Which of the following would be least helpful when developing ethical messages in an international work environment?
A) Seek mutual ground
B) Send and receive messages without judgment
C) Have the legal department ensure the validity of a contract
D) Send messages that are honest
E) Show respect for cultural differences
Answer: C
Explanation: C) While a manager from a U.S. company would tend to view a signed contract as the end of the negotiating process, with all the details hammered out, his or her counterpart in many Asian cultures might view the signed contract as an agreement to do business–and only then begin to negotiate the details of the deal. Legal issues vary by country, and this is least likely to ensure an ethical message.
