Description
Hofstede, Pedersen & Hofstede, Exploring culture
*Exploring Culture* brings Geert Hofstede’s five dimensions of national culture to life in an engaging way. Gert Jan Hofstede, along with co-authors Paul Pedersen and Geert Hofstede, introduces synthetic cultures—ten “pure” cultural types based on the extremes of these five dimensions. The result is a practical, yet theory-based, book.
Blending light-hearted and serious elements, this unique book guides readers through a three-part training process: building awareness, gaining knowledge, and developing skills. With over 75 activities, dialogues, stories, and scenarios, it covers the first two steps, while the Synthetic Culture Laboratory and two full simulations focus on skill-building.
