Abstract
AbstractWhen examining the four dimensions of national culture from an Asian perspective, Hofstede expands on his well-known measure of comparative cultural values and emerges with a new dimension unrelated to results from questionnaires designed by Western scholars. This new dimension emphasizes a Long-Term versus a Short-Term Orientation in Life. The author explores the religious and philosophical origins of these two approaches and illustrates how each views the concept of virtue differently with Western ideas of virtue tied closely to Truth, while Eastern ideas of virtue are not attached to any particular version of Truth. The implications of these differing ways of thinking on scientific inquiry, forms of government, and ways of managing are considered.
