Statistical approach to Culture
Culture is statistically relevant
Culture can be expressed in numbers
​
The scientific measurement of social values, i.e. Culture, started in the 1980s by the groundbreaking model of Prof.Hofstede which has been repeatedly validated since then.
Today it is applied as a lean, practical, applicable system for managing cultural differences.
​
We are able to give numerical expression to what drives people's behavior.
So we can talk in a common language about the differences that exist between nations, groups, teams, corporate units and organizations.
​
This common language helps us to design ways to bridge those differences and achieve better performance in the workplace and in business relations.
Attitudes to Inequality | Belonging to the Group |
---|---|
Avoiding Uncertainty | What Makes Succes |
Views about Time and Truth | The Happiness Dimension |
​
We are all different. Yet, we share the same concerns and we face the same dilemmas:
​
Our relationship with those who
are in power
Our affinity to belong to various
groups
​
How we find ways to deal with
Uncertainty
​
What we understand when we
talk about success
​
The way we resolve these dilemmas may carry potential for clashes.
But it is also makes us similar and enables us to work together.
