In cultures where context sensitivity is high, businesspeople a. perceive cultural differences in the context of time. b. stress the surrounding circumstances in communication. c. prefer predictable and certain consequences. d. attach importance to the trappings of ceremony. e. assume a long-term context in discussions.

It would only be wise to assume a long term context in any business relation when operating in this type of culture. Not communicating inside the context which has been built will surely confuse and likely insult the other party.

Public policies are primarily involuntary and compulsory actions while private actions are voluntary.

Explanation:

The difference between a public policy and private action is that public policies are primarily involuntary and compulsory actions while private actions are voluntary.As we know public policies are made by the government, therefore, they are mandatory actions that every organization, individuals, firms, etc. should adhere to. On the other hand, private actions pertain only to those group of interested organization, individuals, firms, etc.For example, when a public policy that establishes that every private enterprise must provide medical reimbursement to its employees, it becomes mandatory for all private enterprise to adhere to it.However, in case of a private action, there are no such collective establishments/rules that every organization, individuals, firms, etc.must adhere. Every action undertaken by a private party are voluntary and only those interested follow them.
