There is no better arena for observing a culture in action than business. Cultures tend to
reveal themselves in situations where much is as stake, because it is here that their
resources are most needed. Marriage, family obligations, and such stressful experiences
as illness and the death of a loved one bring out much of what is distinctive and
fundamental in a culture. The same is true of business, because economic survival is at
stake. Business practices are shaped by deeply-held cultural attitudes toward work,
power, trust, wealth—and communication.
