What is international business culture all about?
International business culture compromises the coming together of business people of different backgrounds and cultures to work towards a particular business goal. If you are the one travelling to a different country to negotiate with businessmen based in that country, you should exert some effort to respect the cultural differences and the countries' traditions. The most important thing to remember is to never let their culture get in the way of your business. This can be as simple as observing their religious holidays, and acknowledging the fact that these days are non-working days.

I have experience with this. In Korea, it is impolite to point with your index finger, however it is perfectly fine to point with your middle finger. In many cultures it is considered a no-no to stand your chopsticks up in your food. A firm handshake is expected in the USA, but in many countries it can be taken as a sign of aggression.
ReplyDeleteyea. you are right. Most Asia country, Shaking hands with a woman is considered offensive unless she offers her hand first. If she doesn't offer her hand, greeting her politely is the proper way to handle the situation. Men should refrain from making comments about her appearance, even in a complimentary way, because this is frowned upon as well.
