  • Early signs of the shift abound. Walt Disney (DIS), investment bank Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein, and scores of other companies use wikis, or group-editable Web pages, to turbo-charge collaboration. Other firms are using button-down social-networking services such as LinkedIn and Visible Path to dig up sales leads and hiring prospects from the collective contacts of colleagues. Corporate blogging is becoming nearly a cliché, as executives from Sun Microsystems (SUNW) chief executive Jonathan Schwartz to General Motors (GM) Vice-Chairman Bob Lutz post on their own blogs to communicate directly with customers.

argentina culture

  • Unlike the people in other areas of Hispanic America, Argentines are mostly of European origin.
  • Between the 1850s and 1940, more than 3.5 million immigrants arrived in Argentina, about 45 percent of them from Italy and 32 percent from Spain. Prior to the 1960s, substantial numbers also came from Britain, Germany, France, Switzerland, Scandinavia, Poland, Russia, Wales, the middle East, and Japan. Spanish is the official language and is spoken universally, but a number of Argentines also speak English, Italian, German, French, or Native American languages (Guarani, Quechua, Mapuche, etc.). Despite the mix of ancestries and languages, Argentines are fiercely nationalistic.
  • Approximately 90 percent of the population is nominally Roman Catholic.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • They place a premium on not offending.
  • Argentines can express their concern for others with gauchadas, Gaucho-like acts of generosity, such as going out of one's way to help someone else solve a problem.
  • Argentines place a high value on individuality. One of the most vibrant symbols of the past which is supposed to represent the national character is the Gaucho -that near-mythical legendary historical plainsman who is independent, brave, athletic, a bold warrior, loyal, and generous. The Gaucho is the idealized version of a complex historical figure who has become etched into the Argentine consciousness.
  • Argentines are generally well informed about politics and economic policies, and they take great interest and pride in discussing them.
