Cultures And Organizations Software Of The Mind English Summary
The message of Geert Hofstede is as simple as it is powerful. When in search of suitable management theories always keep in mind the cultural background and check if the theory is applicable in ones own cultural setting. Applying a management theory without cultural awareness can lead to unexpected problems. Suitable culture interventions can only be designed with respect for the current cultural values and with full understanding of the new appropriate culture. They must fit within the Gestalt of the organization and reshape the gestalt where necessary. Hofstedes cultural dimensions enable you to look beyond your own cultural paradigm and see and appreciate other points of view.
