Abstract:
One of the most fundamental studies on culture in recent years is Dutch scientist Geert Hofstede’s study of the cultural dimension. This study shows what Hofstede's cultural dimensions; individualism-collectivism, power distance, masculinity-femininity, uncertainty avoidance and the countries’ compliance with those dimensions. Additionally, attempts have been made to clarify through qualitative observations which dimensions Azerbaijani culture corresponds in Hofstede criterion.

Abstract:
Gray (Gray, 1988) proposed a link between Geert Hofstedes (Hofstede, 1980) popular national culture dimensions used in comparative management analysis and his own comparative concepts for accounting. In the past twenty-four years, Grays work has been cited by over 650 scholars. His article presented a hypothetical set of complex correspondences between Hofstedes original four dimensions of Power-distance, Individualism, Masculinity, and Uncertainty Avoidance and Grays accounting values of Professionalism versus Statutory control, Uniformity versus Flexibility, Conservatism versus Optimism, and Secrecy versus Transparency. Grays accounting dimensions were intended to capture underlying cultural values that would tend, in the absence of external influences or other factors, to influence a culture toward the development of certain types of accounting systems. The purpose of this paper is to identify which Gray values and which corresponding Hofstede cultural dimensions would be most supportive of the establishment of accounting standards like the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), currently being adopted by nations throughout the world. A specific set or profile of Gray values most conducive to IFRS is identified and termed the IFRS-favorable profile. In arriving at this profile, the paper also addresses two newer Hofstede cultural dimensions, long-term orientation and Restraint versus Indulgence, and extends Grays model by proposing how these two new Hofstede dimensions correspond to Grays four accounting dimensions. The IFRS-favorable profile and the expansion of Grays link to Hofstede are discussed as practical applications to facilitate successful IFRS implementation in individual countries.

Abstract:
The culturally derived accounting orientations of four major emerging economies, Brazil, Russia, India and China, the BRIC countries, are examined based on the Geert Hofstede work on cultural dimensions (Hofstede, 1980) and the hypothetical derivation of related accounting values by S. J. Gray. (Gray, 1988) Results on Hofstedes four original cultural dimensions are analyzed and compared. An analysis of results for Grays derived accounting values is presented for these countries. An IFRS favorable profile based on Grays accounting value dimensions is developed and BRIC and G7 results on these dimensions are compared. Strategies to adjust for country cultural profiles at variance with the IFRS profile are proposed.

Abstract:
This paper explores the role that culture plays in the classroom setting through Hofstedes Cultural Dimensions. Hofstede categorizes four dimensions of cultural differences, but this paper will focus on power distance, which Hofstede describes as the phenomenon in which less powerful members of a society accept inequality in power as a societal norm. The effect power distance has on student-teacher interactions in a Collectivist society, such as Korea, among South Korean University students and an EFL teacher from an Individualistic culture will be discussed.

Abstract:
This research was designed to investigate whether organizational stress had an intermediary role in the effect of Hofstede cultural dimensions on time management. Near East University from Cyprus, which represents the individual culture, and Hakkari University from Turkey representing the collectivist culture were selected for the research analyses. In all, 638 administrative and academic members from both universities were interviewed face-to-face on a voluntary basis, and data were collected by the simple random sampling method. The research findings suggest that time should be managed after identifying the type of culture—individualistic or collectivist—to decrease the level of stress experienced by university staff. In other words, Hofstede’s cultural dimension has an impact on time management, and organizational stress has a partial mediation effect on this dimension. Although the variables in the study have been studied in the literature together with many different factors, Hofstede is significant in terms of determining the role of organizational stress in the effect of cultural dimensions on time management. The effectiveness of Hofstede’s cultural dimensions through organizational stress in time management allows business and project plans to be carried out in a way that manages individual, team or departmental performances taking into account the organizational stress elements. It is considered that this study will particularly be effective in medicine, project management, and independent auditing.

