Improve Your Cross-Cultural Communication

This is a special note for all of you interested in cross-cultural communication or international business.

Have a look at this page on the Geert Hofstede website:

This gives you a long list of countries with the scores on Geert Hulshof’s cultural behavior scales:

  • Power Distance Index
  • Individualism
  • Masculinity
  • Uncertainty Avoidance Index
  • Long-Term Orientation

There is also a quick tool to compare cultural differences between two countries.

Are you an iPhone or iPod Touch user too?  Then have a look at this new download.

Yes, Christmas has come and gone.  But I might not be the only one with a birthday coming up.

This little tool is definitely something worth investigating a bit more.
