Cultural Values And Values

There are many differences among cultures in the modern world. Certain cultures hold high regard for specific values and distaste for other values. This difference in values can effect international business positively. Generosity, strong work ethic, and respectfulness are three values that my family has taught me. Each value has also been shaped by the culture in which I live in. Each value has had a strong impact on how I live my life and has shaped my perspectives, abilities, and qualities.

The value of strong relationships would keep China loyal to business affairs with the U.S. The value of harmony would not necessarily contribute to international business affairs but wouldn’t directly harm it either. The value of reputation would keep the Chinese from becoming disinterested in business with the U.S. by their desire to maintain a good
