El trabajo de Hofstede mostró que hay agrupamientos culturales a nivel regional y nacional que afectan el comportamiento de las sociedades y organizaciones, y que son muy persistentes en el tiempo. Desarrolló el llamado Modelo de las Cinco Dimensiones para identificar los patrones culturales de cada grupo. Estas dimensiones son: la Distancia del poder, el Individualismo versus el Colectivismo, Masculinidad versus Feminidad, Control de la incertidumbre, y la Orientación a Corto Plazo versus Orientación a Largo Plazo.

“In most collectivist cultures, direct confrontation of another person is considered rude and undesirable. The word no is seldom used, because saying “no” is a confrontation; “you may be right” and “we will think about it” are examples of polite ways of turning down a request. In the same vein, the word yes should not necessarily be inferred as an approval, since it is used to maintain the line of communication: “yes, I heard you” is the meaning it has in Japan.”

“Cross-cultural studies presuppose a systems approach, by which I mean that any element of the total system called ``culture’’ should be eligible for analysis, regardless of the discipline that usually deals with such elements. At the level of (national) cultures, these are phenomena on all levels: individuals, groups, organizations, or society as a whole may be relevant. There is no excuse for overlooking any vital factor because it is usually treated in someone else’s department at the university.”
