Description
The exercise is an attempt to examine aspects of cross- cultural framework as proposed by Hofstede and Trompenaars. Both the framework attempt to offer an understanding of culture across nations based on their proposed models. We would examine their work and would look at elements of similarity as well as aspects which are different. We will conclude with the section on why it is important for managers in global world to have a better understanding on managing cultural differences and the risk or reward for doing so.
