Many Americans think that because they re from around here they know everything there is to know about doing business in America. If it s important to learn about the cultures of other countries, it is even more important to know how to relate to the people in your own offices and factories.
Culture shapes the way people do things.
Its rituals tell us how to do everything from crossing streets to ordering meals. We do most things in Pueblo about the same way we do in other American cities, but there are a few things we may do differently. For example, Pueblo s business dress code may be a bit more relaxed than that of New York City or Los Angeles. If cities have cultures, so do businesses. These may be helpful, harmful or somewhere in-between.
