I. High and Low Context Cultures F High Context Cultures (Japan, Saudi Arabia) –Meaning of individual behavior and speed changes depending on the situation –Nonverbal messages full of important and intended meanings, subtle –Important to “read between the lines”

I. High and Low Context Cultures F Low Context Cultures (USA) –Intentions are expressed verbally, directly –Situation is not allowed to change the meaning of words and behavior –Straight talk

Silent Languages F Five different silent languages –Time –Space –Material possessions –Friendship patterns (reciprocity) –Agreements (emphasis on legal contracts) F All have important economic implications

II. Hofstede’s Model F Power Distance: tolerance of inequalities of intellectual and physical capabilities F Individualism versus collectivism: relationship between individual and his or her fellows

II. Hofstede’s Model F Uncertainty avoidance: acceptance of ambiguous situations and tolerance of uncertainty. F Masculinity versus femininity: identification of gender and work roles (Japan - HI; Sweden - LO) F Confucian Dynamics: long term vs short term orientation
