International Etiquette for Businesspeople

Respecting local customs is a crucial aspect of international etiquette

First of all, there is no such thing as a comprehensive and universally valid set of business etiquette rules, as every country in the world has its own unwritten code. Below you can find some essential basic guidelines on social interaction in a multi-national business context that will help you avoid the pitfalls of international etiquette.

Avoid Embarrassment

Even tiny mistakes in international etiquette can have a negative effect on your career. They may be interpreted as a significant lack of manners and can put an abrupt end to your business abroad. To your business partners, you will appear uninformed or downright rude, and you might jeopardize your business deal if you do not take the time to research social customs beforehand. Etiquette is no randomly assembled set of rules but has its firm grounding in the culture of the respective country. For example, if you are aware of the concept of “face” in many Asian cultures, you will know what implications it has for business conduct: If you want to be respected by your Asian contacts, never “lose face” yourself and by all means avoid causing your potential business partners to “lose face”. This is how cultural awareness can help your career.

Personal Space

Respecting other people’s personal space is a crucial aspect of international etiquette, even in business. It is important to keep in mind that there are significant differences between cultures and between genders. Although it is almost impossible to go wrong with a handshake, it’s always a good idea to hold back when in doubt. By observing your environment closely, you will learn quickly where people draw the line between cordiality and intrusiveness. You need to learn not to cross that line.

Business Cards

In most Western countries, business cards serve a purely informational purpose. However, in other parts of the world, international etiquette dictates that business cards must be treated with the utmost respect. In Arab and some Asian countries, it is important never to use your left hand to receive a business card, as this hand is reserved for personal hygiene. In other Asian countries you give or receive business cards with both hands, often accompanied by a small bow. As a general rule, try to treat everything, including business cards, you receive from your business partners with respect, no matter whether these items hold a lot of significance in your home country or not. It may seem trivial to you, but it can make or break a business deal. Our article on cultural differences in international business and international business culture provides some information on the subject of international etiquette connected with Brazil.

Communication Styles

Many senior and middle ranking Brazilian business executives speak excellent English and in fact many of them may have studied abroad in the USA or Europe. However, English is by no means universally spoken and when dealing with people outside the major commercial centres, an ability to speak Brazilian Portuguese is extremely useful. Try to avoid using Spanish as this can be seen as culturally insensitive. Brazilians are proud of their uniqueness in South America as non- Spanish speakers.

Dress code

Appearance is extremely important in Brazil and it’s vital that you look your smartest. Men are best advised to wear conservative dark suits and traditionally three-piece suits have indicated an executive position whereas two-piece suits have indicated office worker status. Women tend to be less conservative in their dress sense at the office than women from many other countries. They ‘dress to impress’ and are more flamboyant than in many other countries.

Intercultural Competence

Intercultural competence is of crucial importance in our interconnected world. If you’ve ever traveled abroad, you may have felt out of your depth when you first arrived. The people around you may have looked, spoken, and acted in a very different way than in your home country. Some people take days or even weeks to get over the initial culture shock. Others seem to quickly adapt to this new situation. They talk to the locals with ease, even if they don’t fully understand everything around them.

13

This ability is defined in a number of ways but generally, it is the ability to interact well with people from different cultures or backgrounds and behave in appropriate ways with those who are culturally different. It is also the ability to co-create shared spaces, teams, and organizations that are inclusive, effective, innovative, and satisfying. Cultural competency is vitally important to effectiveness in a variety of areas including healthcare, education, public services, libraries, customer service, and other business functions.

With the spread of globalization, this has become more important for businesses and organizations that are growing into overseas markets. Companies that fail to understand the beliefs, language, and habits of people in other countries may end up embarrassing themselves or unintentionally offending their customers. A good example of this is Pepsi’s initial marketing blunder when it first entered the Chinese market. Pepsi decided to use a Chinese slogan for its soft drink. This was supposed to say, “Pepsi – Brings you back to life”. Unfortunately, the translators at Pepsi didn’t appreciate the subtle differences in the exact meaning of the words they chose. The new slogan actually translated as “Pepsi – Brings your dead ancestors back from the grave”. This shows how companies need to be careful with language.

