Qualitative data was collected through interviews with 35 firms in scaling stages to assess various cultural dimensions within those firms. The results indicate that top-level employees believe mostly in mixed approaches and not a strictly black-or-white way of thinking. The selection of the Hofstede framework disregards other prominent cultural frameworks, which may ultimately provide valuable findings in future studies. This study is the first qualitative assessment that investigates specific cultural characteristics while exhibiting scalability, adding important information to organizational culture approaches.engHofstedeOrganizational cultureScalabilityPower distanceUncertainty avoidanceIndividualism-CollectivismMasculinity-FemininityLong term-short term orientationIndulgence-Restraintmaster thesis203926056
