What would have been the most appropriate attitude for the Germans to adopt? Explain your choice
The only solution for good communication for the ‘linear-active’ Germans should have been to make some concessions towards extroversion. Many find this difficult, even painful, but the rewards for doing so can be considerable. If people keep their distance, just like the Germans did in Riyadh, the Arabs will think that their own physical presence is considered distasteful, or that these people are cold individuals. Arabs speak volubly and earnestly to someone they like, so the contracting party should have also attempted to do the same. When talking business with Arabs, one must always do so against an intensely personal background.
