Work cultures differ across not only continents but across nations as well.
For example, in India, it is
considered ethically wrong to kiss and hug a woman whereas it doesn’t imply the same in western countries like UK, USA and even China. Physical gesture of moving head side to side is not considered a disagreement. Again a very different gesture but considered a sign of good hospitality is when you are plied with food and drinks. If in India, always take less in the first helping. People wear western clothes professionally but the dress code still ought to be conservative in modernisation. It is very common to come across delays and cancellations in meetings which is not the same elsewhere. Networking is very important as it is a key for getting to the top and getting all work done.
