How do the Hofstede dimensions compare with others?
Many researchers have undertaken cross-nation studies since Hofstede. Most frameworks focus on what Hofstede calls individualism / collectivism (e.g. Hall, Triandis, Trompenaars, Inglehart) – this is the dimension that most distinguishes the ‘West’ from other countries. Some include other dimensions (e.g. GLOBE, Schwartz, Minkov). One can see each of these studies as a conceptual tool – several can be usable depending on what you want.
