Hi everyone, Please post here about the cultural intelligence video.

ReplyDelete- 7 dimensions doesn't include femininity / masculinity
- 7 dimensions focuses more on individuals and small groups, while Hofstede's considers the whole population
- Hofstede's model is more complex and specific

ReplyDeleteSimilar to Hosfstede:
Universalism vs particularlism is a bit similar to uncertainty avoidance.
Individualism vs communitarianism is similar to individualism vs collectivism.
Neutral vs emotional is a bit similar to indulgence vs restraint, but Neutral vs emotional is more specific.
Achievement vs ascription has similarities to power distance.
Sequential vs synchronous time is similar to mono- and polychronic, but there are no similarities to Hosfstede.
New:
Internal vs outer direction
Specific vs diffuse

ReplyDeleteSimilarities:
Universalism Versus Particularism + Individualism vs Collectivism
Neutral Versus Emotional + Masculinity and Femininity
Differences:
Power distance is not represented in the “The Seven Dimensions of Culture”-Model.
The concepts are similar but take on slightly different viewpoints. The “The Seven Dimensions of Culture” is more focussed on the individuum whilst the “Hofstede's 6-D model” also takes on aspects from the outside.
In general the two models are very similiar because they describe both the characteristics of a society. There are always two extremes which are depending on relative scores of different nations/societies.
ReplyDeleteFor example Individualism vs Communitarianism and Individualism vs Collectivism are compareable.
The 5 dimensions of Hofstede do not focus on the people`s emotions compared to the 7 dimensions of Culture.
Hofstede’s dimension of uncertainty avoidance can be found in the seventh dimension, as to how people relate to their environment.

ReplyDelete1. Universalism Versus Particularism: is implied in Hofstede model, but not specified and therefore adds a dimension and considers relationships
2. Individualism Versus Communitarianism: same in Hofstede model
3. Specific Versus Diffuse: is new
4. Neutral Versus Emotional: implied a little in Masculinity, better explained in this model
5. Achievement Versus Ascription: new
6. Sequential Time Versus Synchronous Time: new
7. Internal Direction Versus Outer Direction: new
This model focuses more on identity, interpersonal relationships, daily interactions and is more specific. The Hofstede model focuses more on the culture as a whole, the seven dimensions model focuses more on an individual and their perspective in a certain culture.
