This document discusses culture and the factors that cause cultural shifts. It defines culture and discusses how culture is shaped by technologies, markets, and leadership preferences. Cultural shifts can occur in response to changes in the business environment or be influenced by individual experiences spending time in different cultures. Managing a global workforce with cultural diversity requires tailoring human resource practices to account for differences in languages, economic conditions, and values between countries. Cultural shifts tend to be slow as values are deeply ingrained from childhood, but notable rapid shifts have occasionally occurred in response to significant economic or technological changes.

Cultural Differences Hofstede
Here\'s a very basic presentation about cultural differences, based on the research of Geert Hofstede. Enjoy!
IHRM
International staffing presents many challenges for multinational companies. It is important to give special attention to staffing practices in overseas units due to geographic distance from headquarters. There are several options for staffing foreign operations, including using parent country nationals, host country nationals, or third country nationals. An effective staffing strategy must consider costs, cultural issues, goals and policies to ensure success in foreign markets.
Hofstede model
The Hofstede model of culture identifies six dimensions that can be used to analyze and compare cultures - power distance, individualism, masculinity, uncertainty avoidance, long-term orientation, and indulgence. The model was developed by Geert Hofstede based on factor analyses of survey data collected from IBM employees in over 50 countries from 1967 to 1973. It has since been expanded and validated through subsequent research studies involving samples from various occupations across many countries.

Hofstede And Trompenaars Compared
The document compares the cultural value models of Hofstede and Trompenaars & Hampden-Turner. It finds that two of Trompenaars' seven dimensions closely match two of Hofstede's - individualism/collectivism and power distance. However, some of Trompenaars' other dimensions seem to focus more on effects of underlying values rather than the values themselves. The models show broad consistency in how they classify countries, but some differences that may be due to using data from different time periods, indicating cultures can change over time.
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. The document analyzes Saudi Arabian culture using Hofstede's framework and compares it to other countries.
Hofstede model
- Geert Hofstede developed a model of cultural dimensions based on research and interviews with employees of the same multinational corporation in over 40 countries.
- The model identifies five cultural dimensions that can be used to distinguish one culture from another: power distance, individualism vs collectivism, masculinity vs femininity, uncertainty avoidance, and long-term vs short-term orientation.
- Each dimension is scored on a scale, and the scores provide insights into workplace values and communication styles across cultures that can help understand and navigate cultural differences more effectively.

Impact of LG Expatriate Managers_Facilitated Workshop Presentaion
LG Electronics hired several expatriate managers from Western countries like Ireland and Switzerland to help globalize its operations and bring new skills and perspectives. However, the experiment failed after 3 years as the expatriate managers struggled to integrate into LG's strong Korean culture and Confucian values. Their approaches did not materialize the expected revenue surge. LG's culture emphasizes collective harmony, respect for authority, and relationship-building over individual goals, making it difficult for outsiders to operate effectively. The failure demonstrates the importance of cultural fit and developing global competencies when utilizing expatriate managers.
Cross Cultural Management.ppt.pdf

Theories discussed include Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Edward Hall's concepts of time management and communication context, Geert Hofstede's cultural dimensions model and pyramid of mental programming, Philippe d'Iribarne's concept of different cultural logics, Fons Trompenaar's seven dimensions of culture and five organizational configurations, and Henry Mintzberg's six organizational configurations. Diagrams and examples are provided to illustrate key aspects of each theory.
Week 2
This document discusses cross-cultural communication and managing it successfully. It begins by looking at how social media is impacting global business communication. It then examines the cultural variables that can cause "noise" in the communication process for both senders and receivers from different cultures. These include attitudes, social organization, thought patterns, roles, language, and nonverbal communication cues. The document also explores how communication styles differ between high and low context cultures. It notes that information technology is impacting cross-border communication but that a global online strategy must also be localized. The document concludes by stating that to manage cross-cultural communication successfully, managers must develop cultural sensitivity, communicate with care, and establish trust across cultures.
Managing a diverse team effectively
This document discusses challenges that leaders may face when managing culturally diverse teams and provides strategies for effective leadership. It summarizes research comparing leadership approaches and values in Anglo, Chinese, and Arab cultures. Key differences are noted, such as a preference for debate in Anglo cultures versus emphasis on relationships and cohesion in China. When leading multicultural teams, the document recommends establishing a shared identity, allowing more time for trust-building, developing cultural intelligence, and expecting coordination failures given differences in perspectives. The overall message is that diverse teams require flexible, self-aware leadership that is open to feedback.
Globalization and-its-impact-on-organization

