Low context and High context communication

High-context culture rely on implicit nonverbal actions & environmental setting to convey meanings,unlike low-context cultures,which rely heavily on explicit verbal communication.

Low-context cultures concentrate on every detail of a decision,whereas high-context cultures build relationships & trust.

Low-context cultures encourage open disagreement,whereas high-context cultures avoid conformation & debate.

Low-context cultures view negotiations impersonally as a series of problems to be overcome. High-context cultures emphasize harmony & agreement to be worked out.

Low-context cultures tend to value written agreements & interpret laws

strictly,whereas high-context cultures view adherence to laws as being more

flexible.
