In this example, "Stan" could be considered arrogant for attempting to
do business in another country without making an effort to understand
how business is conducted there (he is also dangerously and expensively
incompetent for calling home to announce that he has an order without a
signed PO in his hand).
However, I suspect that the type of arrogance the hiring company is
really concerned about is a tendency Americans often have to act as if
they're doing ignorant and backward foreigners a favor just by being
willing to do business with them, and to believe that the "American way"
of doing things is inherently superior to that of any other country and
that everybody else needs to learn from us.

Interesting. On what grounds are we saying that Stan is arrogant?
