SITUATIONS

THE GLOBAL BUSINESS WORLD The  global  business  world       In  modern  business,  company  employees   oWen  have  business  contacts  in  different   countries.  When  we  meet  someone  for  the   first  Dme,  we  greet  the  person.  We   introduce  ourselves  by  saying  our  first   name  and  surname.  SomeDmes  we  give  the   person  a  business  card  with  details  about   our  job  Dtle  and  company.  

GREETINGS 1.  In  the  USA,  it  is  normal  for  men  to  shake  hands  when  they  meet,  but  it  is  quite  unusual  for  men  to  kiss  when  they  greet   each  other.     2.  The  BriOsh  oWen  simply  say  ‘hello’  when  they  meet  friends.  They  usually  shake  hands  only  when  they  meet  for  the  first   Dme.     3.  French  naOonals,  including  children,  shake  hands  with  their  friends  and  oWen  kiss  them  on  both  cheeks,  both  upon   meeDng  and  leaving.   4.  In  Japan,  the  common  greeDng  for  men  and  women  as  well  is  to  bow  when  they  greet  someone,  as  opposed  to    giving  a   casual  handshake  or  a  hug.   5.  In  Arab  countries,  close  male  friends  or  colleagues  hug  and  kiss  both  cheeks.  They  shake  hands  with  the  right  hand  only.   Contact  between  the  opposite  genders  in  public  is  considered  obscene.  Do  not  offer  to  shake  hands  with  the  opposite  sex.   6.  Hungarians  like  to  use  the  friendly  greeDng  form  of  kissing  each  other  on  the  cheeks.     In  Belgium,  people  kiss  on  one  cheek  when  they  meet,  regardless  of  the  gender  or  how  well  they  know  each  other.   7.  Chinese  tend  to  be  more  conservaDve.  When  meeDng  someone  for  the  first  Dme,  they  would  usually  nod  their  heads  and   smile,  or  shake  hands  if  in  a  formal  situaDon.   8.  In  Russia,  the  typical  greeDng  is  a  very  firm  handshake.     9.  In  Albania,  men  shake  hands  when  greeDng  one  another.  Depending  on  how  close  the  men  are  with  each  other,  a  kiss  on   each  cheek  may  be  common  as  well.
