The "group" dimension seems too similar to the "individualism/collectivism dimension used in other cultural typologies. In this case, what are the unique traits of the group dimension (as well as the unique traits of the theoretical the context this dimension is being used in) that make it different from other typologies?
I am not quite sure about typologies, but coming from a counseling/psychology background, and again, this is just based in that area alone, the "group" concept is very emotionally and mentally stablizing. It allows others to realize that they are NOT alone in whatever area they thought they were alone in. It also allows for diminishing racial prejudices based on the discovery that we all seem to endure the same sort of crap in life, although it may not be identical. It also allows people to realize the "projections" about others that they have that usually are wrong. I'm answering this from a counseling and psychology view. I really do not know what exactly you are hoping to find out.

I've just used the Yedda bookmarklet for asking questions on a specific web page. On top of the message body you can see "Asked about “basics - dimensions - grid group cultural theory” - that is the hyperlink to the web page I am asking about. I guess you've skipped it (maybe the Yedda team should make it more conspicuous, it really doesn't stand out from the rest of the text) and this is why my post seems too general. Is this the case?
I have probably been there, done it, seen it, ate it, felt it, overcame it, smelled it, known about it, met it, shook hands with it, lived with it, wrote about it, many yrs, and still survived to talk about it with you.
I, for one, simplify the theory by my answer of "food" eaten or cultivated. I tend to "group" with those who really eat, not the vegans or dieters.
