Can someone explain to me the idiosyncratic concepts that are specific to Latino culture? China has "guanxi" or "relationships/connections" and "face" and they're pretty important. While we're here, I'd be interested to learn these for really any culture.

Agreed. Very transactional instead of relationship oriented, a culture created, imho, by a reliable court system. I haven't worked with too many cultures/countries but I would say the following about American business culture (big overlap with anglo-saxon):
1. Analysis paralysis. Very slow decision-making 2. Love of endless meetings 3. Less focus on price than other factors compared to other countries It also varies a lot according to where in the US you are. Southern business feels very different to me from business in Northeast.
