The theory of Hofstede’s cultural dimensions constitutes a framework revolving around cross-cultural communication, which was devised by Geert Hofstede. The dimensions collectively portray the impact of the culture ingrained in society on the values of the members of that society. This theory studies significant aspects of culture and provides them a rating on a comparison scale.

Overview
![Page 6: Culture Mapping India and Japan](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58a7081e1a28ab4c438b5ec9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Power Distance is defined as the extent to which the less powerful
members of institutions and organizations within a country
expect and accept that power is distributed unequally.

The fundamental issue addressed by this dimension is the degree of
interdependence a society maintains among its members. It has to do with
whether people´s self-image is defined in terms of “I” or “We”. In Individualist societies people are supposed to look
after themselves and their direct family only. In Collectivist societies people
belong to ‘in groups’ that take care of them in exchange for loyalty.
Individualism

A high score (Masculine) on this dimension indicates that the society will be driven by competition, achievement and success, with success being defined
by the winner / best in field – a value system that starts in school and
continues throughout organizational life. A low score (Feminine) on the dimension
means that the dominant values in society are caring for others and quality
of life.
Masculinity

The dimension Uncertainty Avoidance has to do with the way that a society deals with the fact that the future can
never be known: should we try to control the future or just let it happen? The extent to which the members feel
threatened by ambiguous or unknown situations and have created beliefs and
institutions that try to avoid these is reflected in the score on Uncertainty
Avoidance.

This dimension describes how every society has to maintain some links with its own past while dealing with the challenges of the present and
future, and societies prioritise these two existential goals differently.

High-context culture and the contrasting low-context culture
refers to a culture's tendency to use high-context messages over low-
context messages in routine communication.

A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.

{ }Conclusion
Thus, we conclude that the people of India and Japan are very similar on a collective level but different on an
individual level.
