B
Here is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing
business in some countries.
In Brazil
Brazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for
them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with
light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later
than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours—there’s no such thing as
rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social,
preferring face-to-face communication over mails or phone calls.
In Singapore
Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite
bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered
disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency(效率) is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-
paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is
important and authority is respected. This determines both people interact in meetings. For
example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.
In the United Arab Emirates
In the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their
titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake.
Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck
to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they
also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is
to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It
might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out
or presented.
In Switzerland
The Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of
private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality (守时) is vital,
something that comes from a deep respect for others’ time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few
minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the
final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow
formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table.
It is polite to finish the food on your plate.
