WHO & WHY:
Geert Hofstede is a dutch psychologist known for his cultural dimensions theory which analyzed cultural differences among countries. This analysis was based on research done in over 40 countries. While critics have pointed out some shortcomings (here (http://geert hofstede.internationalbusinesscenter.com/mcsweeney.shtml) and here (http://pakacademicsearch.com/pdffiles/ech/517/101 111%20Vol%203,%20No%206%20(2011).pdf) ) of the theory, it does still help highlight cultural differences and provide a framework for individuals and organizations to think about these differences. Success internationally requires businesses to both recognize and adapt to cultural differences.
