The document discusses cross-cultural decision making. It notes that culture shapes values and behaviors, and differences can emerge when people from different cultures interact. Decision making processes also vary across cultures. There are two main types: programmed, which relies on precedent, and non-programmed, which analyzes current data. Western cultures typically use a six-step process involving defining problems, criteria, options, evaluation, selection and implementation. Key problems in cross-cultural decision making include reconciling conflicting demands and defining individuals' motivation levels.
