while low context = western orientation and more specifc??

It is just a guide lar. With this guides, we can understand the different cultures better mah. Someone ought to do some research and put their observation so that the rest can think and perhaps help to be more culturally competant mah. Not everybody has not abilities and skill to be effective in adapting to the different cultures.Originally posted by ben1xy:i dun believe in the relevance of disecting a country across value dimensions. understading the mean scores doesnt tell u much imo.

During lecture or tutorial they always like to give case studies right? Why certain business negotiations buang .. haha maybe they never take the module that's why.Originally posted by happyharvest:It is just a guide lar. With this guides, we can understand the different cultures better mah. -
The problem lies with the head. So the head is lousy and so must take the module lo. But if the head is lousy, he/she is lousy in applying the theory. So dun take better. In the end , still buang.Originally posted by Icemoon:During lecture or tutorial they always like to give case studies right?
