Monumental Book Well Worth the Read

2007年3月5日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

The father and son team of Geert and Geert Jan Hofstede have done a remarkable job breaking down the (measurable) elements of the world's cultures, usingt the somewhat antiquated IBM studies combined with more recent (less comprehensive) studies. The end result is that nations can be evaulauted on the basis of criteria such as "uncertainty avoidance," "individualism" and "power distance from superiors."

The work is enlightening and helpful to anyone who works internationally. It is also useful to break down one's own nation (for example, some Americans lean toward the British way of thinking while others are more German-like). The same criteria that divide nations also divide families within a society.

Businessmen, missionaries, pastors, counselors, journalists, and social scientists should devour these materials!

This should be required reading for anyone planning to live overseas or anyone who deals with internationals. In short, this book is relevant to our modern "shrinking" world and quite well done.

Like most significant works, this volume has its weak points.

Although the authors claim to espouse a "values neutral" position (which I have always argued is an impossible and illogical position), their Dutch/Swedish preferences ring out loudly and clearly (humanistic, environmnetalist, etc.). Although the authors do make a serious attempt to look at things from other perspectives, they simply cannot divorce themselves from their own cultural preferances. This is not bad -- they simply need to be above board and stop pretending to take the role of the neutral outsider (at least to better influence those of us who are American conservatives; we are big into distinguishing between fact and evaluation of fact; these evaluations are always done through a person's own personal gridwork).

The authors also have occasional trouble connecting a few dots. For example, on the bottom of p. 355, the Hofstedes are tactfully scolding the U.S. for its lack of foreign aid (again, showing their own bias), but on the top of p. 356 they add, "Looking back to half a century of development assistance, most observers agree that the effectiveness of much of the spending has been dismal." They then say those countries which did improve did so because of their cultural values, not foreign aid. But they seem incapable of concluding that good intentions (and even money) is not the most effective way to solve these problems. They just don't get it.

The same is true with contributions through governments to Tsunami relief. It should be expected that individualistic countries would be more prone to give as individuals, not as collective societies. Rather than look at total giving (or perecentage) OF A SOCIETY, they authors confuse a society with its government. Lots of missed "dot connections" in this work.

Despite the books weakspots, it is overwhelming strong and rich with fascinating content. It is a "mind opening" work -- well worth the read. You simply must read this one!

Objective & structured study of culture

2008年11月24日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

The greatest value that comes out of this book is the ability to articulate exactly what we mean by culture, what are its various dimensions, & how a culture is manifest at the macro or national level- while stressing every now & then to separate a national culture from the individual value system of its citizens.

The first seven chapters elucidate on the meaning of culture, its dimensions, & the comparative scores of various different countries in each of these dimensions - what these scores mean in terms of the family, school, workplace, the state, & ideas. This consistent structure gives the reader a very nuanced point of view on different cultures & the way they manifest. In the latter chapters, Hofstede also considers scores on two cultural dimensions & explains the combined effect of these as a whole.

Chapter 8 does a great job of differentiating Organizational cultures from National ones & clearly articulates that values do not differ across organizations in the same country; what differs are the practices these values translate into. The book did not have as extensive research on Organizational cultures, but manages to establish what is, or should be, understood by Organizational cultures. And it also has interesting notes on how some of these Organizational culture dimensions corelate with national culture dimensions.

The final two chapters are notes on implications of these differences & the elements of culture shock & how to go about handling these at the level of family, school, etc.

So while this was one of the great books I read this year, I still think that the title of book is misleading - for organizational cultures is not the mainstay of the book; national culture is.

But Hofstede's very organized & structured prose adds a great deal to a very intangible soft topic like culture. I think I understand the world a little more having read this book & can try to differentiate the broad national culture traits in the people I work with from their own individual value systems.

Great work, yet also limited

Hofstede's Culture and Organizations is a classic in cultural literature and is definitively worth reading. It contains numerous insights which are interesting yet also practical. A must read for anyone interested in national cultural differences.

