Analyze the situation. Adjust your decision-making approach to the national culture you’re operating in and to the criteria your organization evaluates and rewards.

If you’re in a country that doesn’t value rationality, don’t feel compelled to follow the rational decision-making model or to try to make your decisions appear rational.

Similarly, organizations differ in the importance they place on risk, the use of groups, and the like. Adjust your decision approach to ensure it’s compatible with the organization’s culture.
