    The document discusses long-term versus short-term orientation as a cultural dimension in societies. Long-term orientation stands for virtues like perseverance and adapting to changing circumstances, while short-term orientation stands for virtues related to the past and present like tradition and obligations. Societies are measured on a scale from 0-100 for their long-term orientation score, with higher scores indicating a longer-term focus. Several Asian countries like Japan and China score highly, while the U.S. and Mexico score towards the short-term end. Long-term societies tend to value mathematics, savings, and long-term profits more while short-term societies prioritize present results and flexibility.

    Long- versus Short-Term Orientation in 10 minutes

    Long/Short Term Orientation as a societal culture dimension

    Long-Term Orientation stands for the fostering in a society of


    pragmatic virtues oriented to future rewards, in particular
    perseverance, thrift, and adapting to changing circumstances
    Its opposite pole, Short-Term Orientation, stands for the
    fostering in a society of virtues related to the past and the
    present, such as national pride, respect for tradition,
    preservation of face, and fulfilling social obligations

    How are long- and short term orientation measured?

    There is no absolute standard for L/S orientation


    What we can measure is differences between societies
    The position of societies relative to each other is
    expressed in a Long-Term Orientation Index score (LTO)
    LTO values have been plotted on a scale from 0 to 100;
    scores close to 0 stand for a shorter, scores close to 100
    for a longer term orientation
    Some Long Term Orientation (LTO) scores, out of 93
