Developing Cultural Adaptability

Seven broad cultural dimensions in particular are useful in explaining those differences.
1. source and expressions of identity (collective/individual)
2. source and expressions of authority (equal/unequal)
3. goals and means of achievement (tough/tender)
4. response to uncertainty and change (dynamic/stable)
5. means of knowledge acquisition (active/reflective)
6. orientation to time (scarce/plentiful)
7. response to natural and social environment (doing/being)
