Episode 8: Uncertainty Avoidance and cross cultural relationships

In this episode we examine uncertainty avoidance as a cultural dimension laid out by Hofstede and how that can impact relationships. We specifically discuss it from an Danish, Irish, Moroccan and American cultural context. Uncertainty Avoidance is how cultures handle unpredictability and how they handle unknown situations. As humans we all face the question, how do we deal with the unknown and each cultural context has different approaches for this question.
