Communication is fundamental in business, because business is a
collaborative activity. When business negotiators come from cultures with
different rules, communication problems may arise. The diversity among business
cultures can frequently lead to confusion, misunderstandings, and failures in
cross-cultural commercial endeavours. Thus, developing effective business
communication skills for a globalized economy is not a simple matter. In this
paper will be analysed some common cross-cultural issues for those
entrepreneurs developing relationships with individuals or businesses from
different cultural backgrounds: Not understanding how formality, hierarchy and
timing can affect business. These things have a tremendous impact on
negotiations and decision-making. Business often takes longer with different
cultures and countries. Many cultures are more team-focused or “we” oriented.
These can really impact the business style. In this paper will be examined the
case of the United Arab Emirates that is known to be a multicultural country.
