Cross-Cultural Analysis is the sequel to CultureÆs Consequences, the classic work published by one of the most influential management thinkers in todayÆs times, Geert Hofstede. HofstedeÆs original work introduced a new research paradigm in cross-cultural analysis: studying cultural differences through nation-level dimensions (imaginary 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. This new text takes the next step: It critically examines in one comprehensive volume all current, prevalent methods that have been developed since HofstedeÆs work, offering students and researchers the theoretical and practical advantages and potential pitfalls of each approach.The book is structured into two distinct parts. Part I focuses on the main theoretical and statistical issues in cross-cultural analysis using HofstedeÆs method and the different research methods now associated with it. Part II will consist of presentations of all well-known (and some less known) large-scale cross-cultural studies, since Hofstede's, that have explained cross-cultural variation in terms of dimensional models. The presentations will explain how these models have contributed to our practical understanding of cross-cultural diversity. Key features of the work include:Coverage of all large-scale cross-cultural studies, including ones led by Hofstede; Schwartz; Bond; Noorderhaven; Smith, Dugan, &BAD:amp; Trompenaars; Levine; Kuppens; Schimmack; Schmidt; Project GLOBE; TIMSS; Lynn and Vanhanen; McCrae; Smith; Inglehart; Minkov The first comprehensive and statistically significant analysis of the predictive powers of each cross-cultural model, based on nation-level variables from a range of large-scale database sources such as the World Values Survey, the Pew Research Center, the World Bank, the World Health Organization, the UN Statistics Division, UNDP, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, TIMSS, OECD PISATables with scores for all culture-level dimensions in all major cross-cultural analyses (involving 20 countries or more) that have been published so far in academic journals or booksThe book will be an invaluable resource to masters and PhD students taking advanced courses in cross-cultural research and analysis in Management, Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology, and related programs. It will also be a must-have reference for academics studying cross-cultural dimensions and differences across the social and behavioral sciences.
