building repore or getting to know your customers via hockey suites or playing golf is normal business practices to me. Heck, the stuff the pharma guys do is borderline unethical. However, for most part, North American business is competitive as heck where everyone is looking for an edge, but for the most part, play pretty above board. Asian business seems to start with the corrupt route or "how can I benefit personally Vs the company" mentality first. It is a huge difference imo.
