   The table could be* three columns with a “Dimension Title” – “Culture 1’s Dimension” – “Culture’s 2 Dimension”

  * – “Could Be” – be creative; however you would like to present the table/information is up to you!

  These can be any two societal cultures (or even subcultures) – your choice.  (AND if you want to narrow it down to organizational cultures within the societal culture that is fine). 

  Consider differences in assumptions, beliefs, values, artifacts and Leadership approaches.
