DIMENSIONS OF CULTURAL VARIABILITY

FRAMEWORKS FOR STUDYING CROSS-CULTURAL VARIABILITY * Hall’s concepts of time, space and context * Hofstede’s value dimensions * Trompenaars’ value dilemmas  Cultural Dimensions

HALL’S CONCEPTS Polychronic versus monochronic time orientation Space High versus low context of information

HOFSTEDE’S VALUE DIMENSIONS Individualism versus Collectivism Power Distance Uncertainty Avoidance Masculinity versus Femininity

Individualism pertains to societies in which the ties between individuals are loose: everyone is expected to look after himself or herself and his or her immediate family. Collectivism as its opposite pertains to societies in which people form birth onwards are integrated into strong, cohesive in-groups which throughout people’s lifetime continue to protect them in exchange for unquestioning loyalty.

Power distance- amount of respect and deference between those in superior and subordinate positions

Uncertainty Avoidance- the focus on planning and the creation of stability as a way of dealing with life’s uncertainties

Masculinity- emphasis on dominance, achievement, recognition, task-orientation Femininity - emphasis on Harmony, co-operation, social relationships

TRIANDIS’ CULTURAL PATTERNS * Individualism-collectivism * Cultural looseness-tightness * Cultural Complexity

Individualist cultures:“I” consciousness, prioritizing personal goals, independence Collectivist cultures: “We consciousness,” relational, group oriented

Cultural tightness: cultures where norms are clear, deviations are prohibited Cultural complexity: developed, industrialized, urbanized societies

TROMPENAARS’ DIMENSIONS Individualism-Communitarianism Universalism-Particularism Ascription Oriented- Achievement Oriented Diffuse-Specific

TROMPENAARS’ DIMENSIONS Neutral- Affective Internal-External control Past, present, future time orientation

ADDITIONAL DIMENSIONS Direct versus indirect style of communication Saving face Focus on past, presence or future Matter-of-fact versus building up social relationships Action versus results Problem-solving styles
