In a long-term-oriented environment, work and family are interrelated and are not
separated (Hofstede & Hofstede, 2005, pp. 208-209). In these cultures, extended
networks involving business and family are common. Long-term orientation is often associated with East Asian countries and is uniquely qualified for doing globalized
business (Hofstede & Hofstede, 2005, p. 211). Hofstede and Hofstede found an East
Asian trend toward deemphasizing respect for tradition and face because too much
emphasis on traditional practices and face saving can impede innovation and agility to
move with changing markets (2005, p. 219).
