Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

One major limitation is that Hofstede ignored cultural differences within society, assuming a unitary culture in each country he studied. As discussed earlier, complex entities rarely have a unitary culture but rather several subcultures, and Australian, Asian and New Zealand societies (for example) contain multiple subcultures. Nevertheless, Hofstede's research and writings drew the attention of organisational behaviour scholars to the importance of considering societal cultural values when examining the cultures of organisations.
