HOFSTEDE

This is the international bestseller on managing cross-cultural workforces - expanded and updated! Named one of the top 20 most influential business thinkers of 2008 by "The Wall Street Journal", business anthropologist Geert Hofstede has fully updated his classic work on how the place where we grew up shapes the way we think, feel, and act.
