Information Overload and National Culture:Assessing Hofstede’s Model Based on Data from Two Countries Ned Kock, Ph.D. Dept. of MIS and Decision Science Texas AM International University Information overload Situation characterized by an individual having more information to handle, in order to carry out one or more activities of a business process, than allowed by his or her (cognitive, time, technology etc.) resources. Scores and ranks for the US and NZ - cultural dimensions in Hofstede’s model Hofstede’s country and region clusters framework There is similarity in the scores, and particularly closeness in the ranks, for the US and New Zealand on each of the five cultural dimensions. This similarity in the scores and ranks is reflected in Hofstede’s (2001, p. 62) country and region clusters framework.
