There has been interests on the influence of culture be it national or corporate on organisations and with growing national diversity in today’s businesses, culture remains an important dimension.

Preceding Hofstede’s study was the work of Bartels (1967) who was one of the first to relate the importance of culture, illustrating the concept in decision-making and business ethics.
