Dimension by dimension

Dimension-by-Dimension Analysis

PDI

Power Distance Index

Gap: 18 pts

Grenada

Lithuania

High score meaning: Accepts hierarchy and unequal power distribution

Low score meaning: Prefers equality and questions authority

Book definition: The extent to which the less powerful members of institutions and organizations within a country expect and accept that power is distributed unequally.

Grenada (60) and Lithuania (42) differ moderately on Power Distance Index. The gap is meaningful but not extreme — people from both countries can usually adapt if the difference is made explicit.

Practical implication: Awareness training or a short cross-cultural briefing is usually enough to prevent misunderstandings between Grenada and Lithuania on this dimension.

IDV

Individualism vs Collectivism

Gap: 30 pts

Grenada

Lithuania

High score meaning: Individual rights and self-reliance valued

Low score meaning: Strong group loyalty and collective identity

Book definition: Individualism pertains to societies in which the ties between individuals are loose; collectivism to societies in which people are integrated into strong, cohesive in-groups.

Lithuania (60) scores notably higher than Grenada (30) on the Individualism vs Collectivism dimension. This is a large difference: while the two cultures may share many values, their assumptions on individualism diverge in ways that are easy to miss.

Practical implication: When planning joint projects, teams, or negotiations between Lithuania and Grenada, treat individualism as a design constraint rather than an afterthought.

MAS

Masculinity vs Femininity

Gap: 19 pts

Grenada

Lithuania

High score meaning: Assertive, competitive, achievement-oriented

Low score meaning: Modest, caring, quality-of-life oriented

Book definition: A society is called masculine when emotional gender roles are clearly distinct; feminine when emotional gender roles overlap.

Grenada (50) and Lithuania (31) differ moderately on Masculinity vs Femininity. The gap is meaningful but not extreme — people from both countries can usually adapt if the difference is made explicit.

Practical implication: Awareness training or a short cross-cultural briefing is usually enough to prevent misunderstandings between Grenada and Lithuania on this dimension.

UAI

Uncertainty Avoidance Index

Gap: 25 pts

Grenada

Lithuania

High score meaning: Strong need for rules, structure, and predictability

Low score meaning: Tolerant of ambiguity and unstructured situations

Book definition: The extent to which the members of a culture feel threatened by ambiguous or unknown situations.

Lithuania (65) scores notably higher than Grenada (40) on the Uncertainty Avoidance Index dimension. This is a large difference: while the two cultures may share many values, their assumptions on uncertainty avoidance diverge in ways that are easy to miss.

Practical implication: When planning joint projects, teams, or negotiations between Lithuania and Grenada, treat uncertainty avoidance as a design constraint rather than an afterthought.

LTO

Long-Term vs Short-Term Orientation

Gap: 69 pts

Grenada

Lithuania

High score meaning: Perseverance, thrift, future rewards

Low score meaning: Tradition, face, present social obligations

Book definition: Long-term orientation stands for the fostering of virtues oriented toward future rewards, in particular perseverance and thrift.

Lithuania (82) and Grenada (13) sit at nearly opposite ends of the Long-Term vs Short-Term Orientation dimension. According to Hofstede, Hofstede, and Minkov (2010), this is one of the widest gaps you can find between two countries on this dimension, and it usually signals deep differences in how people in each society handle the underlying issue.

Practical implication: Expect friction when people from Lithuania and Grenada work together on tasks that touch on long-term orientation. Each side may initially perceive the other as unreasonable rather than simply different.

IVR

Indulgence vs Restraint

Gap: 64 pts

Grenada

Lithuania

High score meaning: Free gratification, enjoyment of life, fun

Low score meaning: Strict social norms, restraint of desires

Book definition: Indulgence stands for a tendency to allow relatively free gratification of basic and natural human desires related to enjoying life and having fun.

Grenada (80) and Lithuania (16) sit at nearly opposite ends of the Indulgence vs Restraint dimension. According to Hofstede, Hofstede, and Minkov (2010), this is one of the widest gaps you can find between two countries on this dimension, and it usually signals deep differences in how people in each society handle the underlying issue.

Practical implication: Expect friction when people from Grenada and Lithuania work together on tasks that touch on indulgence. Each side may initially perceive the other as unreasonable rather than simply different.
