1. 'Individualism' and 'Uncertainty Avoidance' are the two dimensions proposed by Hofstede which are mentioned in the text as influential factors in international collaboration. The text gives the 'scores' of the UK, USA, Germany and Japan on these dimensions to illustrate the differences. Look up the scores of these same countries on the remaining cultural dimensions on www.geert-hofstede.com How could score differences on these other dimensions also influence collaboration between the four cultures mentioned? Give concrete examples, if possible. The text mentions that within the same organization wider cultural gaps can exist between, say, R&D and finance as between the R&D teams of two partners. To what extent can Hofstede's cultural dimensions be used to explain such cultural gaps?
