Cyborlink International Business Etiquette, Manners and Culture
Cyborlink International Business Etiquette, Manners and Culture holds country profiles covering business etiquette, manners and cross-cultural communication for professionals working abroad. Maintained since 1999 and established at the University of Texas at Dallas, the reference grounds each profile in Geert Hofstede's six-dimension cultural analysis and covers fifty-nine countries.
100% Free (unlimited): Every country profile opens directly in the browser, with the full text of each section available to anyone. No account, no sign-up and no email address are required, and the pages are suitable for printing before a trip.
How It Helps Your Business English
A clickable world map opens fifty-nine country profiles. Each profile follows the same structure: an introduction to the country, its Hofstede six-dimension analysis, religion, appearance and dress, behaviour and protocol, greetings and conversation, and a list of further resources covering government and trade, culture and etiquette, business press, and practical travel information.
Open the profile for the country you are travelling to and read the introduction and the Hofstede analysis first, since they explain the reasoning behind the specific rules that follow. Then work through appearance, behaviour and greetings before you pack or prepare an agenda. Compare two profiles side by side on the same six dimensions when you want to see how far apart two markets sit.
