Power Distance
One important element of culture is power distance, The Power Distance Index measures how people in different societies cope with inequality—in other words, how they relate to more powerful individuals.
Communication Style
words are very important, especially in contracts and negotiations. People in high-context cultures, on the other hand, place more emphasis on the surrounding context than on the words describing a negotiation.
Time Orientation
They correlate time with productivity, efficiency, and money. Keeping people waiting for business appointments is considered a waste of time and rude
HIgh and Low Context
Communicators in low-context cultures depend little on the context of a situation and shared experience to convey their meaning.

Language problems. Unfamiliar words can destroy the communication process because they lack meaning for the receiver. In addition, emotion-laden, or charged, words can adversely affect listening.
Psychological barriers. Everyone brings to the communication process a unique set of cultural, ethical, and personal values. Each of us has an idea of what is right and what is important. If other ideas run counter to our preconceived thoughts, we tend to tune out speakers and thus fail to receive their messages.
The introduction to your document explains who it is for, and why it is important to them.
