During the greeting
In a number of cultures a firm Russian handshake is not accepted, for example, in India and Iraq. How should you greet your partner?
When contacting
It can be difficult to determine where on a business card is the first name and last name, and when it is possible to switch to "you".
Giving a business card
What language should the business card be in? What is important to remember when passing it on?
Starting conversation
What topics are considered dangerous? And what is the best way to engage in conversation?
Manners
Pauses in conversation, loud expressive speech, violent gesticulation? What is common in my partner's culture?
The answers to these and many other questions can be found on this site:
- business etiquette — in the intercultural navigator
- business practice — in-depth country information Order
- business situations, problematic issues — trainings, consultations Order
Mexico
Communication SpecificsDuring a conversation, your Mexican partner may nod to show they are paying attention to what you're saying. However, this does not necessarily mean they agree with you.
Finland
Preferred TopicsSport is a favourite topic of discussion in Finnish society, especially winter sports, including skiing, speed skating and, of course, ice hockey. Many Finns have been ice-skating since childhood, they go skiing with their families on weekends and, of course, play ice hockey.
