Final answer:

Hofstede later developed the social value of long-term orientation, which measures a culture's inclination towards long-standing versus short-term traditions and values.

Step-by-step explanation:

One of Hofstede's social values that was developed later is e. long-term orientation. Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory is a framework for cross-cultural communication, which describes the effects of a society's culture on the values of its members, and how these values relate to behavior. Long-term orientation refers to the degree to which a culture values long-standing as opposed to short term traditions and values. This dimension was added to the original four dimensions (power distance, uncertainty avoidance, individualism versus collectivism, and masculinity versus femininity) to capture more aspects of cultural variation.

Examples of cultures with a high degree of long-term orientation include many East Asian cultures, which emphasize perseverance, thrift, and adapting to changing circumstances. In contrast, cultures with a low long-term orientation, such as the United States, tend to value short-term gains and achievements.
