AboutProfessor Geert Hofstede

He conducted the most comprehensive studies on national values, introducing the

dimension concept.

His most popular book, Cultures and Organizations: Software of the Mind, has

been translated into 20 different languages.

He has developed the famous 6 dimensional model of

National Culture as well as the Organisational Culture Model.

Culture

The way in which members of an organisation relate to each other,

their work and the outside world in comparison to other organisations

Prof. Dr. Geert Hofstede

Organisational Culture is about differences in practices between organizations and/or parts within the same organization (sub-cultures). 

National Culture is about the value

differences between groups of nations and/or
