For the Swedes, business is done with a company; for the Saudis, with a person whom one has learned to know and trust.

At the root of the difference between these cultures is a fundamental issue in human societies: the role of the individual versus the role of the group.在这个真实的故事里,瑞典人和沙特人对人际关系在商业中的作用有着不同的理解。对瑞典人来说,他们是在和一个公司做生意;但对沙特人来说,他们是在和一个他们了解并且信任的人做生意。只要他们对某个人还不够了解,就会让一位双方都认识并信任的中间人或介绍人在场,这样做会比较方便。这两种文化的差异源于人类社会的一个根本问题:即个人角色与集体角色的问题。7 Translate
