ABSTRACT
This paper represents an investigation into the classification of Mongolian
culture using the six dimensional model of Geert Hofstede: Power Distance,
Uncertainty Avoidance, Individualism-Collectivism, Masculinity-Femininity,
Long-Short Term Orientation, and Indulgence-Restrain. Mongolia wasnotone
of the countries included in Hofstede’s original studies, and no evidence of a
subsequent study of Mongolia has been foundintheliterature. WhileHofstede
and others did study many countries in Asian, there is a lack of empirically
based research on the cultural classification of Mongolian. The results of this
study indicate that Mongolia is a masculine, individualist culture that is
relatively low in uncertainty avoidance and high in power distance, whose
people have a short-term orientation towards time. The paper compares
Mongolian culture with those of other countries in Asian, aswell aswithselect
cultures from other regions.

A. INTRODUCTION
The importance of cross-cultural management liesinthe on-
growing co-operation between companies in different
countries where difficulties may arise because of the
different cultural backgrounds. Geert Hofstede is one of the
well-known researchers in the field of culture and
management. He arose six basic issues that society needs to
come to term with in order to organize itself. These are
called dimensions of culture: Individualism, Powerdistance,
Masculinity, Uncertainty avoidance, Long term orientation
and Indulgence. Each of them has been expressed on a scale
that runs roughly from 0 to 100. The six-dimension model is
very useful in international business, communication,
negotiation, investment and marketing. Hofstede originally
surveyed 72 countries and was able to profile 40 different
cultures. Some countries have not been involved in the
Hofstede study. One of them is Mongolia. Mongolia situated
strategically between Russia and China. Mongolia not only
offers domestically a growing cosmopolitan market also
presents tremendous export opportunities for foreign
investors in a number of sectors. This country is a world’s
largest reserves of gold, coal, cooper, and iron ore, and
possesses significantholdingsofothermineral wealth.There
are a number of foreign companies which have significant
exposure to Mongolia's mining wealth.
Also Mongolia is one of the Global Growth Generating (3G)
countries which have been identified as a source of growth
potential and of profitable investment opportunities. It has
attracted massive foreign investmentinrecentyears.Foreign
Direct Investment in Mongolia increased by 21183.60 USD
Million in the second quarter of 2019. Foreign Direct
Investment in Mongoliaaveraged17512.39USDMillionfrom
2010 until 2019, reaching an all time high of 21183.60 USD
Million in the second quarter of 2019 and a record low of
8444.70 USD Million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Very little
is known about this rapidly emerging country with huge
business potential. The purpose of this study is to define the
Mongolian national cultural values using the Hofstede 6-D
model then compare other countriesnationalculturalvalues.
This study makes several contributions to this field. As
foreigners flock to Mongolia in search of business.
opportunities, it might be worthwhile to have a better
understanding of it’s people and their cultural values.
Clarifying Mongolian nationalculturalvaluesisimportantfor
foreign business in Mongolia and their future success. And
strategists and managers may use our result to their future
research about Mongolian consumer and marketing plan in
Mongolian market. Finally our result will help foreign
company’s success which doing business in Mongolia or
planned to run a business in Mongolia.

