Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2009 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Miscellaneous, grade: 1,2, Free University of Berlin (Center for Global Politics), course: Intercultural Communication, language: English, abstract: Between 1967 and 1973 the Dutch sociologist Geert Hofstede carried out a study based on a questionnaire with the aim of showing how culture influences values in the workplace, and how to differentiate cultures in general. Therefore, he defined 5 dimensions of major importance (Hofstede 2003). Subsequently, I will outline my opinion with regard to the scores of my native country Germany. I will relate these results alternately to the scores of two other countries/regions I know, namely Colombia and Lebanon (i.e. the Arab World). I am going to illustrate some examples; however, the listing won't be final.