Abstract:
International cooperation is impossible without intercultural competencies of employees and their readiness to work in multicultural teams. Therefore, engineering students should be aware of cultural differences between nations, understand their cultural dimensions criteria, and be capable to find contact with people from other cultures. The paper used G. Hofstede survey methods to evaluate the levels of cultural dimensions of Master’s degree engineering students in a Russian university. The data obtained were compared to the Cultural Compass online databank. The majority of cultural dimensions parameters matched the figures from the online databank, while two dimensions, namely, “power distance” and “uncertainty avoidance” gave different results. The survey and its results were later discussed with the students. The discussions showed that the students were open for a dialog, and interested in improving their intercultural competencies. The investigation results showed that by engaging engineering students into discussing cultural diversity and unity issues we can provide a higher efficiency team work of the local and international students. This experience has a positive impact on the competitiveness of the future graduates. Further research will enlarge the number of students participating in cultural surveys.

AbstractOver the past three decades, after Hofstede presented his proposal about cultural differences, many authors have presented their dimensions of national culture. The aim of this article is to give a synthesis of the proposal from significant authors and show a set of models of cultural dimensions based on theoretical and pragmatic analysis such as models of Hofstede, Trompenaars, GLOBE, Inglehart, Schartz. Also, examples used in this paper help more to understand the importance of research national culture.

<p>ABSTRACT<br />This research is entitled Simplification of Hit Ritual and Hofstede Cultural Dimensions in Sumo Version of Forte Ads. This study aims to understand the Harai Rituals in simplified Sumo rituals and Hofstede's cultural dimensions in FORTE cigarette product advertisements. The FORTE cigarette product is relatively new in the Indonesian market. This cigarette product originating from a Japanese company was launched by a local Indonesian company, PT Djarum. But in the advertisement, the product featured Sumo wrestlers who were squeezed by a frame which later revealed mighty tiny writing as the main FORTE cigarette slogan. In the discussion, it will be explained how Hofstede's dimensions of cultural cross are presented through the overall appearance of Forte's cigarette advertisements and products. The researcher concluded that the audio-visual work of Forte cigarette products in the form of advertisements was a simplification of the ritual of the Sumo sport for the purpose of product promotion and the duration of the ad itself. The Japanese cultural identity that appears in FORTE's cigarette advertisements through Sumo sports has the complexity of historical cultural dimensions which are full of meaning and philosophy.</p><p><strong>Keywords; Simplification, Harai, ritual, cultural, Hofstede, Forte.</strong></p><p><strong></strong>ABSTRAK<br />Penelitian ini berjudul Simplifikasi Ritual Harai dan Dimensi Kultural Hofstede dalam Iklan Forte Versi Sumo.

Abstract:
Jordan, as an Arab country located in the Middle East, began to pay attention to change. Jordanian society began to move from an old-style state to a contemporary state. Where globalization had a significant impact on culture, either in terms of individual culture and organizational culture. On the other hand, many studies emphasized that culture through its dimensions has an important role in influencing the corporate atmosphere or corporate social responsibility, as well as affecting the financial performance of companies. Moreover, the literature indicates that cultural dimensions influence the conduct of individuals and the performance of firms. . The literature indicated that there are different dimensions of culture, including Hofstede's dimensions of culture, which are Power Distance Index; Individualism versus collectivism; Masculinity versus Femininity; Uncertainty Avoidance index; Long-versus Short- Term Orientation; Indulgence versus Restraint. This study focused on the Indulgence versus Restraint dimension, as a recent dimension, where through the literature it can be predicted the existence of a critical role for the indulgence dimension on performance. After reviewing the literature related to the Indulgence dimension, it was found that there is a shortage and almost no local studies conducted in Jordan regarding the Indulgence versus Restraint dimension. Since this dimension is new, this paper stresses the importance of more research on this subject to expand the local literature on Indulgence and its impact on the performance in the Jordan context and compare it with other countries in order to provide important and useful results for the policymakers.

Abstract:
National economic competitiveness is a major concern to governments, firms, and individuals in an increasingly globalised world. Culture is known affect economic competitiveness, but there is little existing research that links Hofstede’s cultural dimensions with the Human Capital Indicators in the World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Index. U-blox is an international firm with offices around the world. The firm has grown through acquisitions and has become a key player in the wireless communication and positioning semiconductors business. The chosen topic will study the cultural aspects of a selected group of u-blox subsidiaries. The values in a workplace are in fact influenced by culture and by their human capital. Using Hofstede’s dimensions to analyse the cultural factors, it is possible to study the international context of the human capital in each subsidiary by using reliable international indicators provided in the Global Competitiveness Index.