B. LITERATURE REVIEW
1. Hostede’s Cultural Dimensions
This paper represents an investigation intotheclassification
of Mongolian culture using the six dimensional model of
Geert Hofstede. In order to do business in a country it is
essential to understand its culture, which implies
understanding its peoples’ values and beliefs. A theoretical
framework is helpful to facilitate such an understanding. It
can be argued that the most popular and far-reaching cross-
cultural research work is that of Geert Hofstede and his
associates. Hofstede, who was employed as an industrial
psychologist by IBM during the late 1960s and early 1970s
administered a “values” survey to employees in the
subsidiaries of the company. Based on the data, Hofstede
concluded that management theorieswere boundbyculture.
Management behavior appropriate in one culture may be
inappropriate in another(Hofstede,1980a;Hofstede,1980b;
Hofstede, 1983; Hofstede, 1993; Hofstede, 1994; Hofstede,
2001). Hofstede’s work has been widely cited in various
academic studies (Kirkman, Lowe & Gibson, 2006) and
typically forms the basis for cross-cultural analysis in
university-level management courses. Using data from the
original 72 countries surveyed, Hofstede was able to profile
40 countries. Later researchprovidedfortheclassificationof
10 more countries and three regions – East Africa, West
Africa, and the Arab world(www.geert-hofstede.com,2015).
Hofstede identified six dimensions of culture: Power
Distance,UncertaintyAvoidance,Individualism-Collectivism,
Masculinity-Femininity, Long-Short Term Orientation, and
Indulgence-Restrain. The six dimensions measured were
developed in the work of Geert Hofstede and his co-
researchers, and are described extensively in the 3rd edition
of Hofstede, Hofstede & Minkov, 2010. This study used
Hofstede’s Value Survey Module 2013 (VSM13). They deal
with key issues in national societies, known from social
anthropology andcross-cultural research.Theearliestpublic
version of the instrument (VSM 82) covered four
dimensions, derived froma comparisonofsubsidiariesofthe
IBM corporation in 40 countries. The next version (VSM 94)
covered five; the additional dimension was found in a
comparison of studentsin23 countriesusinga questionnaire
mainly designed by Chinese scholars (Hofstede & Bond,
1988). The sixth dimension in the present version was
derived from Minkov’s analysis of the World Values Survey
in up to 81 countries (Inglehart et al., 2007) and othernewly
available sources.

In this section will summarize the content of each dimension
opposing cultures with low and high scores. These
oppositions are based on correlations with studiesbyothers,
and because the relationship is statistical, not every line
applies equally strongly to every country.

C. METHOD
Respondents Demographic Analysis
Among the 566 respondents, most of the respondents
gender was 155 (28%) were male and 399 (72%) were
female. Most of the respondents’age wasfrom20to29years
old. The respondents were mixed in terms of their residing
in urban and rural areas of Mongolia. The survey
respondents were mostly young adults who volunteered to
participate in the research study. There were 202 (36%)
respondents age was under 20 years; 209 (37%)
respondents age was between 20 to 24 years; 71 (13%)
respondents age was from 25 to 29 years; The 321 (57%)
were students (Table VIII-XI).
This study used Hofstede’sValuesSurveyModule2013(VSM
13)1. The items measured Mongolian cultureonthesixvalue
dimensions. The results were determined by usingtheindex
method developed by Hofstede. The scores for the value
dimensions obtained in this study were compared to the
scores obtained by Hofstede (www.geert-hofstede.com,
2015). Comparisons were made to three select countries:
China, Japan, and Russia.