1. The document discusses criticisms of Hofstede's model for analyzing cultural dimensions. While Hofstede's work in the 1980s was groundbreaking, some scholars argue it has limitations.
2. Major criticisms include that Hofstede's research was based on data from only one company, used few dimensions that may not fully capture culture, and the cultural assessments may not apply equally across all groups within a nation.
3. The document also reviews alternative approaches and dimensions proposed by other researchers to analyze national culture, as Hofstede's work is seen as too simplistic by some or outdated given changing globalization trends over time.

National differences
Here is an example of what a long-term oriented manager should do when doing business in a short-term oriented country:
- Take a patient approach and focus on building strong long-lasting relationships rather than just completing short-term deals. Invest time in getting to know local partners and stakeholders on a personal level.
- Explain business plans and strategies with a long-term vision in mind, showing how investments made today can generate returns over many years rather than just quarters. Provide concrete multi-year projections.
- Be willing to sacrifice some short-term profits or goals if needed to establish trust and maintain relationships for the long run. Prioritize sustainability over quick wins.
- Respect local traditions but also suggest gradual

This document discusses applying Hermann Witkin's theories on cognitive styles and field dependence/independence to studying global managers and OD practitioners. Witkin found some people have a more field dependent cognitive style, where their perceptions are more influenced by surrounding context, while others are more field independent. Recent research shows Eastern cultures tend toward a more field dependent/holistic style while Western cultures favor a field independent/analytic style. The document argues global managers and OD experts require abilities to manage perceptual-cognitive complexity and proposes developing an "Integrated Perceptual-Cognitive Ability" to allow them to effectively function across cultures.
The power of culture in transformation
Perry Riggs presented on the power of organizational culture in transformation. He discussed two premises: that culture eats strategy, and that culture can be changed in a managed way. Riggs explored definitions of culture and different approaches to cultural change, including focusing on individuals, teams, and the entire enterprise. He highlighted that cultural transformation is a "wicked problem" that requires engaging the organization through dialogue to find solutions.

The red ad campaign for The Economist magazine from 1984 was highly successful. It used semiotics, linguistics, and narrative techniques to convey the message that if you don't read The Economist, you may end up as a 42-year-old management trainee. The ad portrayed this message through its visual design, text, and implication that reading the magazine would help one advance their career. The long-running campaign was effective at positioning The Economist as a brand that readers wanted to be associated with. It established the magazine as part of one's professional identity and lifestyle.

years in a row, the Labrador Retriever has dropped to second place
in the American Kennel Club's annual survey of the country's most
popular canines. The French Bulldog is the new top dog in the
United States as of 2022. The stylish puppy has ascended the
rankings in rapid time despite having health concerns and limited
color choices.”

Editor's Notes
- From Wikipedia: “ The object of the game is to control a larger portion of the board than the opponent. A stone or a group of stones is captured and removed if it has no empty adjacent intersections, the result of being completely surrounded by stones of the opposing color. Placing stones close together helps them support each other and avoid capture. On the other hand, placing stones far apart creates influence across more of the board. Part of the strategic difficulty of the game stems from finding a balance between such conflicting interests. Players strive to serve both defensive and offensive purposes and choose between tactical urgency and strategic plans.”
