  4. Classifying Cultures • Time Orientation • Formality • Power Distance • Individualism • Collectivism • Context

  5. Cultural Dimensions • Time orientation refers to the focus on time. • Formality refers to pomp and ceremony, tradition, and formal rules. • Power distance refers to the degree of social stratification embedded and accepted. • Context refers to the degree to which the context or situation and individuals affect behavior and meaning.

  6. Cultural Time Orientation • Eastern cultures tend toward a lesser time focus than do Western cultures. • Cultures more formal than the United States include Latin America, the Middle East, the Far East, and Southern Europe.

  7. Cultural Power Distance • Countries with relatively high power distance tolerance include Mexico, South Korea, Japan, India, Pakistan, Thailand, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, and South Africa. • Countries with low power distance include United States, Great Britain, Canada, Austria, Finland, Norway, Ireland, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, and Israel.

  8. Cultural Context • Countries where context highly affects communication—high-context cultures—include China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Arabia, Greece, Spain, and Italy. • Countries with low-context cultures include United States, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Scandinavia, and Great Britain.

  9. Collectivism/Individualism • Collectivist cultures include Japan, Denmark, and Singapore. • Individualist cultures include Greece, Germany, Hungary, Egypt, Hong Kong, and North American countries.

  10. Culture and Personality Development • Emphasis on time may relate to Type A behavior. • Low-context culture may relate to internal locus of control. • High-context culture may relate to external locus of control. • High-context culture may relate to intuiting. • Culture may affect power orientation.

  11. Cultural Differences in Negotiating • Cultural sensitivity will enhance negotiation effectiveness. • Expectations, semantics, connotation, and tone are important and may facilitate or frustrate communication. • Time focus in formal and in high-context cultures may be insulting. • Spatial boundaries, contact, gift-giving, and dress vary across cultures. • Goals may vary dramatically between individualistic versus collectivist cultures. • Face saving is important everywhere!

  12. Gender Differences in Negotiation • Men may use language to increase status or control. • Women may use language for connection. • Men may tend to dominate conversation with women. • Men underestimate women in negotiation at their peril!