Figure I. Plot of the six cultural value dimenstion in
Mongolia.
1. Power distance
This dimension deals with the fact that all individuals in
societies are not equal – it expresses the attitude of the
culture towards these inequalities amongst us. Power
distance is defined as the extent to which the less powerful
members of institutions and organisations within a country
expect and accept that power is distributed unequally.
At 85 Mongolia sits in the higher rankings of PDI – i.e. a
society that believes that inequalities amongst people are
acceptable. The subordinate-superior relationship tends to
be polarized and there is no defense against power abuse by
superiors. Individualsareinfluenced byformal authority and
sanctions and are in general optimistic about people’s
capacity for leadership andinitiative.Peopleshouldnothave
aspirations beyond their rank.
Figure II. Score for power distance in Mongolia and
select countries
2. Individualism
The fundamental issue addressed by this dimension is the
degree of interdependence a society maintains among its
members. It has to do with whether people´s self-image is
defined in terms of “I” or “We”. In Individualist societies
people are supposed to look after themselves and their
direct family only. In Collectivist societies people belong to
‘in groups’ that take care of them in exchange for loyalty.
Mongolia, with a score of 57 is anIndividualistic society.This
means there is a high preference for a loosely-knit social
framework in which individuals are expected to take care of
themselves and their immediate families only. In
individualistic societies offencecausesguiltanda lossofself-
esteem, the employer/employee relationship is a contract
based on mutual advantage, hiring and promotion decisions
are supposed to be based on merit only, management is the
management of individuals.
Figure III. Score for power distance in Mongolia and
select countries
3. Masculinity
A high score (masculine) onthisdimensionindicatesthat the
society will be driven by competition, achievement and
success, with success being defined by the winner/best in
field – a value system that starts in school and continues
throughout organisational behaviour.
Figure IV. Score for masculinity in Mongolia and select
countries
A low score (feminine) on the dimension means that the
dominant values in society are caring for others and quality
of life. A feminine society is one where quality of life is the
sign of success and standing out from the crowd is not
admirable. The fundamental issue here is what motivates
people, wanting to be the best (masculine) or liking what you
do (feminine).
Mongolia scores 70 on this dimension and is thus a
masculine society. In masculine countries people “live in
order to work”, managers are expected to be decisive and
assertive, the emphasis is on equity, competition and
performance and conflicts are resolved by fightingthemout.
4. Uncertainty avoidance
The dimension Uncertainty Avoidance has to do with the
way that a society deals with the fact that the future can
never be known: should we try to control the future or just
let it happen? This ambiguity brings with it anxiety and
different cultures have learnt to deal with this anxiety in
different ways. The extent to which the members of a culture
feel threatened by ambiguous or unknownsituations andhave
created beliefs and institutions that try to avoid these is
reflected in the UAI score.
At 28 Mongolia has a low score on uncertainty avoidance.
Uncertainty acceptingcultures,aremoretolerantofopinions

and contemplative, and not expected by their environment
to express emotions.
None the less, adherence to laws and rules may be flexible to
suit the actual situation and pragmatism is a fact of life.
Mongolians are adaptableandentrepreneurial.Atthetimeof
writing the majority (80%) of Mongolian businesses tend to
be small to medium sized and family owned. They are
adaptable and entrepreneurial.
Figure V. Score for uncertainty avoidance in Mongolia
and select countries
5. Long Term Orientation
This dimension describes how every society has to maintain
some links with its own past while dealing with the challenges
of the present and future, and societies prioritise these two
existential goals differently. Normative societies who score
low on this dimension, for example, prefer to maintain time-
honoured traditions and norms while viewing societal
change with suspicion. Those with a culture which scores
high, on the other hand, take a more pragmatic approach:
they encourage thrift and efforts in modern education as a
way to prepare for the future.
Mongolia scores 36 in this dimension, marking it as a
normative society. People in such societies have a strong
concern with establishing the absolute Truth; they are
normative in their thinking. They exhibit great respect for
traditions, a relatively small propensity tosaveforthefuture,
and a focus on achieving quick results.
Figure VI. Score for long term orientation in Mongolia
and select countries
6. Indulgence
One challenge that confronts humanity, now and in the past,
is the degree to which little children are socialized. Without
socialization we do not become “human”. This dimension is
defined as the extent to which people try to control their
desires and impulses, based on the way they were raised.
Relatively weak control is called “indulgence” and relatively
strong control is called “restraint”. Cultures can, therefore,
be described as indulgent or restrained.
Mongolian high score of 59 marks it as an Indulgent society.
People in societies classified by a high score in indulgence
generally exhibit a willingness to realise their impulses and
desires with regard to enjoying life and having fun. They
possess a positive attitude and have a tendency towards
optimism. In addition, they place a higher degree of
importance on leisure time, act as they please and spend
money as they wish.

countries

E. DISCUSSION
While this study is not unlike the original Hofstede work in
terms of its sample heterogeneity, it is reasonable to
conclude that the somewhat unique characteristics of the
sample are not fully representative of the greaterMongolian
population.
This investigation was third attempt to determine the
cultural values of Mongolia. Limitations of this study are
similar to most other cross-cultural comparative studies.
These results provide a third attempt to gain a general
cultural assessment of the culture of Mongolia. Hofstede
(2013) recommends using matched samples for country
comparison, which means matching the sample with the
demographics of the participants in his original study.
Based upon our assessment, Mongolian culture can be
characterized as being high in power distance, masculine,
individualist, relatively low in uncertainty avoidance, and
short-term orientated.

