About the Model
The Seven Dimensions of Culture were identified by management consultants Fons Trompenaars and Charles
You can use the model to understand people from different cultural backgrounds better, so that you can prevent
misunderstandings and enjoy a better working relationship with them. This is especially useful if you do business
with people from around the world, or if you manage a diverse group of people. The model also highlights that one
culture is not necessarily better or worse than another; people from different cultural backgrounds simply make
different choices. However, the model doesn't tell you how to measure people's preferences on each dimension.
Therefore, it's best to use it as a general guide when dealing with people from different cultures.
