Another reason to brush up on your Mandarin Chinese?
As a follow-up to my post on cultural barriers to contract formation, the Small Business Times reported that Wisconsin officially topped a billion dollars of exports to China. Well done! Further, out of the top five nations to which exports are sent, three of those nations are non-english speaking - 3.8 billion dollars of exports in Wisconsin are affected by significant language and cultural barriers. Perhaps it is time for all of us Wisconsin business attorneys to buy some language software and diversify our tongues?
