Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Hofstede framework includes five dimensions of culture: power distance, individualism versus collectivism, masculinity versus femininity, uncertainty avoidance, and long-term versus short-term orientation. "Achievement versus nurturing" is not one of the dimensions. Therefore, A) is not the correct answer. "Individualism versus collectivism," "power distance," and "long-term versus short-term orientation" are all dimensions within the Hofstede framework. However, "public versus private orientation" is not a dimension within the framework. Therefore, C) is the correct answer.
