Cross-Cultural management

8 dimensions I have learnt in my course ''Cross-Cultural management''. These dimensions are always existing in all kind of organizations. As a international company or if a company has the intention to go abroad adapting is the most important aspect. Adapting to a new culture, these 8 dimensions helps managing departments to adapt to these new cultures. A few of them are famous because of the ''Hofstede's cultural dimensions''.
