    Hofstede's Dimensions in a Nutshell outlines several cultural dimensions including power distance, uncertainty avoidance, individualism vs collectivism, masculinity vs femininity, and short- vs long-term orientation that can be used to analyze and compare cultures. Power distance refers to unequal power relationships in societies, uncertainty avoidance is a society's tolerance for ambiguity, and individualism vs collectivism describes the strength of social framework ties. Masculine societies value achievement while feminine societies value caring for others, and short-term vs long-term orientation distinguishes time horizons.
