Answer to Question 1

Cross-cultural risk is posed by differences in language, lifestyles, mindsets, customs, and religion. Values unique to a culture tend to be long-lasting and transmitted from one generation to the next. These values influence the mindset and work style of employees and the shopping patterns of buyers. Foreign customer characteristics differ significantly from those of buyers in the home market.

Language is a window on people's value systems and living conditions. Miscommunication due to cultural differences gives rise to inappropriate business strategies and ineffective relations with customers.

Answer to Question 2

A

It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
