BMIS-Nov-2024-L1-Q3b-Hofstede’s Dimensions of Organisational Culture

Explains Hofstede's cultural dimensions and what a 51% blockchain attack entails.


Culture is a set of dominant beliefs, attitudes, values, and norms that is shared by a number of people. It is the collective programming of the mind that distinguishes the members of one group from members of another group. Likewise, the culture of a business organisation in one country will differ from the culture of organisations in a different country. Multinational companies face the challenge of trying to create a common original culture for an organisation that operates across national boundaries.
Hofstede developed a cultural dimension theory used to understand differences in culture across countries and the ways that business is done across different cultures.
Required:
According to Hofstede, explain FOUR dimensions to differences in organisational culture arising from differences in national culture.
