Abstract

In global business, cultural differences influence effective communication and any misunderstanding may directly affect business relationships. Therefore, countries of different cultural backgrounds should aim to understand each other. This thesis is a guide for Belizean and Taiwanese corporations and individuals who intend to work or do business in Belize. Qualitative research, interviews, is used to gather information to support or disprove theoretical research from Hofstede and Lewis mentioned in this study. The findings show the explanations of cultural differences and similarities between Belize and Taiwan, as well as suggestions for breaking cultural barriers between them. The results collected can inform readers on Belizean and Taiwanese culture, and therefore, be applied to the Belizean and Taiwanese business community
