Attitude toward Conflict

Case Study:
One of Canada's leading banks invited a delegation from (Bolivia) for dinner. The Canadian host chose to share his hosting responsibilities with a colleague. The dinner was not a success. Both the (Bolivians) and the Canadians remained relatively uneasy throughout the meal. During the dinner, no welcoming speeches or toasts to mutual health were made. At the end of the meal, (Bolivians) stood up, thanked the bank officials, declined a ride back to their hotel, and left feeling slighted. The Canadians also felt upset. They found the departure of (Bolivians) to be very abrupt, yet they did not know what they had done wrong. Despite planning the menu carefully, providing excellent translation services, and extending normal Canadian courtesies, the Canadians knew something had gone wrong; they were worried and somewhat hurt by the lack of rapport.
