How are the characteristics of individualism-collectivism manifested in organizations that exhibit scalability?
| Resumo: | The study uses one individual and one group-analyzed dimension of Hofstede’s model to investigate how they affect an organization's capacity for successful development. Qualitative data was collected through interviews with 35 firms to assess various cultural dimensions within those firms. The results indicate that top-level employees believe mostly in mixed approaches and not a strictly black-or-white way of thinking. The selection of the Hofstede framework disregards other cultural frameworks, which may ultimately provide valuable findings in future studies. This study is the first qualitative assessment that investigates specific cultural characteristics while exhibiting scalability, adding important information to organizational culture approaches. |
