Why so different?
EUROPE ASIA

Behavior overrides dress code
Aggressiveness largely derives from the Western value of “I have a right to…”
Friendliness largely derives from the Asian value of harmony

Emphasis on using peaceful means to achieve what’s best for their people• Less is MORE
Tendency toward sugar-coating and packaging
Tendency toward down-to-earth• Make a point directly• Less sugar-coating
