Description
In Cultures and Organizations: Software of the Mind, Third Edition, Geert Hofstede, Michael Minkov, and Gert Jan Hofstede delve into the intricate relationship between culture and organisational behaviour. This seminal work builds upon Hofstede's pioneering research, presenting a comprehensive framework for understanding how cultural dimensions shape our mental programming and influence interactions within diverse organisational contexts.
The Story
The book systematically explores key cultural dimensions such as Power Distance, Individualism versus Collectivism, Masculinity versus Femininity, Uncertainty Avoidance, Long-Term Orientation, and Indulgence versus Restraint. Each dimension is illustrated with real-world examples, enabling readers to grasp the profound impact of cultural values on workplace dynamics and decision-making processes.
Why Readers Love It

Perfect For
This book is ideal for students and professionals in fields such as sociology, organisational behaviour, and international business. It serves as an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to navigate the complexities of cross-cultural communication and organisational effectiveness. Readers may also find value in Hofstede's other works, such as Culture's Consequences and Dimensions of National Culture, which further explore these pivotal themes.