Intercultural competence is also vital for an international company’s employees to work together. Employees on a team are often separated not only by vast distances but also different cultural beliefs. For this reason, every employee on the team needs to be interculturally competent in order to successfully achieve a common goal. Everyone needs to be sensitive towards different communication and work styles. For example, some employees in certain cultures can handle direct criticism better than others. Employees from some cultural backgrounds will feel more comfortable taking the initiative when unexpected problems occur. Others would be more likely to consult a manager before trying to resolve these issues by themselves. Managers might find it challenging to make a team from different cultures work well together. It takes a patient and skilled person to do this job. As a result, international companies tend to promote those who show an ability and willingness to be open-minded towards employees from other cultures.

44. The phrase ‘out of your depth’ in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to

a) out of control

b) very confident

c) terribly happy

d) overwhelmed

45. According to the article, what is intercultural competence?

a) the ability to communicate well with your friends and family

b) the ability to disconnect from people from different cultures or backgrounds

c) the ability to communicate well with people from different cultures or backgrounds

d) the ability to teach people from different cultures or backgrounds about your own culture

46. The word ‘this’ in paragraph 2 refers to

a) globalization

b) different culture

c) an overseas market

d) intercultural competence

47. The word ‘blunder’ in paragraph 2 can be replaced by

a) mistake

b) expansion

c) advertisement

d) translation

48. The word ‘sensitive’ in paragraph 3 can be replaced by

14

a) fragile

b) secretive

c) defensive

d) appreciative

49. The phrase ‘taking the initiative’ in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to

c) complaining repeatedly

d) immediately give up

b) rude

World Refugee Day

Forced displacement has reached unprecedented levels, with more than 65 million people uprooted from their homes globally. New and recurring conflicts, and ever-more disturbing forms of violence and persecution, are driving people to flee in search of safety within their own countries, or to cross international borders as asylum seekers or refugees. Others are living in long-term exile, as solutions to protracted

17

conflicts remain elusive. At the end of 2015, there were 21.3 million refugees, 3.2 million people in the process of seeking asylum, and 40.8 million people internally displaced within their own countries.

World Refugee Day is held on June 20 each year. This day was arranged by the United Nations General Assembly. It is a day to raise awareness about the difficult situations that refugees are in around the world. It was first held on June 20 in 2001. The UN chose to do this because 50 years earlier an agreement about what rights refugees have was made.

To mark this day, many countries hold events. In fact, there are different events in more than 100 countries. Famous people, members of governments, aid workers and refugees participate in these events. At some events, films are played to show how refugees have to live and the terrible conditions they are in. Some people write letters to their government. They ask for more help for the refugees. Other people who want to see changes to how refugees are treated hold protests. These people are usually called activists.

The UN Refugee Agency is involved in this day. Their logo is associated with World Refugee Day. The logo has two olive branches which symbolize peace. Inside the two branches are two hands. They are surrounding the figure of a person. The two hands are protecting the person. The pictures on the logo are usually in blue on a white background, but sometimes they are white on a blue background.

World Refugee Day is a moment for taking stock of the devastating impact of war and persecution on the lives of those forced to flee, and honoring their courage and resilience. It is also a moment for paying tribute to the communities and States that receive and host them, often in remote border regions affected by poverty, instability and underdevelopment, and beyond the gaze of international attention. Nine out of ten refugees are today living in poor and middle income countries close to situations of conflict.

Last year, more than 1 million refugees and migrants arrived in Europe across the Mediterranean, in unseaworthy dinghies and flimsy boats. Thousands did not make it — tragic testimony to our collective failure to properly address their plight. Meanwhile, divisive political rhetoric on asylum and migration issues, rising xenophobia, and restrictions on access to asylum have become increasingly visible in certain regions, and the spirit of shared responsibility has been replaced by a hate-filled narrative of intolerance. We see a worrisome increase in the use of detention and in the construction of fences and other barriers.

With anti-refugee rhetoric so loud, it is sometimes difficult to hear the voices of welcome. But these do exist, all around the world. In the past year, in many countries and regions, we have witnessed an extraordinary outpouring of compassion and solidarity, as ordinary people and communities have opened their homes and their hearts to refugees, and States have welcomed new arrivals even while already hosting large numbers of refugees. There is an urgent need to build on and amplify these positive examples.

44. According to the article, when is World Refugee Day?

a) on June 19

b) on June 20

c) on June 21

d) on June 22
