Hofstede’s ideas: Values of Morocco and Spain: Hofstede recently identified five variables on which he has claimed that country cultures, even those with considerable diversity, can be compared.

Simply because even though they are few miles apart, there cultural diversity makes them different and special. Let’s see first the 5D model of Morocco and Spain’s dimensions: Comments: After analyzing the
