Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that the Tunisian textile exporters spend time chatting about personal matters indicates that they come from a high-context culture, which places a strong emphasis on building personal relationships and finding common ground before entering into business discussions. This is often in contrast to low-context cultures, where business is conducted in a more direct and formal manner.