Titel: Att anpassa eller inte?  En kvalitativ studie om butikskommunikationen anpassas till ett lands kultur.   Problemställning: Examensarbetet är inriktad på följande problemställning: Hur är butikskommunikationen anpassad till kulturen i Sverige.   Syfte: Syftet med detta examensarbete är att analysera om butikskommunikationen anpassas till ett lands kultur.   Avgränsningar: För att få studien mer fokuserad har avgränsningar utförts. Då butikskommunikation är ett brett ämne har författarna valt att rikta butikskommunikationen på modebranschen, där Företag A och Företag B utgör exempel för denna studie.   Metodik: I denna uppsats har en kvalitativ forskningsmetodik genomförts. Där vikten på ord och tolkning vid insamling samt analys av data haft relevans. Studien har resulterat i en abduktiv forskningsansats där tillvägagångssättet har varit flexibelt då studien har uppvisat en blandning av deduktion, induktion samt inslag av iterativt pendlade mellan empiri och teori. Metoden är baserad på observation där två företag används som exempel. Observationerna har varit av blandad karaktär, där den mest centrala delen var att studera fenomenet butikskommunikation i sin rätta miljö.   Slutsatser: Studiens slutsats visar på hur butikskommunikation är anpassad till kulturen i Sverige. Detta göras genom att ta kulturens beståndsdelar i beaktning. Vad gäller till exempel språk, färgers kulturella betydelser, traditioner och högtider. Studien har även påvisat att genom specialexponering av säsong och högtid kan värderingar med mera kommuniceras tydligt. Butikskommunikationen anpassas genom att visa en förståelse för en kulturs etnicitet. Studiens slutsatser visade också på att företag anpassar sin butikskommunikation genom att ta hänsyn till Hofstede´s kulturdimensioner att undvika osäkerhet, individualism och kollektivism, maskulinitet och femininitet samt långsiktigt- och kortsiktigt inriktning
Title: To adapt or not? A qualitative study of visual merchandising adapted to a country's culture.   Research question: The study is aimed at reviewing the following issue: How is visual merchandising adapted to the culture of Sweden?   Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyse if visual merchandising are adapted to a county’s culture.   Limitations: To achieving a more focused study, limitations were carried out. Because visual merchandising is a wide subject, the authors choose  to focus on the fashion industry. Two companies, Company A and Company B are made as examples for this study.   Method: In this study a qualitative research method was applied, where words and the interpretation in the collection of data and the analysis of it, had an  important relevance for this study. The study had an abductive approach. The study has shown a mixture of deduction, induction and elements of an iterative change between empiricism and theory. The method was based on the observation of two companies that were made as examples. The observations were of mixed characters, but the most central part was to study the phenomenon of visual merchandising in the right environment.   Conclusion: The study concludes how visual merchandising can be adapted to a country’s culture. This can be done by taking the cultural elements into consideration. With the regard of language, cultural meaning of colors, traditions and celebrations. The study has also shown that the visual communication can be more clearly communicated through special displays of seasonal and celebration products and values. Visual merchandising can be adjusted to a culture by showing an understanding of a culture’s ethnicity. The study also concludes that companies can adapt their visual merchandising by taking into account Hofstede's cultural dimensions to avoid uncertainty, individualism and collectivism, masculinity and femininity and long- versus short-term orientation.

