Perspectives on behavior across cultures.
Perspectives on behavior across cultures.
The Lewis Model is a tool used to understand the ways in which different cultures perceive and interact with each other. It examines the four main dimensions of behavior: power distance, individualism/collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, and masculinity/femininity. These dimensions address how culture can shape individual actions and interactions, helping to better understand cross cultural differences. This model can be used to inform international development and negotiation strategies and bridge cultural gaps.
