Abstract:

National culture has long been a focal point of research in the fields of international management and economics, both for individuals and international companies. Understanding the culture of a particular country is crucial, especially for multinational corporations that rely on expatriates to manage their local operations. Hofstede's work, published in 2011, has garnered considerable attention as it introduced a framework for understanding cultural differences across various countries. This research aims to delve into Hofstede's cultural framework and specifically focuses on two countries, Turkey and Algeria. By exploring and comparing their cultural dimensions, this study seeks to identify both the similarities and differences between these nations across six dimensions. The evaluation and comparison of cultural dimensions in Turkey and Algeria can provide valuable insights into the cultural characteristics and preferences of each country. Such analysis can aid individuals and organizations in understanding the cultural nuances, facilitating effective cross-cultural communication, and informing decision-making processes when engaging with these countries. By examining the cultural dimensions, researchers can uncover important information about values, beliefs, and behaviors that shape the business environment and interpersonal interactions within each country. This knowledge is instrumental in promoting successful cross-cultural collaborations and fostering mutual understanding between individuals and organizations from different cultural backgrounds.
