Communication can essentially be divided into two categories-, the written and the spoken.
How the balance is struck between these two forms of communication—the point at which one needs to be exchanged for another—really depends on individual cultures.
Understanding when it’s appropriate to exchange one form for another can be a major key to success in international business.
Many cultures place a much greater value on the spoken word than the American working culture does.
In parts of the Middle East, you’ll find spoken word agreements are seen as seriously binding. A person’s word is linked to their honor, so verbal agreements are seen as important, whereas written contracts are taken as memos of understanding.
Western working culture tends to place a high value on the written word, and this reaches its highest level of intensity when it comes to contracts
. In the US, France and Germany, written contracts tend to be seen as something that must be strictly carried out.
By contrast, other cultures may not see written contracts as quite so binding
. It can prove a challenge to Western businesses if your business partner wants to renegotiate terms that you thought were already agreed on.
For example, a Japanese firm may have signed a contract, but they may not feel bound by every detail of it—particularly if circumstances later change.
Such differences in value that different working cultures place on the written word tend to cause many problems when it comes to business relationships.
22. What is a major key to success in international business according to the passage?
23. What does the passage say about spoken word agreements in some Middle East countries?
24. What do we learn about the Western working culture?
25. How does a Japanese firm tend to view a written contract?
选项
A、Its details cannot be renegotiated.
B、It has to be carried out to the letter.
C、It strengthens business partnerships.
D、Its terms may not be strictly binding.
答案
D
解析
细节推断题。短文中提到,有些文化中,书面合同条款可能没有严格的约束力,并举例一家日本公司已经签订了一份合同,但他们可能不会被合同的每一个细节所约束,尤其是在后来情况发生变化的情况下。由此可见,日本公司认为合同条款可能没有严格的约束力。因此,答案为D)。
