Spanish

Bueno, en el Perú, como en muchos países latinos, es muy importante, consideramos bastante importante el conocer a la persona con quien vamos a hacer negocios. Muchas veces es más importante saber de la honestidad de la persona que de los conocimientos que ella tiene del tema que se está tratando. No consideramos muchas veces la aptitud de la persona en el tema que se va a tratar, es más el conocido, el familiar, es más importante que el conocimiento que la persona tiene sobre el tema.

English

Well, in Peru, as in many Latin American countries, it is very important, I think it is really important to know the people that you are going to have business with. Many times it is more important to know about the honesty of that person than it is about the knowledge that he has about the subject that you're dealing with. We don't always consider the aptitude of the person and the subject that you're going to deal with, but more what is known, what is familiar, it is more important than the knowledge that the person has about the subject.
