Monochronic Vs Polychronic Cultures

Monochronic Culture is task oriented and focus on one thing at a time and respect deadlines. People who lives in these cultures are low context and need often more information in order to move forward. They emphasize as well promptness.

In a Polychronic Culture, you will see people doing several things at once, being distracted and easily managing any unforeseen situations. Individuals living in those cultures focus on relationships, are high context and usually have all the information and conscious of the big picture.
