Answer to Question 1

Answer: Strategies for writing multicultural messages include using simple, clear English; being brief; using transitional elements; addressing international correspondence properly; and citing numbers and dates carefully. It is also important to avoid slang, idioms, and humor.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: One strategy is to understand social customs regarding issues such as common ways of greeting others: Should you bow or shake hands? It is also helpful to learn about clothing and food preferences that characterize the culture in which you'll work. Doing so requires finding out (among other things) which occasions require special clothing, how many times a day people eat, and so forth. Other strategies include assessing political patterns, understanding religious and folk beliefs, learning about business institutions, and appraising the nature of ethics, values, and laws.
