Slow engaging

If we want to learn a western culture about service purchase that might be clear separation of role between service provider and service receiver.
Also there is a bit of social norm that underpins the role and responsibility from both sides.

For example, that's house owner's responsibility to remove a furniture that blocks water pipe otherwise the plumber doesn't work or the owner will have no bargain price. So The contractual specification is very clear and usually most pre-work tends to be done before real work engaging. No wonder they think entering contract is a sort of finishing and a moving next.

In eastern culture, making a contract is considered a type of starting. It means we start now. So contractual obligation is hardly supported by its responsibility. And it sometimes contributes to weaken service provider's negotiation stance.

We had project kick-off yesterday and are supposed to meet counter clients today. A bit of slow engaging might be inevitable.
