Learning to set-aside pre-conceived notions about what one thinks typifies a culture is key. Doors and more-importantly, heart open and relationships bloom! It truly is an amazing insight, Steve.

The theme of how similar we are, beyond cultural attributes, is much grander than its business implications. Most books on cross-cultural approaches to business miss this point and it ought to be stressed vigorously. There’s a broader message here.

Wars are caused because we think that people in distant countries have different values than us. Maybe we're just not looking past their veils. Something to consider. Great post.

Most of the scholarship on this subject focuses at the differences rather than the similarities between people. You've given me something to think about...again. Please recommend more books on this subject. Lil Steve,

Another unique take from you. Most of the scholarship on this subject focuses at the differences rather than the similarities between people. You’ve given me something to think about…again. Please recommend more books on this subject.

Due to the expansive reach of the internet, any one of us could find ourselves doing business with individuals or companies in other countries at any time. Underneath, we are all human beings - flesh and blood, with a heart and a mind - despite the oceans or borders that may separate us. Those with a lack of experience in global markets can benefit greatly from your cultural knowledge and insight. Any successful marketer I have ever met has inevitably attributed their gain to the same principles - you must listen to the prospective customer or client, identify their need, then present them with innovative ways in which you can help them fill it. Another well-written, eye opening piece, and that feature photo is both elegant and captivating. Thank you for your vision as always, ~ Lisa Steve,
