What is Culture…
…anything created
by human beings –
anything which is
not natural world.

Action-oriented culture wheretime dominates life
• Everybody is always
busy.
• Actions are quick and
decisive.
• Wasting time is something
that is not tolerated.

Individualistic culture
Who you are and what you do matters more than who your family is, and where you grew up.

Positive culture

Culture differences - Schedules
• Being on time is a prerequisite for a
productive business relationship
• Missing a deadline is a major
professional blunder; it is a sign of
being untrustworthy.
• Trying to schedule or reschedule a
meeting last-minute is not
appreciated, and could be seen as a
sign of disrespect.

Feedback and Praise
When expressing disagreement, use careful language, for e.g., “I see your point, and while I agree with some of what you have said, I have the impression …”
