8. For more on the variables, see the books by Edward T. Hall, a prolific researcher and writer on culture and the one to whom most recent writers on the subject refer. In addition, you will want to look at Hofstede’s Culture and Organizations and Inglehart and Welzel’s Modernization, Culture, Change, and Democracy, as well as their Value Map. If you desire a more complex but also useful, framework, you should look at the one provided by Walker, Walker, and Schmitz in their book Doing Business Internationally. Although some have criticized Hall and Hofstede for being dated and limited too much to geography, recent studies have shown that their concepts still have validity and that the communication patterns today “still resonate with the cultural dimensions proposed decades ago” See in particular Würtz, E. (2005). A cross-cultural analysis of websites from high-context cultures and low-context cultures. Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication 11, No. 1, article 13. jcmc.indiana.edu/vol11/issue1/wuertz.html.
