Dimensiunile culturale hofstediene – între predilecția pentru referință și aplicabilitate în interacțiunea româno-franceză
Hofstede's cultural dimensions – between the predilection for reference and the application in Romanian-French interaction

Summary/Abstract: A culture’s dimensions are not only external sejourns, taken by an „informed eye”, but they are also systems which delegate conventional and non-conventional analyses for the culture in question. This article is based on the study warranted by the Dutch researcher Geert Hofstede. Even if his study concerning the dimensions of different national cultures was carried out on the entrepreneurial environment, its implications are considered almost universal for the evaluation of cultures. In the second section of this article, we will use the typology of dimensions identified by Hofstede in order to underline the situations of cultural overlapping and dissonances, which can be found witin the Romanian-French cultural relations. We will also explore the thesis according to which cultural similarity is a suffcient condition for the development of harmonious bilateral cultural relations.