Abstract:
Religion consists of humanity's beliefs, cultural systems, and worldviews of existence (Geertz, 1973). Its function is not merely a system of symbols that people act according to, but also the establishment of powerful, pervasive motivations in the society. This study intends to analyze the connection of religion and culture by using one of Hofstede's cultural dimensions, power distance (the extent of how power is accepted and expected to be distributed in the society). In this analysis, the researcher investigated the PDI (Power Distance Index) within the Utah Mormon culture. Researcher also compared the PDI scoring of Utah Mormon culture to the general US culture, as well as the PDI in Catholicism and Protestantism culture. The results showed that the unique Mormon cultural region in Utah has the lowest PDI in comparison to the US national culture and that of general Protestant and Catholic communities. This outcome is contrary to the general characterization of power in Utah Mormon culture. The result of this study raised more questions than answers. Although several factors and characteristics that contribute to the low PDI in Utah Mormon society, as well as its implications have been analyzed, the researcher found that this contradiction of the PDI scoring is related to Hofstede's original work. This study is challenging Hofstede's way in treating culture and its components as homogenous. Thus, each fragment of culture needs to be investigated as a separate entity. The study of power distance in Utah Mormon culture indicates how a society can understand its own characteristics and how it can communicate more effectively with other societies with different backgrounds or different PDI based on these characteristics. This study can educate people concerning how Mormons interact and perhaps might even, to a certain extent, at least, explain the conflicts in the society itself. Additionally, the results of this research can be a new contribution to the literature for this field and can further the research in verifying the characteristics of a given society.

Full text
Abstract:
In the recent decades a new type of economic system based on collaborative consumption has increased in popularity. The new cost competitive model challenges the traditional business model that has fueled the hyper consumption, which the 20th century is known for. This research focuses on how national cultures impact the development of this new economic system, in order to understand how much people of different cultures are willing to share. A conceptual model was created to try to understand cultural influence on sharing. Hofstede’s cultural dimensions have been used to measure and compare the empirical data, that was collected through five focus groups representing four different countries: Sweden, France, China and United States. Out of the six cultural dimensions, it was found that the indulgence dimension together with power distance might influence people’s willingness to share. Indulgence was also found to explain socialization as a motivational factor together with power distance and long-term orientation. In conclusion, four different sharing sectors were analyzed, and it was found that transportation and clothing was considered shareable, disregarding national culture. Accommodation might be dependent on national culture since the focus groups that were supposed to be indulgent showed resistance to share, while the restraint groups showed a greater willingness. Technology was not considered shareable by any group. Furthermore, three motivational factors, that might be depend on national culture, was identified. These are environment, socialization and technology. An additional four motivational factors were identified, but these might be independent of national culture. These four are personal, economical, trust/safety and convenience. Lastly, additional findings showed that similar genders have similar willingness to share across cultures which makes it a topic of interest for future research.

Abstract:
Public Diplomacy has been around for decades, in some parts of the world more than others. Despite that, research related to public diplomacy has mainly focused on approaches serving governments’ policy concerns. A large part of the research has also surrounded efficiency aspects: the level of impact culminating from public diplomacy activities. This tunnel vision has undoubtedly contributed to the limitation of theoretical and methodological development. From that standpoint, this study attempts to contribute and fill the existing theoretical and methodological gap. The study builds on the research by Yun (2005), directed by J. E. Gruing, and examines the reliability of her framework and sheds light on some potential shortcomings and eventual amendments. Suggesting the convergence of public diplomacy and public relation, the model is composed of two theoretical frameworks. Public diplomacy as the dependent variable is anchored in Grunig’s excellence theory and national culture as determinants (independent variable) is anchored in Hofstede’s cultural dimensions theory. As did Yun, the study finds that cultural dimensions as determinants for South Korea’s public diplomacy do not possess sufficient explanatory power to understand South Korea’s public diplomacy management. A historical lens and additional contextual factors would hypothetically better explain Korea’s public diplomacy, paving the way for future studies.

