[edit]

This page, in parts, reads like promotional material for Hofstede and his model. JohnWilliams (talk) 佛挡杀佛 发但是飞洒发大师傅的说法是范德萨发放 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.244.45.162 (talk) 10:57, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Copied from somewhere

[edit]

There is some good content here. However it doesn't feel as if it's written in a Wikipedia style. It would be nice if this article were integrated into other parts of Wikipedia. 24.187.17.51 (talk) 11:00, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hofstede's theory is actually one of the major sources of theory in cross-cultural psychology, and I'm surprised it's found under the sociology wikiproject and not psychology. I've linked to it from the cross-cultural psychology article. Yes, the article does go on a bit, and is very, very enthusiastic, but the topic definitely deserves its own article. In the near future perhaps I'll do a rewrite on it and tighten it up a little. I was expecting to have to write one myself anyway.Shandong44 (talk) 01:49, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, rereading it I see that it doesn't need rewriting so much as some good solid editing. The content is basically OK, just needs condensing a bit. Shandong44 (talk) 01:58, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Reception" - GCHQ, NSA

[edit]

Here, it is reported (in German) that the GCHQ and the NSA do targeted interventions in the Internet in the public opinion formation, in activities, information and environment of individual people/individual groups and in processes in companies. There are leaked film documents in the article, by GCHQ as classified secret and with the United States together used (identifiable by the note "REL[ation] TO USA"). These films graphically structure the strategies/tactics for the interventions, also the aspects and factors, which have to be heeded on principle for the strategies/tactics (especially slides 6, 7, 8, & 10; comprehensive and in English here). On these, it dives on several times the term "Hofstede Dimensions" (slides 7 & 8) and in the article is written, among other things: "In addition, the British [agency] uses insights of the social sciences to influence debates on the Internet and bring about a desired outcome/ending." I am of English not very powerful, but if someone feels obliged to make the effort to research a little bit to integrate something of WP-compliant source-based concrete into this WP-article, he would certainly find something here (there, take a look at the links (too)). --88.69.235.214 (talk) 01:38, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The 7th dimension

[edit]

Hofstede has added a 7th dimension, based upon the works of prof. Michael Minkov: Monumentalism vs. Self-Effacement/Flexhumility. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.127.58.149 (talk) 16:30, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Plagairism

[edit]

I understand this may have been produced by (or for) a class, but chunks of this are copied off of other websites without attribution. Even students should understand that this is plagairism, pure and simple. Evilpassion (talk) 10:50, 22 October 2015 (UTC)Evilpassion[reply]

User:Evilpassion Trust me, many students don't understand what plagiarism is. Sigh. Thank you for reporting this, but you should do it at Wikipedia:Copyright problems. I'll however ping User:Moonriddengirl, who is the appropriate admin-goddess for that department :P --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:26, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
User:Evilpassion, can you identify any of the sources you found? It simplifies investigation completely. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:31, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Here's one of them: http://central.gutenberg.org/article/WHEBN0031427871/Hofstede Of course the question becomes which comes first, chicken or egg....but I'm betting Hofstede wrote the stuff before the student(s) did. The main problem is that for some of this stuff I can find 30 copies all attributed to different authors. If I posted this wrong I'm sorry, I only can pop in occasionally — Preceding unsigned comment added by Evilpassion (talk • contribs) 02:58, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

central.gutenberg.org is known Wikipedia mirror; they copy content from here and attempt to obfuscate the origin through the "world heritage encyclopedia" claim. Note that the "citational source" link always points back here. Kuru (talk) 14:51, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory → cultural dimensions theory – While the theory is often "Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory", isn't it a bit like arguing for theory of relativity to be moved to Einstein's theory of relativity? Looking at Google Books ([1]) we can see many uses in which the theory is just called "cultural dimensions theory". I am therefore proposing to move it to this simpler name variant.

VSM

[edit]

VSM or Values Survey Module is the name of the tool used to generate profiles. This acronym features prominently on GH's own Web pages (e.g., http://geerthofstede.nl/research--vsm) and should at least be mentioned in our article. Kdammers (talk) 16:56, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Will wikipedia accept the following link: Hofstede Insights? תיל"ם (talk) 13:56, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@תיל"ם: Highly unlikely as it's a business page but possible, depending on what you're citing from the page. You'd be far better off finding an academic source. Check out the [Reliable Sources] page for detailed information on what is and isn't acceptable. 𝄞: JohnnyB𝄬 𝅘𝅥𝅮 Sing with me𝅘𝅥𝅮 06:11, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
