In order to increase their chance for success, managers need to develop their awareness of and sensitivity to other cultures. They can do this by educating themselves. Gathering some basic research on another culture can be instructive. In addition, managers should consider the information they gather to determine if it perpetuates unwarranted stereotypes, covers only limited facets of a country and its culture, or relies on outdated data. Managers should also observe the behavior of those people who have garnered the kind of respect and confidence they themselves will need.
