There are several typologies that attempt to categorize and compare cultures: 1) Edward Hall distinguished between high-context and low-context cultures, where high-context cultures communicate more implicitly and low-context cultures more explicitly. 2) Geert Hofstede studied IBM employees worldwide and identified five dimensions of national culture: power distance, uncertainty avoidance, individualism vs collectivism, masculinity vs femininity, and long-term orientation. 3) Florence Kluckhohn and Fred Strodtbeck proposed several orientations for analyzing cultures, such as human nature, relation to environment, social relationships, and time orientation.

Culture and values
The document discusses how culture is expressed through communication and how it has fragmented in modern society. It defines culture as the mental system of individuals and the content of interpersonal communication. Culture is expressed through control, interaction, and expression. However, fragmentation has divided society into various domains, regions, and groups. While traditional close-knit communities have collapsed, individuals are still connected through both real and virtual spaces in modern society.

Finally, it discusses how strong, well-socialized cultures can enhance performance and satisfaction if a common style is developed and reinforced.
Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions
Saudi Arabia scores highly on Geert Hofstede's cultural dimensions of power distance, collectivism, masculinity, and uncertainty avoidance. It has a culture with high inequality and acceptance of power structures. Loyalty to the group is valued over individual goals. Men dominate society and gender roles are clearly defined. Strict rules and laws are preferred to reduce uncertainty. Long-term orientation also suggests traditions are respected.

Subculture and counter culture
Organizations benefit from subcultures and countercultures in several ways:
1) They help maintain standards of performance and ethics by encouraging constructive debate and evaluation of the dominant culture.
2) They serve as incubators for new values aligned with changing customer and societal needs, allowing organizations to adapt more quickly.
3) Subcultures foster creativity and innovation by allowing ideas to develop independently yet still coordinate with the dominant culture for implementation.
Overall, an organization is more effective when it allows for diverse subcultures and countercultures rather than operating with a single, uniform culture.

Culture
This document defines culture and its key elements and characteristics according to several anthropologists. It states that culture is learned, social, shared, transmissive, continuous, cumulative, and changing. Culture is acquired as part of socialization and varies across societies. The core elements of culture discussed are traits, complexes, patterns, themes, configurations, and ethos. Traits are the smallest cultural units, while ethos represents the central philosophy or ideology of a culture.
Culture & Society
Culture can be defined as the sum of skills, beliefs, knowledge and products commonly shared and transmitted between generations in a group. It can be classified as static or dynamic based on its emphasis of cultural transmission or change, and as stable or unstable based on the satisfaction of folkways and mores or lack of clear content. Culture also serves important functions like communication, social cohesion, identity, education and human development. Society refers to a community that shares customs, laws and organizations within a region. While culture represents the meanings and information within social networks, society constitutes the system of relationships between people in a community.
Introduction to Cultural Diversity
Cultural diversity is the term used to describe many different cultures co-existing within one larger culture. The fact that we can eat so many different types of cuisine in the United States is because people from other countries have immigrated to the US and brought aspects of their own cultures with them. This means that under the umbrella of American culture there are actually many different ethnic traditions being practiced in communities around the country.
As an abstract concept, cultural diversity is actually pretty straightforward; however, finding a concrete definition of culture can be a little bit tricky. This is because the definition of culture can change depending on who's using it and the context in which it's being used. For example, some people use the term to describe the creative arts, like dancing or painting, while others use it in a much broader context to refer to all of the traditions, practices, and belief systems of a particular population of people. For the purposes of this lesson, we are going to look at culture as the latter of these two definitions.

Cultural Diversity
Cultural values form the core of cultures and can include factors like time orientation, family obligations, communication patterns, interpersonal relationships, gender, education, socioeconomic status, and religious beliefs. Cultural diversity is important for businesses and communities to not only survive but thrive, as all community members need to feel respected and utilized. A culturally diverse workplace can provide benefits like improved customer service, access to new markets, and innovative ideas from a range of viewpoints, while a lack of diversity can lead to tensions, low morale, and poorer service quality.
Culture
Culture refers to the shared beliefs, values, behaviors, and objects that represent a society's way of life.

