7.Do'sandTaboos:CulturalAspectsofInternationalBusiness

—ByM.KatherineGlover

Understandingandheedingculturalvariablesisoneofthemostsignificantaspectsofbeingsuccessfulinanyinternationalbusinessendeavor.Alackoffamiliaritywiththebusinesspractices,socialcustoms,andetiquetteofacountrycanweakenacompany'spositioninthemarket,preventitfromaccomplishingitsobjectives,andultimatelyleadtofailure.

Asbusinesshasbecomeincreasinglyinternationalandcommunicationstechnologycontinuestodevelop,theneedforclearlyunderstoodcommunicationbetweenmembersofdifferentculturesisevenmorecrucial.

Growingcompetitionforinternationalmarketsisanotherreasonthatcompaniesmustconsiderculturaldistinctions.AsSecretaryofCommerceRobertMosbacherindicated,"Americancompanieshavetorelyonallavailabletacticsforwinningintheglobalmarketplacetoday.Learninginternationalbusinessdiplomacyshouldbethefirststeptheytake."

Customsvarywidelyfromonecountrytoanother.Somethingwithonemeaninginoneareamaymeantheoppositesomewhereelse.Someoftheculturaldistinctionsthatfirmsmostoftenfaceincludedifferencesinbusinessstyles,attitudestowardsdevelopmentofbusinessrelationships,attitudestowardspunctuality,negotiatingstyles,gift-givingcustoms,greetings,significanceofgestures,meaningsofcolorsandnumbers,andcustomsregardingtitles.

Americanfirmsmustpaycloseattentiontodifferentstylesofdoingbusinessandthedegreeofimportanceplacedondevelopingbusinessrelationships.Insomecountries,businesspeoplehaveaverydirectstyle,whileinotherstheyaremuchmoresubtleinstyle.ManynationalitiesvaluethepersonalrelationshipmorethanmostAmericansdoinbusiness.Inthesecountries,long-termrelationshipsbasedontrustarenecessaryfordoingbusiness.ManyU.S.firmsmakethemistakeofrushingintobusinessdiscussionsand"comingontoostrong"insteadofnurturingtherelationshipfirst.AccordingtoRogerAxtellinhisbookDo'sandTaboosofHostingInternationalVisitors,"Thereismuchmoretobusinessthanjustbusinessinmanypartsoftheworld.Socializing,friendships,etiquette,grace,andpatienceareintegralpartsofbusiness.Jumpingrightintobusinessdiscussionsbeforeaget-acquaintedinterludecanbeabadmistake."

POINTINGATWORDS

Afaultthatisoftenseenwhenstudentsaretryingtoconcentrateispointingtothewordswithafinger,pencilorruler.Youngchildrenandverypoorreadersoftenpointwithafingerateachwordinturn.Slightlymorematurereaderssometimesholdapencilorrulerunderneaththelinewhichtheyarereading.Whilemarkingthelinemightbehelpfulforbeginningreaders,itiscertainlyunnecessaryfornormalreaders.Besidesslowingdownthereaderthroughthemeremechanicalmovementofpencil,ruler,orfinger,pointingatlinesorwordstendstocausethestudenttofocushisattentiononthewrongthing.Theimportantthingtoconcentrateonwhilereadingistheideathattheauthoristryingtocommunicate,andnotthelocationofthewordsonthepage.Theeyesofanychildoldenoughtolearnhowtoreadarecertainlyskillfulenoughtobeabletofollowalineofprintwithoutextrahelpfromfingersorrulers.

Anothercommonfaultthatiseasilyobservedisheadmovement.Thismostoftenoccurswhenstudentsarenervousabouttheirreadingortryinghard,asduringareadingspeedtest.Withheadmovementthestudenttriestoaimhisnoseatthewordheisreadingsothatashereadsacrossthelinehisheadturnsslightly.Whenhemakesthereturnsweeptobeginanewlinehisheadquicklyturnsbacksothathisnoseispointedattheleft-handmargin,andhecannowbegintoreadthenewlinebyslowlyturninghishead.Thebeliefthatthisheadmovementaidsreadingispurenonsense.Eyemusclesarequitecapableofshiftingtheeyesfromwordtoword,andthe)'neednohelpfromneckmuscles.

Oftenstudentsarequiteunawarethattheyaremovingtheirheadswhilereadingandtheyneedtoberemindedbytheteachernottodo-it.

VOCALIZATION

Vocalizationisanotherfault.Somepoorreadersthinkitnecessarytopronouncealoudeachwordasitisread.Usuallythispronunciationisquitesoft,sothatthestudentismorewhisperingtohimselfthanactuallyreadingaloud,buteventhisisveryundesirable.Thechiefdisadvantageofpronouncingwordswhileyoureadthemisthatittendstotiereading'speedtospeakingspeed,andthesilentreadingofmostnormalreadersisnearlytwiceasfastastheirspeaking.Usuallythisfaultcanbeeliminatedinolderstudentsbytheirownconsciouseffort,possiblywiththeaidofafewremindersfromtheteacher.
