Title | From cultural values to cross-cultural interfaces: Hofstede goes to Africa |
Authors | Jackson, T. |
Abstract | Purpose: Hofstede’s theory may be problematic from both a methodological/theoretical, and practical view when applied to the 80 percent of the Globe we term Developing. It is necessary to break out of an epistemic paradigm and a ‘view from nowhere’ in order to focus on multiple layers of cultural interfaces within power dynamics that influence the nature of hybrid organizations and individual cultural identity. |
