  <about><![CDATA[Gerard Hendrik Hofstede is an influential Dutch writer on the interactions between national cultures and organizational cultures, and is an author of several books including &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/273405.Culture_s_Consequences_Comparing_Values_Behaviors_Institutions_and_Organizations_Across_Nations&quot;&gt;Culture's Consequences&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/466760.Cultures_and_Organizations_Software_of_the_Mind&quot;&gt;Cultures and Organizations: Software of the Mind&lt;/a&gt;, co-authored by his son Gert Jan Hofstede. Hofstede's study demonstrated that there are national and regional cultural groupings that affect the behavior of societies and organizations, and that are very persistent across time.
