Hofstede's original work introduced a new research paradigm in cross-cultural analysis: studying cultural differences through nation-level dimensions (complex variables defined by intercorrelated items). This paradigm has been subsequently used by hundreds of prominent scholars all over the world and has produced solid results. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new text takes the next step: It critically examines in one comprehensive volume the current, prevalent approaches to cross-cultural analysis at the level of nations that have been developed since Hofstede's work, offering students and researchers the theoretical and practical advantages and potential pitfalls of each method.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is structured into four distinct parts. Parts I and II focus on the main theoretical and statistical issues in cross-cultural analysis using Hofstede's approach and the different research methods now associated with it. Part II consists of presentations of all well-known (and some lesser known) large-scale cross-cultural studies since Hofstede's work that have explained cross-cultural variation in terms of dimensional models. Part III summarizes the main conclusions to be drawn from the presentations in Part II and l explains how the proposed models have contributed to our practical understanding of cross-cultural diversity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Minkov\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sage Publications, Inc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/06\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 6.90w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781412992299","brand":"Sage Publications, Inc","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44409742360691,"sku":"9781412992299","price":310.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_3ecc1157-1134-4b07-95fa-414bb4bd98b3.jpg?v=1771937611","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/cross-cultural-analysis-the-science-and-art-of-comparing-the-worlds-modern-societies-and-their-cultures-9781412992299","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
