Title: Valuable? - Perhaps for somebody who has never had a real eye for other cultures
Review: Hofstede's work was and is not really helpful; perhaps fascinating for those who deal with the issues from the comfortable space of their warm home of office in a western country.For all who want to get a fundamental insight to understanding espec. Asian behavior and cultural differences, I highly recommend to start with: "The Geography of Thought : How Asians and Westerners Think Differently...and Why -- by Richard Nisbett".That's the stuff that will bring you where Hofstede could never dream to be.
Is the review positive or negative?
