Question 5:
Globalization has increased the need for leaders to become competent in
cross-cultural awareness and practice. Hofstede’s (1980, 2001) work has been

leadership, the “GLOBE Study of 62 Societies” (House et al, 2004) offers the
strongest body of findings to date. Based on their research and the work of
others the authors identify nine cultural dimensions that increase our understanding
of cross-cultural interactions and the impact of culture on leadership
effectiveness.

to Hofstede’s dimensions, two of them are identical. Which ones?
