the hofstede framework compares cultures along five dimension. Dutch psychologist geert hofstede developed the framework from a study of more than 110,000 people working in IBM subsidiaries (www.ibm.com) in 40 countries and from a follow- up study of students in 23 countries .

on the contrary , people in collectivist culture (those scoring low on this dimension) feel a strong association to groups, including family and work units. the goal of maintaining group harmony is probably most evident in family structure .people in collectivist