Abstract:
Context: Agile methodologies are widely recognized in western countries. From past few years, its practices are being successfully adopted in global settings especially in eastern countries. Across the world, teams are following its values and principles. Are all the teams behaving in the same way? Potential difficulties related to culture arise while implementing agile practices. Due to variance in backgrounds and behaviors, social cliques and issues are likely to be formed between the team mates which become a hurdle. Objectives: The study unravels the list of relationships between the agile team behavioral characteristics and Hofstede cultural dimensions. It also explores whether Indian employees working in an agile environment possess the required behavioral characteristics which are useful for the effective functioning of a team. The other objective of this study reveals the influence of the years of experience of the agile employees on behavioral characteristics. Methods: Data collection processes include a literature review and a web survey. First, in the literature review analysis of the empirical studies from year 1999-2011 was done. The review approach helped in collecting and summarizing the data. The studies were identified from the most reliable and authentic databases that are scientifically and technically peer reviewed such as Engineering village, IEEE Xplore, ACM digital library, Springer Link and Google Scholar. A survey was conducted with 33 practitioners from various multinational organizations in India. Statistical analysis was used to analyze the data. Results: Hofstede’s cultural dimensions had noticeable influence on agile team behavioral characteristics. Although, all the enabler characteristics were not seen in Indian culture, the results clearly show that some of the cultural dimensions are enabling factors to function well in an agile team and some hinder the team effectiveness. The result from the literature review shows the list of relationships between Hofstede cultural dimensions and agile team behavioral characteristics. All team behavioral characteristics were to a certain extent demonstrated by Indian agile employees, which can be known from the survey results. It is also seen from the survey results that, team behavioral characteristics can be demonstrated more effectively by the experienced agile employees. Conclusion: From this study, we have found the relationships between Hofstede cultural dimensions and agile team behavioral characteristics. List of agile team behavioral characteristics which were followed by Indian agile employees were obtained from the survey. We conclude that Indian agile employees were able to demonstrate all the agile team behavior characteristics required for an effective functioning of a team. One more interesting thing which came into our attention, after analyzing the survey was that years of experience of agile employees do have an effect on the employees which influences the demonstration of team behavior characteristics. It was clear that demonstration of these characteristics were not only dependent on individual’s nature but also on the years of experience in agile environment. The absence of relationships which were not found through literature needs to be focused. Hence we conclude that there is a need for conducting even more in-depth surveys and reviews to investigate the unfound relationships.

Abstract:
Nowadays, organizations have to deal more and more with cultural diversity concerning their workforce due to globalization. The challenge for these organizations is to manage the cross cultural workforce in an effective way. Therefore, they have to have skills and the necessary knowledge in order to conduct cross cultural management. For this reason, the purpose of this study was to investigate how a cross cultural workforce could be managed effectively. In order to get insights into what differences exist between employees of different cultures, what kind of problems can arise out of these differences and how these problems can be overcome through cross cultural management, a qualitative research approach in form of a case study was conducted. Hereby, interviews with three managers including two head of departments were conducted. These interviews have used the frame of reference as foundation including well-known theories like Hofstede, Inglehart, the eight value orientations, McGregor and some other theories. The statements of the interviews were evaluated and analyzed in order to find answers to the research questions stated in the thesis. The findings of this study show that the management team at LTU is not necessarily focusing on cross cultural differences as the impact is less negative than expected. However, conflicts that still arise do not really seem to have bad consequences at LTU. Therefore, these conflicts can be fixed relatively easy by applying the most important variables connected to encountering cross cultural challenges in the frame of reference. These are: human skills, good communication, creating unity, respect, empathy, body language as well as harnessing differences. Especially the personal attitude as well as the human skills of managers and employees play an essential role.

Abstract:
My thesis discusses whether culture can be used to predict visual design preferences in documentation and whether cultures with similar attributes demonstrate similar visual design preferences. The visual design of a document is an important element in effective communication to an audience. If the audience is outside the United States, it is important to understand the attributes of that culture to create documents that are most effective for the audience. Cultural theorist Geert Hofstede describes cultural attributes in terms of six cultural dimensions: individualism versus collectivism, high versus low power distance, high versus low uncertainty avoidance, masculinity versus femininity, long-term versus short-term orientation, and indulgence versus restraint. This thesis explores whether we can identify visual design preferences in high uncertainty avoidance cultures and high power distance cultures, such as Spain and Latin American countries. To explore this topic, a study was done on sample report documents from a single company which operates in the United States, Latin America and Spain. Choosing only one company to collect samples from provided a way of discounting different corporate cultures as an influence on standards, tools and how documents are developed. As a framework for comparison of the documents, Kostelnick's visual design matrix was used to analyze the documents for graphics, data displays, document unifiers, decoding devices, and cuing devices. The results show that some elements of visual design can be predicted by cultural attribute, and there is a correlation between different cultures and their preference for similar design elements. For U.S. technical communicators working on documents for Latin American and Spanish audiences, documents need to be shorter in length with simple data displays and need to use more cuing devices to be effective for audiences in these cultures.; This study also shows that for technical communicators designing documents for audiences in other cultures, studying the audience and the specific attributes of that culture will provide direction on how to design an effective technical document for that audience.

