Discussion in detail the apparent differences between USA and Mexico by Hofstede

theory, main focus in terms of the following aspects:

Communication Between USA and Mexico:

Mexico is considered to be a high context culture. While USA is considered to be a low

context culture. Some of example is define in below:

Indirect Communication: Mexicans communicate mostly via indirect means. They seldom
make straightforward refusals or convey sensitive information in an obnoxious manner. This
is seen as disrespectful. Rather than that, they use a long-winded, circumspect approach to
carefully and gently expressing their views in order to prevent friction or confrontation. This
entails employing more delicate, diplomatic terms to deliver a negative response in a more
compassionate manner. For instance, they may say they will "see what I can do" rather of just
saying "no." (Mexican culture, cultural atlas)

Direct Communication: Americans are quite straightforward in their communication. They

often communicate their whole message orally, with little regard for body language.
Individuals are supposed to 'go straight to the point.' This is not to say that Americans
disregard courtesy in communication, but it does mean that they may occasionally overlook
nuances (such as understatement) in conversation or certain types of humour (for example,
subtle sarcasm or ironic statements). (American culture, culture atlas)

In Mexico cultures, it is seldom essential to make implicit signals explicit when they can be
deduced from context or common sense. One way this manifests itself is in the many ways in
which individuals avoid saying "no" directly to an invitation or when something is presented.
In general, the word "no" is quite harsh, even unpleasant, and there are several methods to
communicate this without really saying "no."

While USA Cultures regard time and communication as more linear and will always prefer to
convey desires, needs, and expectations plainly, assuming others would do the same. They
prioritise efficiency and strive to constantly carry out tasks in the most orderly and practical
manner possible, and may get disoriented or fail to grasp the convoluted manner in which
individuals from high context cultures communicate.
Hence, that’s why Mark Bieber was failed due to has no information about Mexico
culture in communication.

LEADERSHIP STYLE:

As is often the case in highly hierarchical societies, the leadership style is paternalistic.
This is not to say that orders may be delivered to subordinates without regard for their
evolved sense of honour. A good manager blends an authoritative style with a genuine
care for his or her workers' well-being and dignity. Managers should use authority but not
authoritarianism. It is critical to demonstrate that you are in charge while maintaining a
warm, personal touch.

the US culture is fairly restrained by nature, but Mexico has a strong proclivity towards
indulgence. Within a US American firm, workers and management often place little value
on leisure time and suppress their emotions in a working setting. On the other hand,
Mexicans place a higher premium on leisure time and are typically more likely to follow
their instincts and wants.

WORKING RELATUINSHIP:

Working relationship is very important in Mexican, to upgrade or move forward your

company. After establishing a relationship based on mutual trust, it is usual to finish
sessions with a lunch or supper. At this stage, it is critical to set aside the subject of
conducting business in Mexico in order to build personal confidence and knowledge.
While in USA, do not believe on working relationship in a company. so, Mark Bieber did
not engage with other people in company.

TIME ORIENTATION:

 The Latin culture, in general, has a bad reputation for being late for appointments;
contrast, American businesses have a very precise sense of time. Mexican businesspeople
often cancel meetings. According to Sánchez (2012), "although being on time for an
American entail arriving precisely at the agreed upon time, being on time for a Mexican
entails a window of around twenty to thirty minutes." (The Mexican and American
Business Cultures). It takes time to develop a connection with a Mexican. This is because
the society as a whole is suspicious of foreigners. To earn your prospective Mexican
business partner's trust, you must keep an open channel of communication and be
consistently respectful.
RISK TAKING PROPENSITY:

Risk taking is a natural element of life, although individuals vary in their risk-taking
proclivity. Some individuals like dangerous endeavours, while others despise them.

In USA culture, they believe individualism and can make risk in all aspects. Because they
work for own self. Another aspect Mexico culturally believe on collectivism and the
family elder can make the whole family decision due to their deep relation with family.so
Mark Bieber took decision by his own and the rest of company did not could not make
decision due to their culturally background.

DECISION MAKING PROCESS:

The Mexican corporate environment, like the United States, features hierarchical
hierarchies. It is critical to create a connection with the person who has the ultimate
power inside a firm in order to accomplish tasks. Mexico's decision-making tends to be
extremely centralised.

In Mexican culture, they collectively doing everything as a family as well as business,

decision making. but in USA they believe in individualism. everything can be done by its
own head as well as starting new business or decision making.

SUMMARY:

By examining the United States culture in contrast to Mexico through the lens of
Hofstede's cultural insights, we can observe that the largest distinctions are in
Individualism, Power Distance, and Uncertainty Avoidance, with a lesser gap in
Indulgence. If you are familiar with Mexican culture, you will notice that they are proud
in "groups," in other words, they are proud of their culture and what they have done,
rather than their individual achievements.

Finally, this has a detrimental effect on the pace of talks by introducing intermediate
phases into the closure process. In summary, the two primary distinctions are
individualism and the phases of negotiation that are impacted by the cultural demands.
