Cross-Cultural Analysis is the sequel to Culture's Consequences, the classic work published by Geert Hofstede, one
of the most influential management thinkers in today's times. Hofstede's original work introduced a new research paradigm in cross-cultural analysis: studying cultural differences through nation-level dimensions (complex variables defined by intercorrelated items). This paradigm has been subsequently used by hundreds of prominent scholars all over the world and has produced solid results. This new text takes the next step: It critically examines in one comprehensive volume the current,
prevalent approaches to cross-cultural analysis at the level of nations that have been developed since Hofstede's work, offering students and researchers the theoretical and practical advantages and potential pitfalls of each method. The book is structured into four distinct parts. Parts I and
II focus on the main theoretical and statistical issues in cross-cultural analysis using Hofstede's approach and the different research methods now associated with it. Part II consists of presentations of all well-known (and some lesser known) large-scale cross-cultural studies since
Hofstede's work that have explained cross-cultural variation in terms of dimensional models. Part III summarizes the main conclusions to be drawn from the presentations in Part II and I
explains how the proposed models have contributed to our practical understanding of cross-cultural diversity. Cultural Dimensions Across Modern NationsCultural dimensions across modern nations We have now entered into a fully pluralistic and democratic era of cross-cultural social science, where publishing country- or society-level scores so that they can be used in subsequent cross-cultural studies by future researchers is both normative and popular. —Paez et al. (2008, p. 453) The third part of this book discusses major studies of cross-cultural variation across modern nations or ethnic groups reporting national indices that can be viewed as measures of dimensions of national or ethnic culture. The definition of a study as “major” is based on two main criteria. First, it should involve at least 20 countries from different continents. One exception to the rule was made for Merritt's (2000) attempted replication of Hofstede's dimensions, ... locked icon Sign in to access this contentSign in Get a 30 day FREE TRIAL

Which value would most likely be associated with a collectivist culture?People who live in collectivist cultures value social harmony, respectfulness, and group needs over individual needs.
