Fons Trompenaars and Charles Hampden-Turner built upon Geert Hofstede's initial model of 5 dimensions of culture but came up with 7 slightly different ones.
Different in that reconciliation is possible. There is no longer black and white only. The presentation above compares Fons Trompenaars dimensions to the initial 5 cultural dimensions:
- Individualism/ Collectivism: Individualistic or selfish?
- Time Orientation: On time?
- Masculinity/ Femininity: Distinction between male and female?
- Uncertainty Avoidance: Minimizing uncertainty?
- Power Distance: Different levels of power?
