Various Web sites list cultural blunders or faux pas (false steps) people make in their international interactions. Neglecting to develop relationships (as in “Just sign the contract, I’m in a hurry!”) and making too-casual use of first names (as in “Just call me Bill!”) are examples of such blunders. Research online sources such as International Education Systems (www.marybosrock.com) or simply by entering “cultural blunders” in an Internet search engine, to identify examples of improper cultural behaviors. How can managers avoid these errors?
