What are the rules?

Cross-cultural communication means clear and successful dealings with associates and partners from other cultures. Each culture has its own values, communication styles and norms, as well as concepts of what is appropriate or unacceptable. This means different rules of the game! Playing according to the rules you know may be completely ineffective, if not worse. The other culture takes different rules for granted, which are so entrenched and obvious that they are often not verbalized or even in conscious awareness. No one can win a game if they are playing by different rules.