Seven elements of culture
The document introduces the seven main elements of culture: social organization, customs and traditions, language, arts and literature, religion, forms of government, and economic systems. It provides examples for each element, such as how social organization establishes family as the basic unit and defines social classes, customs and traditions enforce rules of behavior, language is integral to sharing culture, and religion addresses life's meaning and values. Forms of government are defined as democracy, republic, and dictatorship, and economic systems include traditional, market, command, and mixed models.
Organizational. culture

National identity is a person's identity or sense of belonging to one state or to one nation (Ashmore et al., 2001), while the organizational identity is defined as a sets of defined as a set of statements that organization members perceive to be central, distinctive, and enduring to their organization. (Albert & Whetten, 1985) When we enter into an organization, we will encounter the culture in an organization which affected by a great mixture of individuals personalities and behaviors which are governed by codes of conduct, moral values, faith, ethnicity, etc. Inevitably, our own cultures, shaped by the behaviors, faith, values and cultures of our own nations, will have glitches with the diverse cultures within the organization. Meanwhile, as a member of the organization, our cultures will be molded and influenced by the daily contact with its members and the organization as a whole. Our subculture will derive from the diversity of the members of organization and
Before I studied in an American university, I was born and grown up in a culture which champion the collectivism. Compared with its counterparts, American university embraces individualism and gives more attention to minorities. For instance, educational resources and opportunities are more equitably distributed, and all students, including minorities and students with disabilities. As a foreign student, I could utilize various academic support resources to facilitate my study and I can feel the respect to my individual preference in the class and daily life. In China, we got used to adapting to the value and rules of the whole group, and we are seldom concerned about the individual value or habit. Individuals tend to find common values and goals as particularly salient �Schwartz, 1990). Under this ongoing impact on my value and behaviors, I empathize with those who holds different opinions and am more willing to take care of those minor groups.

A research from the discursive tradition define organizational identity as ‘an ongoing conversation or dance between [internal] organizational culture and [external] organizational images’ and present a model of it based on four interrelated processes (mirroring, reflecting, expressing, impressing). (Hatch and Schultz 2002, p. 991). National identity is a person's identity or sense of belonging to one state or to one nation. (Ashmore, Jussim and Wilder, 2001). It is represented by a distinct tradition, culture and language. Compared to national identity organizational identity is more unstable and changeable. Conversely, national identity is more enduring as is it obtained through a person’s education and influence from childhood.

3 culture and management
The document discusses several key aspects of culture:
- Culture has visible and hidden layers, with deeper levels like values and beliefs often masked by surface elements like rituals, heroes, and symbols.
- Hofstede's cultural dimensions model identifies how cultures vary along dimensions like power distance, individualism vs collectivism, masculinity vs femininity, uncertainty avoidance, long vs short-term orientation, and indulgence vs restraint.
- Understanding differences in how cultures relate to these dimensions can provide insight into cultural variations in areas like leadership, relationships, time perception, risk tolerance, and priorities.

This document discusses issues in cross-cultural communication and how culture impacts perception and communication. It outlines that culture governs both language/thought and behaviors/activities. Cultural differences present greater obstacles to communication than linguistic differences alone. Culture shapes perceptions in areas like individualism vs collectivism, roles, social hierarchies, values, and thought patterns. These cultural lenses can lead to misunderstandings between people from different cultures unless accounted for in cross-cultural interactions and communication. The document provides taxonomy of potential cultural barriers and differences that can obstruct cross-cultural understanding.
Shaping Interpretations of Reality
The document discusses several cultural value dimensions that shape perceptions of reality. It defines perception and how culture influences it. Beliefs form the basis of values, which then inform attitudes and behaviors. The dominant U.S. cultural patterns discussed are individualism, equal opportunity, science/technology, work/play identity, and competitive nature. Hofstede's cultural value dimensions of individualism/collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, power distance, and masculinity/femininity are also summarized. Finally, the concepts of high-context vs low-context communication and the importance of "face" in collectivist cultures are briefly covered.

- Filipino cultural values are influenced by childhood teachings, peer groups during youth, and internalization during adulthood. The pamantayan system model helps explain Filipino behavior.
- Society and education influence each other. Formal schooling transmits culture but must also adapt to societal changes. Social groups like families, communities, and class divisions structure society.
- Social stratification by

The document discusses various frameworks for analyzing and classifying culture, including:
1) Hofstede's dimensions of cultural values which includes individualism/collectivism, power distance, uncertainty avoidance, and masculinity/femininity.
2) Kluckhohn and Strodtbeck's framework which analyzes variations in values orientations around concepts like time, human nature, and relationships.
3) Trompenaars' seven dimensions of culture which examines universalism vs particularism, individualism vs communitarianism, and achievement vs ascription.
4) The frameworks provide tools for understanding differences in cultural values but also have limitations as cultures are complex and constantly changing.
Review of Comparative Cultural Studies
Three key comparative studies in cross-cultural management and psychology are summarized. Hofstede proposed five cultural dimensions: power distance, individualism, masculinity, uncertainty avoidance, and long-term orientation. Schwartz identified seven value types. Trompenaars proposed seven cultural dimensions including universalism vs. pluralism and individualism vs. communitarianism. The theories are influential but have limitations such as overgeneralizing cultures and using limited samples. They provide a framework for understanding intercultural sensitivity and assessing its role in leadership across cultures.
