Answer to Question 1

International sales management uses a variety of different compensation systems to pay salespeople. Some salespeople are paid a sales commission, which is based on a percentage of sales the employee makes. Salespeople can also work for a straight salary, which provides an incentive to stay with a company. Many industrial sales positions combine a base salary with sales commissions.

Answer to Question 2

International marketers must be careful when using humor in their ads because what one culture finds humorous, other cultures may not. Humor also needs to fit the product's image; a sophisticated product may suffer from a broadly humorous ad. In some cultures, marketers must also beware of directly emphasizing why someone should purchase a product; this can be seen as arrogant.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. 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.
