Passage 2 American executives like to get right down to business and engage in fast and tough face- to-face bargaining. However,
Japanese and other Asian businesspeople often find this behavior offensive. They prefer to start with polite conversation, and they rarely say no in face-to-face conversations. As another example, South Americans like to sit or stand very close to each other when they talk business-in fact, almost nose-to-nose. The American business executive tends to keep backing away as the South American moves closer. -Gary Armstrong and Philip Kotler, Marketing: An Introduction, 10th Ed., © 2011.
