Geo-Culture Intercultural Navigator Country Guides
Geo-Culture Intercultural Navigator Country Guides sets out the conversational and meeting conventions of more than sixty countries in a fixed structure, so two countries can be compared point by point. Published by Geo-Culture, the guides cover greetings, introductions, the exchange of business cards, small talk, personal space and communication style, alongside worked business cases.
100% Free (unlimited): All country guides and the business cases are open to anyone on the site, with no account, no sign-up and no email address. The publisher asks that a link to the site be included when its material is used elsewhere.
How It Helps Your Business English
Countries are listed by region: Australia and Oceania, Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America. Every country page follows the same headings: greeting, introduction, exchange of business cards, small talk with preferred and taboo topics, personal space, and communication specifics, with a short country factsheet. Business cases illustrate what happens when two work cultures meet.
Because every country follows the same headings, open two countries in turn and read the same heading in each to see exactly where they differ. Read the preferred and taboo topics before any meal or informal meeting. Work through a business case when you want to see how the differences play out in a real situation rather than as a list of rules.
