For communication-driven DSS, not recognizing the cultural sensitivities can be a
major obstacle, in addition to the differences in electronic communication facilities and the
telecom infrastructure of various countries. On the other hand, in the case of data-driven
DSS, being able to properly transform decision-support data across currency and other
measurement units should be the highest priority. For document and knowledge-driven
DSS, familiarity with the cultural contexts and also the legal landscapes while interpreting
the explicit documents and/or tacit knowledge is an important consideration.
