Gerard Hendrik Hofstede is een invloedrijke Nederlandse auteur die de complexe wisselwerking tussen nationale en organisatorische culturen onderzoekt. Zijn baanbrekende werk onderzoekt hoe nationale en regionale culturele groeperingen het maatschappelijk en organisatorisch gedrag diepgaand beïnvloeden en hun opmerkelijke persistentie door de tijd heen aantonen. Hofstedes studie biedt diepgaande inzichten in hoe deze culturele verschillen onze sociale en professionele werelden vormgeven. Zijn benadering biedt lezers een sleutel tot het begrijpen van de complexe culturele dynamiek die zowel organisaties als hele gemeenschappen beïnvloedt.

Omgaan met cultuurverschillen - Geheel vernieuwde editie
Since its original hardcover publication in 1991, this influential work has garnered significant attention, selling over 100,000 copies globally and translated into 15 languages. Professor Geert Hofstede's extensive field research on cultural differences provides insights into how we think as members of groups. This revised edition incorporates the latest data from Hofstede's ongoing research, offering detailed comparisons of cross-cultural differences across 70 nations in various domains, including business, family, education, and politics. Hofstede addresses phenomena such as culture shock, ethnocentrism, and stereotyping, while highlighting the practical implications of understanding these cultural differences for more productive collaboration among diverse groups. He combines rigorous intellectual analysis with social, cultural, and organizational research to illustrate a world often lacking self-awareness of the significant differences among cultures, organizations, and nations, especially in the context of globalization. Hofstede argues that culture shock—whether experienced by individuals, organizations, or diplomats—can be advantageous if understood. This work elucidates the differences in thought processes between leaders and their followers, providing practical solutions for resolving conflicts in business and politics.
