A 3D model and typology of organisational culture
Journal Title: Journal of Intercultural Management - Year 2013, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
The proposed model of organisational cultures I used in my research is basedon three dichotomous dimensions borrowed from G. Hofstede and other researchers.Although Hofstede proposed studying organisational cultures according to otherdimensions of values than in the case of cultures of whole societies, there are numerousauthors who think his model is more general and so apply it to organisational culturestoo. It seems that three out of five dimensions proposed by Hofstede can become a basisfor such a multidimensional model and typology. I am also in favour of this approach,as I believe that three of the dimensions included in Hofstede’s model are of a universalcharacter, whether they concern individuals, organisational cultures or social cultures.
