In both American and Brazilian business cultures, 'calculated decisions' are highly valued as they demonstrate competence, risk management, and strategic thinking. In the US, this phrase is common in corporate and financial contexts. In Brazil, while the concept is equally important, the term 'decisões bem pensadas' (well-thought-out decisions) may be more frequently used in everyday speech, though 'decisões calculadas' is preferred in formal business documents and academic settings.