Kh3 1Department of Business Administration, Da-Yeh University, Changhua, Taiwan 2Department of Architecture, Da-Yeh University, Changhua, Taiwan 3Ph.D., Associate professor, Department of Business Administration, School of Business Administration and Humanities, MUST, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia ABSTRACT This paper represents an investigation into the classification of Mongolian culture using the six dimensional model of Geert Hofstede: Power Distance, Uncertainty Avoidance, Individualism-Collectivism, Masculinity-Femininity, Long-Short Term Orientation, and Indulgence-Restrain. Mongolia wasnotone of the countries included in Hofstede’s original studies, and no evidence of a subsequent study of Mongolia has been foundintheliterature. WhileHofstede and others did study many countries in Asian, there is a lack of empirically based research on the cultural classification of Mongolian. The results of this study indicate that Mongolia is a masculine, individualist culture that is relatively low in uncertainty avoidance and high in power distance, whose people have a short-term orientation towards time. The paper compares Mongolian culture with those of other countries in Asian, aswell aswithselect cultures from other regions.

INTRODUCTION The importance of cross-cultural management liesinthe on- growing co-operation between companies in different countries where difficulties may arise because of the different cultural backgrounds. Geert Hofstede is one of the well-known researchers in the field of culture and management. He arose six basic issues that society needs to come to term with in order to organize itself. These are called dimensions of culture: Individualism, Powerdistance, Masculinity, Uncertainty avoidance, Long term orientation and Indulgence. Each of them has been expressed on a scale that runs roughly from 0 to 100. The six-dimension model is very useful in international business, communication, negotiation, investment and marketing. Hofstede originally surveyed 72 countries and was able to profile 40 different cultures. Some countries have not been involved in the Hofstede study. One of them is Mongolia. Mongolia situated strategically between Russia and China. Mongolia not only offers domestically a growing cosmopolitan market also presents tremendous export opportunities for foreign investors in a number of sectors. This country is a world’s largest reserves of gold, coal, cooper, and iron ore, and possesses significantholdingsofothermineral wealth.There are a number of foreign companies which have significant exposure to Mongolia's mining wealth. Also Mongolia is one of the Global Growth Generating (3G) countries which have been identified as a source of growth potential and of profitable investment opportunities. It has attracted massive foreign investmentinrecentyears.Foreign Direct Investment in Mongolia increased by 21183.60 USD Million in the second quarter of 2019. Foreign Direct Investment in Mongoliaaveraged17512.39USDMillionfrom 2010 until 2019, reaching an all time high of 21183.60 USD Million in the second quarter of 2019 and a record low of 8444.70 USD Million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Very little is known about this rapidly emerging country with huge business potential. The purpose of this study is to define the Mongolian national cultural values using the Hofstede 6-D model then compare other countriesnationalculturalvalues. This study makes several contributions to this field. As foreigners flock to Mongolia in search of business. opportunities, it might be worthwhile to have a better understanding of it’s people and their cultural values. Clarifying Mongolian nationalculturalvaluesisimportantfor foreign business in Mongolia and their future success. And strategists and managers may use our result to their future research about Mongolian consumer and marketing plan in Mongolian market. Finally our result will help foreign company’s success which doing business in Mongolia or planned to run a business in Mongolia. IJTSRD31470

