Answer to Question 1

Answer: D
Explanation: D) In low-context cultures, businesspeople tend to focus on the results of the decisions they face, a reflection of the cultural emphasis on logic and progress. In comparison, higher-context cultures emphasize the means or the method by which a decision will be made. Building or protecting relationships can be as important as the facts and information used in making the decisions.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) While a manager from a U.S. company would tend to view a signed contract as the end of the negotiating process, with all the details hammered out, his or her counterpart in many Asian cultures might view the signed contract as an agreement to do businessand only then begin to negotiate the details of the deal. Legal issues vary by country, and this is least likely to ensure an ethical message.
