Cultural Conflict in American Factory from the Perspective of Hofstede’s Cultural Dimension

Abstract

Documentary is a kind of artistic creation which takes real people and events as the object and triggers people’s thinking through the recording of objective and real situations. American factory records the process of Chinese entrepreneur Cao Dewan’s investment in Dayton, Ohio, and reconstruction of the local closed factory. From the perspective of Hofstede’s cultural dimension theory, the collision between Chinese and American cultures in American Factory will be analyzed form power distance, collectivism and individualism, and uncertainty avoidance.
