Some people criticize the Hofstede model because his research was originally conducted within IBM. Is this criticism correct or incorrect? Why?
What will be an ideal response?
Most heard criticism is about his original study being within IBM. It is not correct. Instead it is a strong point. Only within one company with one corporate culture is it possible to find matching samples without differences in corporate culture interfering. By comparing people of the same age, gender and profession the effect of national culture becomes apparent. If you would take samples from both IBM and Apple, for example, you cannot make matching samples as both companies attract different types of people. The alternative of matches samples is a large representative sample from the total population.
