IBM employee, well known for his pioneering research on cross-cultural groups and organizations. Hofstede originally defined five dimensions of culture: every society could be rated for each dimension, providing a useful guide to the kinds of cultural differences at play and to deepen understanding of other cultures.
