Geert Hofstede, a leading expert in cultural values classification, developed a model of five dimensions of natural culture that help to explain basic value differences in culture. The model distinguishes cultures according to the following five different dimensions:
- Power distance
- Individualism/collectivism
- Masculinity/femininity
- Uncertainty avoidance
- Long-term orientation
