Abstract

There are a vast number of foreign‐born and minority employees in the United States. Using Hofstede's four dimensions of cultural values — power distance, individualism, masculinity and uncertainty avoidance — as well as some more basic cultural differences between nationalities, the conclusion is reached that American companies must carry out cross‐cultural management programmes to keep up with the changes taking place in the workforce.
