Hofstede’s dimensions of culture theory:- This theory is described as a framework for
cross-cultural communication that is introduced by great philosopher named Geert Hofstede. It is
most important for company to determine the core value of its members for performing task majorly
in group as compared to individuals that leads to complete goal efficiently. Managers of Morrisons
implement this model for building good relations among its workers by respecting each other cultures,
ethos, norms and code of conduct (Busuioc and Rimkutė, 2020).
 Individualism versus collectivism:- The managers analyse the human behaviour by
