Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Short-term-Long-term orientation refers to a cultural dimension that describes the degree to which a culture emphasizes the future (long-term) or the past and present (short-term). This dimension was identified by Hofstede in his cultural framework, where he found that some cultures tend to focus more on short-term gains and immediate gratification, while others are more concerned with long-term planning and delayed gratification. Examples of short-term oriented cultures include the United States, while examples of long-term oriented cultures include China and Japan.
