This is your 2-3 sentence introduction. No heading is required. Remember to always indent the first line of a paragraph (use the tab key). The margins, font size, spacing, and font type (bold or plain) are set in APA format. While you may change the names of the headings and subheadings, do not change the font or style of font. This introduction should provide a quick overview of the topic discussed.

Hofstede’s culture dimensions

Using the information from the website, provide a brief explanation for each dimension and the meaning of each country’s score for that dimension. Be sure to cite the website but do not use the exact words or quotations. (1 page)

Country comparisons

Go to https://www.hofstede-insights.com/country-comparison/ and select two countries plus the United States and complete the table below. Think about the countries you select and consider the makeup of your local workforce when deciding because you will use the data in a real-world application.

Human resource application: dimensions

In order to apply what you have learned, address cultural differences between employees from the three countries.

• Which dimensions are most different between the three groups?

Human resource application: relationships and efficiency in the workplace

For the last two sections of this assignment, you will need to engage in research beyond the Hofstede Insights webpage to complete this assignment.

• How will these differences affect relationships and efficiency in the workplace?

Human resource application: strengthening its multicultural workforce

• What can the organization do to make the most of these differences so that they strengthen its multicultural workforce? (2 pages)

Since you are engaging in research, be sure to cite and reference the sources in APA format. The paper should be written in third person; this means words like “I”, “we”, and “you” are not appropriate. For more information see Differences Between First and Third Person. NOTE: failure to use the specific, required research with accompanying citations will result in reduced scoring (no higher than 75%) for all components of the grading rubric.

This is your 2-3 sentence conclusion. Remember this is the last thing your reader will hear.
