practices. The project team comprised 172 researchers who gathered data from 17,300
respondents in 951 organizations across 62 societies. Following works of Hofstede
(1980, 1991), Kluckhohn and Strodtbeck (1961), and McClelland (1985), among others,
this project conceptualized nine dimensions of culture, shown in Table 2.2. The
table uses definitions of these dimensions presented by Javidan et al. (2004).
