This, in fact, is one of the great fallacies of international organizations. Failure to notice and work within the context of cultural norms condemns an organization very quickly. In Italy, I was far more likely to take business partners to long elaborate meals than I would be in California. Please, can we at least acknowledge that it's not as simplistic as you present it here?
