Chapter Chapter 12 in Creativity, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship Across Cultures, 2016, pp 147-153 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The issue of what cultural aspects impact entrepreneurial behavior is examined empirically most often on the basis of Hofstede’s (Culture’s Consequences: International Differences in Work-Related Values, 1980) model. Hofstede’s research is useful to understand behaviors and attitudes at work, such as leadership, motivation, or the behavior and relationships between members and how these factors affect the level of entrepreneurship in any given society. Hofstede’s model of cultural dimensions serves as the basis for theoretical and empirical research over the past 30 years on how national culture influences business and management. This chapter is a description of Hofstede’s canonical four cultural dimensions represented in his model and their relationships with entrepreneurship.
