Document Summary

High: east asian, latin americans, african, and arab: do not like literal interpretations and all that matters is the context of message, long meetings allow relationships to grow, pay attention to age/rank of communicator since seniority is highly valued, want to know about you and what your company represents. Low: na, australia, northern europe, and scandinavia: more meaning in message than context, straight talk , get to the point quickly, young fast trackers exceed, detailed business contracts. Chats have increased number of ideas generated and increase amount groups talk: shy people more likely to share ideas, status differences removed, however, do perform more poorly than face to face groups, make less effective decisions and have less satisfied members, develop trust and increased cooperation over time, can lead to rude and impulse messages, hard to differentiate whether sent by man or women.
