eDiplomat Cultural Etiquette Around the World
eDiplomat Cultural Etiquette Around the World collects country briefings for forty-three countries, each written for someone about to live or do business there. eDiplomat, a site for diplomats and staff posted abroad, gives every country the same sections: the people, meeting and greeting, body language, corporate culture, dining and entertainment, dress, gifts, practical hints and a section addressed to women doing business in that country.
100% Free (unlimited): Every country briefing opens directly from the index and can be read in full by anyone, with no account, no registration and no payment. All nine sections of each country page, dining and corporate culture included, are there on the page.
How It Helps Your Business English
The index lists forty-three countries from Argentina to Vietnam. Each country page follows one layout: a short portrait of the people, how to greet and shake hands, what gestures mean, how companies are run and decisions reached, how meals and invitations work, what to wear, what to give and when, practical hints, and advice for women doing business there.
Open the country you are visiting and read the dining and entertainment section with the corporate culture section beside it: together they explain why a meal is run the way it is and what is being decided over it. Note the gift rules before you pack and the greeting rules before you walk into the room. Because every country uses the same headings, you can compare two destinations quickly when a trip covers both.
