Colorado State University Global Campus Hofstede Cultural Dimensions Paper

The final project for this course requires that students critically evaluate how Hofstede’s cultural dimensions help explain a context. Choose any context. Examples include, but are not limited to:

• Business practices
• Healthcare
• Academia
• Environmentalism
• Politics

The project should:

1. Define Hofstede’s cultural dimensions based on at least four credible, scholarly sources.
2. Evaluate your scholarly sources, providing a brief comment on the theoretical aspects of each.
3. Discuss the development of the dimensions: how the dimensions originated and came to their current status.
4. Discuss the link(s) between the dimensions and your chosen context.
5. Discuss the implications of your case on individuals, society, and the public. How does an increased intercultural understanding affect these different groups?
