7 Tips For Avoiding Cultural Misunderstandings

When you're in international business, it's important to know the cultural differences between countries and cultures. Some cultures are informal and respond well to a chatty, friendly approach, others are more formal and expect business conversations to be based on respect and a professional persona. You mostly feel these differences in a meeting or a phone call. To avoid any cultural misunderstandings in your business, you need to educate yourself before going into each country. Cross-cultural communication takes work and the time spent in learning what is expected – and what you can expect – will pay off in successful negotiations.
