In both Brazilian and American business cultures, professional responsibilities are taken seriously and tied to concepts of personal integrity and career advancement. In Brazil, there is strong emphasis on hierarchical structures within organizations, so professional responsibilities are often clearly defined by one's position. In the US, there is greater individual accountability and flexibility in how responsibilities are managed. Both cultures increasingly emphasize professional ethics and compliance with regulations.
