摘要:Geert Hofstede’s work on national culture and its characteristic dimensions have been the subject to discussion anddebate since its inception in the late 1970’s. While his notion may not be all encompassing and methodologicallygeneralizable, it has been repeatedly revisited and discussed by scholars and academics throughout the world. Whyis this notion subject to so much discussion and debate when it has been so scrutinized and criticized? It is from thisperspective that this paper reexamines Hofstede’s cultural model focusing on inherent yet critical cultural subdeterminants and its culturally determined bounded rationality. A model is developed based on a culturally boundmoral program. Cultural bias is an important factor in a global networked economy and is proposed as aconsideration for managerial decision making. Empirical data from Mexico, Slovakia, and the USA demonstratechange within the national cultural aggregate over time.
