Abstract
Nearly 3 decades have passed since Hofstede (1980) collected the data used to classify countries by their underlying work-related value stru ctures. The present study, in which recent data from 9 countries in 4 continents was collected, is a reexamination of his country classifica tions. The results suggest that many shifts have occurred since Hofste de's study in 1980. These shifts are related to some of the major envi ronmental changes that have occurred.
