INDIA
The history of India is an extensive journey plagued by invasions that shape today's India, full of
rich traditions and cultures. According to studies, the first Indian civilization dates from the year
3000 BC. At that time two great cities arose, Mohenjodaro and Harappa, where great temples were
built. The economy of these early civilizations was based on agriculture and trade. In the sixteenth
century BC the first invasion took place. This time the Aryans subjected the population and
introduced the iron armors and the Sanskrit language, which is the origin of almost all Indian
languages. With the wars of cavalry the empire went expanding to the north and the great empires
arose. The two great religions of India, Buddhism and Jainism, emerged in the sixth century BC,
when a great social and intellectual agitation took place.
INDIAN CULTURE
The Indian culture is directly influenced by the religions that predominate in this region, with
Buddhism in the lead. The first artistic manifestations within the Indian culture, dating from the
beginning of the Harappa Culture, is in ceramics and engraved stamps. The Indian Literature was
present in the first steps of cultural formation of this country, it is affirmed that the first sacred
books date from the Vedic period, which have great cultural importance, such as the Mahabharata
and the Ramayana. While in the period of the Maurya Empire the growth of the artistic currents
begins
Architecture is another significant link within the Indian culture, it presents as a fundamental
material the stone and the palmettes as decorative themes, zoomorphic capitals and lions that
symbolized the Buddha. Already for this time the fever of Buddhism begins and the constructions
of this region with veneration to this religion become typical.
INDIAN MUSIC
The origin of Hindu or Indian music is not well defined, but it could be said that the first musical
manifestations took place in the years 3000 and 1500 BC. In those times the musical instruments
consisted of a kind of wind instrument, similar to a trumpet (nadasuaram), accompanied by a kind
of drum (tavil). It can be said that the music of India is divided into two major groups: sacred and
profane music. The first of them consists of an extensive improvisation with a single melodic line,
very similar to the songs that were sung in the Western Middle Ages. For a long time in religious
music only hymns and texts of the so-called Veda, which is the sacred book of Hinduism, were
sung. In the fourteenth century, India suffered the Muslim invasion, which brought with it a change
in the arts and music of the region. At that time the country was divided into two large groups: to
the north the first manifestations of Islamic-Hindu music (Hindustani) began, which was
characterized by greater freedom in style and greater elegance in its form; while in the southern part
they continued faithful to the musical tradition and began to compose a more austere (carnatic) type
of music.
CUSTOMS OF INDIAN
It is very difficult to know the customs or at least of most of them when you visit a country for the
first time. India is a country of deep-rooted customs, remember that this is a region with a millenary
culture. One of the most atypical examples of their customs is the greeting, which is expressed by
saying the word namaste and joining hands in front of the chest, under the cheeks, between a man
and a woman in this region is inappropriate to hug or shake hands, Not so in the case of the same
sex, it is common in this country to see two men walk with their hands taken, which would be rare
in any region of Europe or America
RELIGION OF INDIAN
For the region of India the oldest civilization dates from 2500 BC, this was developed in the last
days of the valley on the Indus creek, hence the provenance of the name that today has this nation.
This civilization does not have data containing any religious content, what is known for sure is that
they built towns and cities before the Mesopotamians and Egyptians. Among the first
representations that appeared in Hindu religious folklore is that of the goddess Shiva, this image
appeared in Mohenjo-Daro, in the capitals of the Indus valley. Already for the 1500 a.d.c. and for a
thousand years the Vedic religion is developed in India. It is called in this way by its sacred books,
the Vedas, which are still used in the cults of the Hindu religion. In Hinduism the ages of religion
and life are divided into four and these are not measured in a linear, but circular, so for example if
we are now in a decadent era, a golden age awaits, ie the return to the beginning of the new world
and the return to peace and tranquility. In India there are countless temples and gods, which are
worshiped under the same Buddhist precepts
INDIAN FOOD
The food of India, like its culture and traditions, are the result of the mixture of several cultural
belonging to the different countries that have invaded the country through the centuries. The natives
and emigrants living in the country were incorporating culinary techniques and flavors, to conform
what is now known as Indian cuisine, known internationally as one of the most exuberant cuisines,
due to the use of spices and vegetables, which give it distinctive touch. The fundamental food that is
never missing in the Indian table is the Chapatis, consisting of pieces of flour, with water and
without yeast, which are roasted supported by a pincer. This dish is used as a complement for all
meals of the day
INDIAN ECONOMY
The Indian economy has resisted better than other emerging countries to the slowdown in the global
economy, and has taken advantage of low oil prices in recent years. According to figures from the
IMF, the Indian economy grew 7.3% in 2018, which corresponds to the highest growth in two
years, and the strongest since the first quarter of 2016, driven by a rebound in industrial activity,
especially in manufacturing and manufacturing bulding and an expansion of agriculture. The sectors
that registered growth above 7% include manufacturing; electricity, gas and water supply;
construction, and public administration and defense. India also registered the third highest growth in
the world in 2018. It is expected that the growth continue to rise in the next two years, with figures
of 7.4% in 2019 and 7.7% in 2020.
