Culture Iceberg • The upper part is relatively easy to observe(10%). • It is the hidden part of culture that causes us the most problems when we try to work with someone from another culture (90% lies below the surface). • Values and beliefs are the core of our decision-making process. We act based upon our values. Different cultures have different value priorities. 2006 PAX/ Angela Shin-yih Chen
