| Monochronic time (M-time) and
polychronic time (P-time) represent two variant solutions to the use of both
time and space as organizing frames for activities. Space is included because
the two systems (time and space) are functionally interrelated. M-time
emphasizes schedules, segmentation, and promptness. P-time systems are
characterized by several things happening at once. They stress involvement of
people and completion of transactions rather than adherence to preset schedules.
P-time is treated as much less tangible than M-time. P-time is apt to be
considered a point rather than a ribbon or a road, and that point is
sacred. Americans overseas are psychologically stressed in many ways when confronted by P-time systems such as those in Latin America and the Middle East.
