- Additional information
- In this paper we explore the novel use of sensing technologies to investigate how cultural diversity can affect social interactions in the workplace. The work employs short range wearable RF tags that can accurately capture face-to-face interactions. We analyse how cultural backgrounds affect social behaviour, and validate the effect of Hofstede's cultural dimensions in multicultural working environments. This work was the first to attempt to provide real-world validation for Hofstede's work.
