- Why do executives and managers spend more time listening than do workers? Why or why not?
- What arguments could you give for or against the idea that body language is a science with principles that can be interpreted accurately by specialists?
- Consider potential culture clashes in typical business situations. Imagine that businesspeople from a high-context culture, say, Japan or China, meet their counterparts from a low-context culture, the United States, for the first time to negotiate and sign a manufacturing contract. What could go wrong? How about conflicting perceptions of time?
- A stereotype is an oversimplified perception of a behavioral pattern or characteristic applied to entire groups.

In what way are such stereotypes harmless or harmful?
