Las diferencias culturales entre México y Corea en el ámbito de los negocios

Abstract

In this article, the author analyzes how the cultural differences between Mexicans and Koreans influence communication in the work sphere. In particular, in the area of business, cultural differences acquire great importance because the lack of knowledge about each culture’s value systems may cause problems and misunderstandings. The differences that affect intercultural communication at work are numerous and they are framed in areas related to hierarchy, individualism and collectivity, attitude toward work, orientation in time, communication style, frankness and ethnocentrism.
