Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hofstede's fifth cultural dimension, long-term versus short-term orientation, indeed evolved from his work on Asian societies, particularly from a study conducted in collaboration with Michael Bond, which led to the identification of the Confucian dynamism. This dimension distinguishes between cultures that are more forward-looking and value perseverance and thrift (long-term orientation) and those that are more concerned with maintaining traditional values and norms, and focusing on the present or past (short-term orientation). Thus, both statements A and B accurately describe this dimension.
