The critiques of Hofestede's cultural dimensions include:

a$.$ The conclusions were based on insufficient samples $($not enough countries included, and unequal amount of people from different countries$)$

b$.$ Questions as to if IBM employees really represent national cultures as a whole as they are only one type of worker

c$.$ The questionnaire was actually created to assess job satisfaction for a company, not assess cultural values

d$.$ The dimensions promote a static view of culture, when we know culture is dynamic

e$.$ Hofestede invented much of the data
