For example, in a high-context culture, a person may need to get to know a negotiating partner as a person before proceeding to business. In low-context cultures, written and spoken words carry the burden of shared meanings. So when negotiating with a person from a low-context culture, you can expect that the person will want to see a written formal agreement early in the process as a reference.
