    c: Geert Hofstede, Shalom Schwartz
    Some Complications: What culture are we measuring? Lo & Shi (2000) found that construction industry managers in China and Singapore had much higher Power Distance and Masculinity scores on the Hofstede dimensions than the general population. Our studies using the Schwartz Values Survey seem to indicate that in South China entrepreneurs have a significantly different value structure than do randomly selected non-entrepreneurs  (and those who enter business via incubators are different than those who don't).
    The interchange between Paul Spector et al. and Geert Hofstede makes interesting reading; from Google Scholar:

    I don't know of comparisons, but we published the following on Hofstede's

    the factor structure at level 2.
