Only relatively recently have business people came to realize that anthropologists have useful knowledge to contribute, particularly with regard to the globalization of trade, the increase in international investments and joint ventures, and the spread of multinational corporations. What can anthropology offer One of the most important contributions of anthropology is understanding how much culture can influence relationships between people of different cultures. For example, anthropologists know that communication is much more than the formal understanding of another language. People in some countries, such as the United States, expect explicit, straight forward
verbal messages, but people in other countries are more indirect in their verbal messages. In Japan and China, for example, negative messages are less likely than messges expressing politeness and harmony. Many eastern cultures have ways of saying no without saying the word.
It is also important to understand that different cultures may have different values. People in the United States place a high value on the individual. The importance of relationships with others may take precedence over individual needs in other places. People in the United States emphasize the future, youth, informality, and competitiveness, but in other societies the emphases are often the opposite. In any business arrangement, perhaps no difference is as salient as the value of culture places on time. As we say, "Time is money." If a meeting is arranged and the other person is late, say, 45 minutes people from the United States consider it rude but such a delay is well within the range of acceptable behaviour in many south American countries.
Anthropologists have helped busineses become aware of their own "cultures" (some times referred to as organisational cultures). The organizational culture of a business may interfere with the acceptance of new kinds of workers or it may interfere with changing business needs. If parts of that culture need to be changed, it is necessary first to identify what the culture involves and to understand how and why it developed the way it did. Anthropologists know how to identify cultural patterns on the basis of systematic observation and interviewing of individuals.
