| We all tend to have a human instinct that 'deep inside' all people are the same - but they are not. An understanding of cultural peculiarities and metaphors can facilitate a deeper understanding to create localised solutions and create strategies to motivate people. From 1970 onwards, Hofstede’s work has analysed cultural values using extensive survey procedures in more than 70 countries (Hofstede, 2001).
