				                Critique of Hofstede

													Please have a look for McSweeny, he has 4 or 5 assumptions, since these dimensions from Hofstede came from a study made in IBM offices around the world and he disagrees with it.

				                Validating Hofstede's Original Work

													In Hofstede's recent new edition of culture and organizations there are references to over 200 more recent studies that validate his research. He also introduces a new dimension, indulgence versus restraint.
