I recall a practice question where we talked about how legal systems impact negotiations. So, I think B could be the answer here, but I'm not completely confident.

I feel like environment could be a tricky one too. It might influence negotiations, but it doesn't seem as directly related to culture as religion or belief.
JO

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember discussing how financial systems can vary greatly across cultures. Maybe that's why it's not considered a cross-cultural factor?
SH
Sherell 7 months ago
I think the legal system might be the one that doesn't fit as a cross-cultural factor. It seems more about the structure of a country rather than culture itself.