Abstract:
The present paper aimed to study the culture in Sweden and Finland, by analyzing two research centers of one multinational organization in each location. Hofstede’s cultural framework was used as a benchmark for the research. Further, the study investigated the significant impact that culture has on innovation and job performance. To achieve the purpose, quantitative approach was adopted and a self-competition questionnaire was distributed to the employees of both research centers. Two hypotheses were tested concerning with the relationship between any of Hofstede’s cultural dimensions and innovation, respectively job performance. After a regression analysis was conducted, two models were created which described the impact of the cultural constructs. All of Hofstede’s initial four dimensions indicated a relationship with innovation, while only individualism and uncertainty avoidance showed to be significant in predicting job performance. An unexpected result was discovered in the individualism index, which has drastically shifted, putting Finland in the collectivist societies, with Sweden following the same trend. The study’s results should be able to contribute to the better understanding of culture’s influence on innovation and job performance in multinational organizations and help practitioners by demonstrating the importance of considering culture’s effect.

Abstract:
With the increasing levels of multiculturalism in today’s business and the proliferation and essentiality of information systems, development and management of IS needs to be considered in light of the cultural factors which impact upon its utility. Hofstede’s work on culture is the most widely cited in existence. His observations and analysis provide scholars and practitioners a valuable insight into the dynamics of cross-cultural relationships. However, such a groundbreaking body of work does not escape criticism. Hofstede has been dogged by academics discrediting his work in part or whole. Nonetheless, far more scholars exist who support Hofstede than those that don’t. Most quote Hofstede’s work with unabashed confidence, many including his findings as absolute assumptions. This paper takes a critical look at Hofstede’s work and applies his findings to the practical needs of information systems. The paper finds support for the dimensions promoted by Hofstede in regard to information systems, but recommends continued research to provide greater clarity and continued applicability of his espoused dimensions.

Full text
Abstract:
Linder Theory which is a considerable theory about international manufactured goods trade suggests that international trade in manufactured goods will be more intense between countries with similar per capita income levels than between countries with dissimilar per capita income levels. But in practice, cultural differences between countries may also restrain the density of trade. This literature survey will aim to explain the relationship between income level and culture which may be different for one to another group. G. Hofstede who is an influential cultural anthropologist suggests five different cultural dimension to explain cultural differences between countries. Later, Hofstede calculates the values of different countries in these dimensions. So, in this study, initially, international trade in manufactured goods between similar per capital income levels will be examined. This will be done by comparing per capital income levels of selected countries. OECD data in trade and TÜİK's data (for Turkey) will be used in comparison. Later Hofstede's data will be used. In conclusion, the survey will try to explain how large are the effects of cultural differences between countries with similar income levels in international trade in manufactured goods. Previous studies generally find statistically significant results, but the main framework of these studies suggests controversial results. The study has aimed to commit a literature survey and in this study, comparisons of trade flow between countries are also controversial.

Abstract:
Developing and maintaining a healthy work environment is an important consideration to the rail industry. Several theories have been advanced to examine, understand, and influence how workers function and interact within their working environments. These include motivational theories such as Taylor’s Theory of Scientific Management and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, models of moral develop such as developed by Kohlberg and Gilligan, theories of personality types like Myers–Brigg and Keirsey, and the theory of cultural dimensions developed by Hofstede. Positive work environments can contribute to safe and efficient operations, while negative work environments almost inevitably degrade performance and increase the potential for injury and accidents. Therefore understanding and managing these elements properly can greatly contribute to better organizational outcomes. This paper will then examine the underlying role of human behavior as determined by these theories appear to have played in 5 incidents at Metro–North Railroad in 2013–2014.

