This document discusses cultural differences between Americans and other cultures in business settings. It notes that Americans may go around issues instead of directly addressing the main point, use "yes" to mean "maybe", want to build personal friendships at work rather than just being coworkers, often look for exceptions to rules, and see time as limited. It encourages sharing experiences working with different cultures and includes quotes about culture residing in people's hearts and how acceptance of differences is important.
