However, its not always this straight forward….
• In 2005, McDonalds had to withdraw a TV commercial in Shanghais following complaints that images attacked Chinese people’s dignity.
• The commercial showed a man kneeling before the clerk and begging for a discount at a local store. It then shifted its focus to McDonalds with the message that McDonalds offered cheap meals all year-round and there was no need to beg for coupons or discounts.
• In Chinese culture, begging is humiliating and many felt the commercial was offensive.

Arab World Quiz Question
When formalizing a deal in the Middle East, it is imperative to:
1. Determine that the contract is iron clad with strict attention to jurisdictional issues of international law to secure a just outcome should there be conflict
2. Solidify the interpersonal trust relationship as this rapport is critical both during the deal and if conflict develops
3. Retain legal counsel in the country in which the business undertakings will primarily take place and ensure that this attorney has a golfing relationship with most members of the judiciary.
