· Do you think the impact of cultural diversity is positive or negative? What, if anything, can management do mitigate any negative impact or build upon a positive impact?

· In your opinion, should the "outsider" change his/her behavior or should the "local" work to be understanding?

· When looking at language and communication as they apply to international management, which do you see as more important – language or communication? Should business people be fluent in a second language?

· How does understanding the communications context of countries impact our business relationships and meetings?

· Why would this be important to negotiations and other business transactions?
