Abstract

Culture is a broad notion which covers many facets of human existence, such as language, customs, traditions, norms, and social systems. Understanding the dimensions of national culture is essential for comprehending the intricate dynamics of different societies and their impact on various domains, such as business, politics, and interpersonal relationships. This paper focuses on analyzing cultural differences between two European Union countries, Croatia and Netherlands using Hofstede's approach. As this approach has become widely accepted and used both in academic and business environment, it is relevant for conducting cross-cultural research in order to obtain understanding of differences among national cultures. The paper consists of theoretical part where the importance of understanding culture is discussed and empirical research, where cultural dimensions of Croatia and Netherlands are compared.