LITERATURE REVIEW 1. Hostede’s Cultural Dimensions This paper represents an investigation intotheclassification of Mongolian culture using the six dimensional model of Geert Hofstede. In order to do business in a country it is essential to understand its culture, which implies understanding its peoples’ values and beliefs. A theoretical framework is helpful to facilitate such an understanding. It can be argued that the most popular and far-reaching cross- cultural research work is that of Geert Hofstede and his associates. Hofstede, who was employed as an industrial psychologist by IBM during the late 1960s and early 1970s administered a “values” survey to employees in the subsidiaries of the company. Based on the data, Hofstede concluded that management theorieswere boundbyculture. Management behavior appropriate in one culture may be inappropriate in another(Hofstede,1980a;Hofstede,1980b; Hofstede, 1983; Hofstede, 1993; Hofstede, 1994; Hofstede, 2001). Hofstede’s work has been widely cited in various academic studies (Kirkman, Lowe & Gibson, 2006) and typically forms the basis for cross-cultural analysis in university-level management courses. Using data from the original 72 countries surveyed, Hofstede was able to profile 40 countries. Later researchprovidedfortheclassificationof 10 more countries and three regions – East Africa, West Africa, and the Arab world(www.geert-hofstede.com,2015). Hofstede identified six dimensions of culture: Power Distance,UncertaintyAvoidance,Individualism-Collectivism, Masculinity-Femininity, Long-Short Term Orientation, and Indulgence-Restrain. The six dimensions measured were developed in the work of Geert Hofstede and his co- researchers, and are described extensively in the 3rd edition of Hofstede, Hofstede & Minkov, 2010. This study used Hofstede’s Value Survey Module 2013 (VSM13). They deal with key issues in national societies, known from social anthropology andcross-cultural research.Theearliestpublic version of the instrument (VSM 82) covered four dimensions, derived froma comparisonofsubsidiariesofthe IBM corporation in 40 countries. The next version (VSM 94) covered five; the additional dimension was found in a comparison of studentsin23 countriesusinga questionnaire mainly designed by Chinese scholars (Hofstede & Bond, 1988). The sixth dimension in the present version was derived from Minkov’s analysis of the World Values Survey in up to 81 countries (Inglehart et al., 2007) and othernewly available sources.

IVR - Indulgence versus Restraint Index The Hofstede Dimensions in a nutshell In this section will summarize the content of each dimension opposing cultures with low and high scores. These oppositions are based on correlations with studiesbyothers, and because the relationship is statistical, not every line applies equally strongly to every country. TABLE I.

Most of the respondents’age wasfrom20to29years old. The respondents were mixed in terms of their residing in urban and rural areas of Mongolia. The survey respondents were mostly young adults who volunteered to participate in the research study. There were 202 (36%) respondents age was under 20 years; 209 (37%) respondents age was between 20 to 24 years; 71 (13%) respondents age was from 25 to 29 years; The 321 (57%) were students (Table VIII-XI). This study used Hofstede’sValuesSurveyModule2013(VSM 13)1. The items measured Mongolian cultureonthesixvalue dimensions. The results were determined by usingtheindex method developed by Hofstede. The scores for the value dimensions obtained in this study were compared to the scores obtained by Hofstede (www.geert-hofstede.com, 2015). Comparisons were made to three select countries: China, Japan, and Russia. TABLE VIII The respondents: gender m25. Are you: Male 155 28% female 399 72% Empty 11 TABLE IX The respondents: age m26.

