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\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1412992281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781412992282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sage Publications, Inc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/06\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.10w x 1.20d","brand":"Michael Minkov","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44123468792063,"sku":"9781412992282","price":218.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d0ffdc53-3195-43bc-80e5-0807a56ef50e.jpg?v=1687431064","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cross-cultural-analysis-michael-minkov-9781412992282","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
