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

Qatar
GreetingQatar is a multinational state where people from a wide range of cultures can be found. The largest population group—about 40%—is made up of Arabs. There are also people from India (18%), Pakistan (18%), Iran (10%), and other Arab countries. The proportion of Qatari nationals, the indigenous population of the country, is relatively small—around 12%.
Canada
IntroductionWhen starting a business relationship, Canadians usually prefer a fairly formal communication style. They often address each other by last name and include a title if there is one. When introducing themselves, they typically say their first name followed by their last name—for example, John Smith.