The book consist of about 400 pages and is fairly dense in text. It consists of three different parts. The first part describes Hofstede's famous dimensions of national culture, the second discusses cultures in organizations and lasts the implications of all the earlier chapters.

In this book, Hofstede makes a lot of generalizations. I found it sometimes difficult to accept these and put my mind to "in general, statistically x is true" instead of "all people from population x are so and so." Especially when reading a book like this, it is important to keep in mind that generalizations are... exactly that. They are statistically true, but not per definition true.

Part 1 summarizes Hofstede's long research in cultural differences. His work started many years ago when he did cultural surveys in IBM and started to look at different cultural dimensions. He discovered four dimensions which he called: 1) power distance, 2) individualism/collectivism, 3) masculinity/femininity, 4) uncertainty avoidance. After a couple of years, working with a professor from the Hong Kong university, he discovered a fifth category which he called: long-term/short-term orientation. Each of these dimensions has its own chapter in which he shows the results of all countries on this particular dimension. After which he discusses how this influences the individual, family, organizations and state.

Part 1 was very insightful, yet at times the author seemed to be a victim of confusing causes and effects. At points he drew conclusions which were arguable. For example, he equated having a detached house with individualism, yet earlier he showed that individualism correlated with wealth. He leaves open whether wealth correlates to detached houses or individualism. Several times, the author jumped to conclusions where I felt he shouldn't yet. (perhaps part of his Dutch culture :P)

Part two discusses culture an organizations. The first chapter (chapter 7) argues that management theories are always limited to the culture of the creator. He makes a convincing case about this, yet I felt he went a little too far. When reading this, he seemed to argue that the management theories from one culture *never* apply to other cultures, where I'd expect a little more caution in the conclusions (similar comment as above). He especially seems to enjoy criticizing American management theories :) The second chapter in this part talks about organizational cultures. It looks at difference practice dimensions that can be identified in different organizational cultures.

Part three consist of two concluding chapters of which the first discusses intercultural encounters and culture shocks. I enjoyed how the clarifications of how different cultures encounter other cultured (ethnocentrism/xenophilia). The final chapter consist of suggestions to the world from the author. Suggestions on how to take culture into account at work, family, in the press, etc.

Cultures and Organizations is a very insightful work on cultural differences, yet I also found it limiting? Howcome? I noticed that the author especially focuses on differences in cultures in Europe and between Europe/US, yet rarely had good insight in Asian, Latin American, or African cultures. He does mention them every now and then, but still, almost all detailed examples and explanation are from Europe. Of course, this reflects the authors own experiences, but because of that (and because I've been living in Asia for many years) I felt his comments on Asian cultures was every now and then not subtle enough, which annoyed me.

Another point on which I disagreed with the author was the speed of cultural change. Hofstede is of opinion that culture does *not* change or that it takes a very very long time before it changes (relative to each other). I've lived in China for a couple years and frequently discussed cultural changes there, I think everyone will say that cultural *values* (not just practices) have changed a lot over the last 20 years. For example, on Hofstede's individualism/collectivism dimension, China was the top on collectivism. Based on my experiences, I wouldn't believe that anymore. Yes, this was true perhaps when he did the IBM survey, but not now. Similarly, Singapore scored lowest on uncertainty avoidance, which according to his explanation, shouldn't be as Singapore is the country with perhaps the most strict laws of all countries. My experience is that cultural values are changing, whereas Hofstede feels they are not (and they are perhaps even diverging more). Of course, only the future will tell us which is true, from a cultural perspective, Hofstede only surveyed a very small time-frame :)

All the comments aside, this book is definitively worth reading. I'd rate it 4.5 stars (due to some of the quick conclusions made) and decided to go for 4 Amazon stars. Definitively worth it though.

First step in culture studies

This book is definitely the first step towards culture studies. It gives a detailed overview of Hoffstede's differences with good examples. The last section says more about Organizational cultures.
There are many other authors for culture studies but according to me this is the first step.
