derived two of the mast popular models of culture. These models serve the purpose of describing a person's cultural context,usually in terms of communication and social relationships. Hofstede and Hall describe "culture" along several dimensions, which, in turn, constitute their models. Hofstede's approach originated from surveys with IBM employees around the world; Hall's work resultes from his international communication training experience and cultural anthropological research. While these culture models provide a good foundation for studying differences between groups, their inherent biases should be acknowledged. Both models have been developed in Western cultures and exhibit the biases of these cultures, except for one of Hofstede's dimensions described below.
