Culture Compass

by The Culture Factor Group

The Culture Factor Group, the ultimate culture experts based on Geert Hofstede's pioneering work and 6-D Model, has developed the Culture Compass. The goal of the Culture Compass is to help you understand the impact of your own cultural value preferences and potential behavioral pitfalls while working with people from a selected country.

  • Are you an international student seeking to work abroad?
  • Would you like to learn more and be aware of the working culture in your country of interest?

In an international world like today, it is essential to understand a country's working culture and other cultural elements that may differ from your home country. The Culture Compass sheds light on important culture elements that will allow you to better understand the cultural differences in countries and avoid behavioral pitfalls while working in a particular country.

About the Report

  • 6 roles to choose from (subordinate, colleague, superior, negotiator, person transferring know-how, long-term visitor)
  • Country to country comparison
  • Comparison of your personal preferences and a selected country
  • English report

After using the Culture Compass you will be presented with a report comparing your personal preferences to a country of your choice taking into consideration the role that you have selected.

For each dimension, two comparisons are shown on two pages: the country to country comparison and your personal preferences compared to a country.
