Expert Solution
Step 1

The cultural dimensions theory of Hofstede provides a framework for examining and contrasting cultural variations between nations. It identifies six dimensions that describe cultural differences: power distance, individualism vs. collectivism, masculinity vs. femininity, uncertainty avoidance, long-term vs. short-term orientation, and indulgence vs. restraint. These factors offer a thorough grasp of cultural variations and how they affect organizational communication, management techniques, and working habits.
