It has been argued that culture effects how individuals implement, understand, live, and do business within a defined political, organizational, and ethnic environment. This essay presents a context for analyzing possible cultural shifts based on Hofstede and Hofstede's conception that a society's culture constituted in and presented in individuals' views and routines determines an identifiable cultural profile. In particular, Hofstede's indices on Power Distance, Uncertainty Avoidance, Masculinity and Individuality are applied to two populations--one a United States university population and the other from a Slovak Republic university. The overall purpose is to determine if Hofstede's orginal research findings are the same today in an era of the internet, globalization, and economic change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
