Comparing Values, Behaviors, Institutions and Organizations Across Nations

Second Edition

Geert Hofstede Institute for Research on Intercultural Co-Operation

The Second Edition of a true classic is thoroughly updated with an expanded coverage and scope. It explores the differences in thinking and social action that exist between members of more than 50 modern nations and is the new benchmark for scholars and professionals for years to come. It argues that people carry ‘mental programmes’ which are developed in the family in early childhood and reinforced in school and organizations, and that these mental programmes contain a component of national culture. They are most clearly expressed in the different values that predominate among people from different countries.
