Cultural Background
In Korean business, '의견을 교환하다' is often used as a polite way to disagree or suggest an alternative without being confrontational. Similar to Korea, it is used to maintain 'wa' (harmony) while still allowing for the exchange of necessary information. Directness is valued, so 'Meinungen austauschen' is often a precursor to a very direct debate. Exchanging opinions is seen as a way to 'brainstorm' and is often very fast-paced.
Use with '건설적으로'
