A Review of Hofstede
PDI - Power distance is defined as the extent to which the less powerful members of institutions and organizations within a country expect and accept that power is distributed unequally. IDV - The fundamental issue addressed by this dimension is the degree of interdependence a society maintains among its members. MAS - The fundamental issue here is what motivates people, wanting to be the best (masculine) or liking what you do (feminine). UAI - The extent to which the members of a culture feel threatened by ambiguous or unknown situations and have created beliefs and institutions that try to avoid these. LTO - The extent to which a society shows a pragmatic futureoriented perspective rather than a conventional historical shortterm point of view.
