I don't think it's possible to be successful as a business in another country without fully knowing its customs, culture, or norms. I feel this ways because doing things the way you do things in your own country won’t always go over well with the cultural norms in a different country. Countries think, act, operate, and perceive things differently so you have to do your research and come up with a strategic plan to even think about being successful. On another aspect of things you also got to know these things in order to be able to recruit employees and retain them. I know we all are human and thrive on some of the same values when it comes to survival but you have to think and go above the normal thinking when it comes to business so regardless to many of the same things across countries of background, culture, language, customs or norms we all can be motivated by the benefits, perks and other potential motivators you must establish in your business and to be successful. If you make sure you cover your research in that country you will know if your product or service is of a need or want in that country to help determine if you start or expand in that area successfully.

This article is a good read on this topic and provides some very enlightening information that supports each country or region has its own way of doing business, and knowing that before you engage in starting a business or service there will set yourself up for success.