Abstract:
This study examines the organizational culture of Japan by studying the activities of three large companies in order to have a better understanding of the nation’s culture and its effects on the society. From the perspective of cultural relevance, a literature review has been conducted in order to see the basis of the Japanese behavior and the differences between Japan and other countries. The paper discusses the cultural dimensions of Japan according to Hofstede vision and makes a foray into the present by analyzing them in a number of world-renowned companies. After presenting the methodology, the paper explains the reason for the company selection and provides a detailed analysis for each of them through organizational culture components, as found in Schein and Denison. All Japanese cultural features have a long history, undergoing little change over time, although globalization has played an important role in the partial diminution of some of them. There are deeply rooted cultural elements such as beliefs, symbols, rituals, to which employees adhere and which contribute to the development of companies and society as a whole. At the end, the paper presents possible limits of the research, but also provides the basis for further studies.

Abstract:
In this work we proposed a computational model to extract pedestrian characteristics from video sequences. The proposed model considers a series of characteristics of the pedestrians and the crowd, such as number and size of groups, distances, speeds, among others, and performs the mapping of these characteristics in personalities, emotions and cultural aspects, considering the Cultural Dimensions of Hofstede (HCD), the Big-Five Personality Model (OCEAN) and the OCC Emotional Model. The main hypothesis is that there is a relationship between so-called intrinsic human variables (such as emotion) and the way people behave in space and time. As one of the main contributions, four large dimensions of geometric characteristics (Big4GD) were proposed: I - Physical, II - Personal and Emotional, III - Social and IV - Cultural, which seek to describe the behavior of pedestrians and groups in the crowd. The GeoMind tool was developed for the purpose of detecting the four geometric dimensions from video sequences. In addition, several analyzes were carried out with the purpose of validating the proposed model, from comparing results with the literature, including the comparison of spontaneous multitudes from several countries and controlled experiments involving Fundamental Diagrams.

Abstract:
This cultural research aims to investigate the direct effects of leader support on employees' innovative behaviors and the moderating effect of Hofstede’s culture dimensions (collectivism, masculinity, uncertainty avoidance and power distance) in the relation between leader support and employees' innovative behaviors. The hypotheses are tested using the data collected from a sample of 396 employees in tourism sector in Antalya, Turkey. The results demonstrate that leader support significantly improves employees' innovative behaviors in this sector. Besides, some culture dimensions have moderating roles on the association between leader support and employees' innovative behaviors. Findings indicate that the moderating role of culture varies from dimension to dimension.

Abstract:
Culture is a multifaceted, complex process which consists of knowledge, art, morals, customs, skills and habits. Based on this point of view of Tylor, we can say that the culture is the human in the society, his learning styles and the technical or artistic products that originate from these learning styles, in other words, the content. In antropology it is argued that when the concept of culture is considered as a component in a social system, the combination of the social and cultural areas form the socio-cultural system. Approaches that handle culture within the socio-cultural system are functionalism (Malinowski), structural-functionalism (Radliffe-Brown), historical-extensionist (Kluckhohn, Krober), environmental adaptive (White), while the approaches that treat culture as a system of thought are cognitive (Goodenough), structural (Levi Strauss) and symbolic (Geertz) approaches. In addition to these approaches that evaluate cultures specific to communities, another definition is made according to the learning time: Margeret Mead, Cofigurative Culture. In order to evaluate today’s societies in terms of culture, we are observing a new culture which has cofigurative features under the influence of convergent technologies (mobile, cloud technology, robots, virtual reality): Digital Culture. This study aims to discuss the characteristics of the digital culture, which is observed after the theoretic approaches that define different cultures in cross-cultural communication (Hofstede’s Cultural Dimension and Cofigurative Culture) and called as network society by Manual Castells and accelerated during the Covid19 pandemic, in other words the common communication culture. Common cultural features will be studied through methods of semiology and text analysis upon digital contents which are starting to take hold of cross-cultural communication, a comparison between cross-cultural communication and communicative ecology will be made, the alteration in the cultural features of the society will be examined via visual and written findings obtained.
