Summary:

The landmark study of cultural differences across 70 nations, "Cultures and Organizations" helps readers look at how they think--and how they fail to think--as members of groups. Based on decades of painstaking field research, this new edition features the latest scientific results published in Geert Hofstede's scholarly work "Culture's Consequences, Second Edition." Original in thought and profoundly important, Cultures and Organizations offers vital knowledge and insight on issues that will shape the future of cultures and nations in a globalized world.
