T.R.A.F.I.C. Model - 6 Cultural Tendencies: Hello MR Smith Hello John!

This document presents the T.R.A.F.I.C. Model, which outlines 6 cultural tendencies around how different cultures approach time, rules, authority, communication, and group dynamics. The model compares tendencies that value time as relative versus manageable, rules versus relationships, hierarchy versus equality, formality versus informality, individualism versus collectivism, and direct versus indirect communication styles. The model is based on Geert Hofstede's cultural dimensions and Edward T. Hall's high and low context cultures.