Plot of the six cultural value dimenstion in Mongolia. 1. Power distance This dimension deals with the fact that all individuals in societies are not equal – it expresses the attitude of the culture towards these inequalities amongst us. Power distance is defined as the extent to which the less powerful members of institutions and organisations within a country expect and accept that power is distributed unequally. At 85 Mongolia sits in the higher rankings of PDI – i.e. a society that believes that inequalities amongst people are acceptable. The subordinate-superior relationship tends to be polarized and there is no defense against power abuse by superiors. Individualsareinfluenced byformal authority and sanctions and are in general optimistic about people’s capacity for leadership andinitiative.Peopleshouldnothave aspirations beyond their rank. Figure II. Score for power distance in Mongolia and select countries 2. Individualism The fundamental issue addressed by this dimension is the degree of interdependence a society maintains among its members. It has to do with whether people´s self-image is defined in terms of “I” or “We”. In Individualist societies people are supposed to look after themselves and their direct family only. In Collectivist societies people belong to ‘in groups’ that take care of them in exchange for loyalty. Mongolia, with a score of 57 is anIndividualistic society.This means there is a high preference for a loosely-knit social framework in which individuals are expected to take care of themselves and their immediate families only. In individualistic societies offencecausesguiltanda lossofself- esteem, the employer/employee relationship is a contract based on mutual advantage, hiring and promotion decisions are supposed to be based on merit only, management is the management of individuals. Figure III. Score for power distance in Mongolia and select countries 3. Masculinity A high score (masculine) onthisdimensionindicatesthat the society will be driven by competition, achievement and success, with success being defined by the winner/best in field – a value system that starts in school and continues throughout organisational behaviour. Figure IV. Score for masculinity in Mongolia and select countries A low score (feminine) on the dimension means that the dominant values in society are caring for others and quality of life. A feminine society is one where quality of life is the sign of success and standing out from the crowd is not admirable. The fundamental issue here is what motivates people, wanting to be the best (masculine) or liking what you do (feminine). Mongolia scores 70 on this dimension and is thus a masculine society. In masculine countries people “live in order to work”, managers are expected to be decisive and assertive, the emphasis is on equity, competition and performance and conflicts are resolved by fightingthemout. 4. Uncertainty avoidance The dimension Uncertainty Avoidance has to do with the way that a society deals with the fact that the future can never be known: should we try to control the future or just let it happen? This ambiguity brings with it anxiety and different cultures have learnt to deal with this anxiety in different ways. The extent to which the members of a culture feel threatened by ambiguous or unknownsituations andhave created beliefs and institutions that try to avoid these is reflected in the UAI score. At 28 Mongolia has a low score on uncertainty avoidance. Uncertainty acceptingcultures,aremoretolerantofopinions different from what they are used to; they try to have fewer rules, and on the philosophical and religious level they are empiricist, relativist and allow differentcurrentstoflowside by side.

None the less, adherence to laws and rules may be flexible to suit the actual situation and pragmatism is a fact of life. Mongolians are adaptableandentrepreneurial.Atthetimeof writing the majority (80%) of Mongolian businesses tend to be small to medium sized and family owned. They are adaptable and entrepreneurial. Figure V. Score for uncertainty avoidance in Mongolia and select countries 5. Long Term Orientation This dimension describes how every society has to maintain some links with its own past while dealing with the challenges of the present and future, and societies prioritise these two existential goals differently. Normative societies who score low on this dimension, for example, prefer to maintain time- honoured traditions and norms while viewing societal change with suspicion. Those with a culture which scores high, on the other hand, take a more pragmatic approach: they encourage thrift and efforts in modern education as a way to prepare for the future. Mongolia scores 36 in this dimension, marking it as a normative society. People in such societies have a strong concern with establishing the absolute Truth; they are normative in their thinking. They exhibit great respect for traditions, a relatively small propensity tosaveforthefuture, and a focus on achieving quick results. Figure VI. Score for long term orientation in Mongolia and select countries 6. Indulgence One challenge that confronts humanity, now and in the past, is the degree to which little children are socialized. Without socialization we do not become “human”. This dimension is defined as the extent to which people try to control their desires and impulses, based on the way they were raised. Relatively weak control is called “indulgence” and relatively strong control is called “restraint”. Cultures can, therefore, be described as indulgent or restrained. Mongolian high score of 59 marks it as an Indulgent society. People in societies classified by a high score in indulgence generally exhibit a willingness to realise their impulses and desires with regard to enjoying life and having fun. They possess a positive attitude and have a tendency towards optimism. In addition, they place a higher degree of importance on leisure time, act as they please and spend money as they wish.

DISCUSSION While this study is not unlike the original Hofstede work in terms of its sample heterogeneity, it is reasonable to conclude that the somewhat unique characteristics of the sample are not fully representative of the greaterMongolian population. This investigation was third attempt to determine the cultural values of Mongolia. Limitations of this study are similar to most other cross-cultural comparative studies. These results provide a third attempt to gain a general cultural assessment of the culture of Mongolia. Hofstede (2013) recommends using matched samples for country comparison, which means matching the sample with the demographics of the participants in his original study. Based upon our assessment, Mongolian culture can be characterized as being high in power distance, masculine, individualist, relatively low in uncertainty avoidance, and short-term orientated.
