Trompenaars' model is a framework for understanding cultural differences in business and communication. Developed by Fons Trompenaars, it identifies seven dimensions of culture that influence how people interact and make decisions. These dimensions help organizations navigate cross-cultural challenges and improve collaboration among diverse teams.
The seven dimensions include Universalism vs. Particularism, Individualism vs. Communitarianism, Neutral vs. Affective, Specific vs. Diffuse, Achievement vs. Ascription, Sequential vs. Synchronic, and Internal vs. External control. By recognizing these cultural variations, businesses can enhance their global strategies and foster better relationships with clients and colleagues worldwide.