India's fiscal deficit was USD 101.93 billion at the end of November 2018. This corresponds to
114.8% of the budget set for that year, mainly due to lower income compliance and increased
spending, with a debt proportional to GDP that remains high. This corresponds to a slight increase
with respect to the previous year of the budgetary objective (112%). The inflation rate grew from
3.6% in 2017 to 4.7% in 2018. However, the economy seeks to move towards a more stable pricing
regime. In addition, in 2018 the government deficit was -6.6% of GDP, and this figure is expected
to continue in the following years. In 2018, Prime Minister Narendra Modi continued his program
of reforms with the aim of cleaning up public accounts, promoting investment and industrial
development, and improving the business climate.
INDIAN POLICY
Form of government India is a federal republic based on a parliamentary democracy. Executive
power The President is the head of state and is elected by an electoral college formed by elected
members of the two houses of parliament and the provincial legislative assemblies for a term of five
years. The Prime Minister is the head of the Government and is elected by the parliamentary
members of the majority party after the holding of legislative elections to exercise for a period of
five years. The President, on the recommendation of the Prime Minister, appoints the ministerial
cabinet. The legislative power the legislative assembly is bicameral. The Parliament consists of the
Council of States and the Popular Assembly. The citizens of India enjoy a considerable number of
political rights. Main political parties-Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP): pro-Hindu right-wing party and
nationalist ideology, heads the National Democratic National Alliance (NDA). In the 2014
elections, it doubled its number of deputies, achieving the first solitary majority in its history. -Party
of the Indian National Congress (CNI): one of the main Indian political parties, which was
committed to the movement for the independence of the country. He leads the United Progressive
Alliance (UPA), currently in opposition. The CNI has been affected by different corruption scandals
and has been accused of economic management problems. Its number of seats went from 206 to 44
in the 2014 elections
INDIAN CULTURAL AND BUSINESS LABLES
India has historically been marked by a considerable difference of classes, strictly confirmed during
centuries of history, but which, nevertheless, has managed to revert considerably during the last
decade. For more than 10 years, we have seen the emergence of an emerging middle class that has
captured many job opportunities and has diminished that cultural-economic-social difference
between a high and powerful class and a very low and no fixed employment. This is the reason why
India has adapted to Western customs and cultural ways when doing business, in order to offer a
more attractive market without barriers for all those who come from abroad and want to market
with this Asian giant
The long-term index (Long-Term Orientation Index) shows that India has a persevering and
parsimonious culture when it comes to doing business. With respect to religions, what you need to
know about India is that it is predominantly Hindu, with 81% of its population practicing. Then the
Muslims occupy 12% of the citizenship. Negotiation Strategies
Most of the companies and companies in India are family, of several generations, and the rest
belong to the State, so the treatment and the way of doing business can sometimes be a bit
bureaucratic. For your negotiation to be successful, it is very important to keep in mind certain
aspects:
TAIWAN
At first, the island of Taiwan was inhabited by people from the Malay and Polynesian islands, until
the arrival of the Portuguese in the sixteenth century, who gave it in the name of Formosa
(Beautiful), shortly before the arrival of the Spanish. There were several conflicts between them
over the possession of the island, which were aggravated with the arrival of Zheng Chenggong, a
Chinese military leader who had intentions of colonizing the island. Despite this, Spain again sent
an expedition to Taiwan, who founded the city of San Salvador east of the island, which was
currently free of pirate attacks. From that moment, the island was baptized as All Saints, although
its peace would not last long, as the frequent conflicts with natives and Dutch eventually forced the
Spanish to withdraw in 1642. The period of Dutch domination would not prosper too much, since
that the troops of Zheng Chenggong expelled them definitively in 1662.The government of the
island was in charge of Zheng Chenggong until the year 1683, when his constant struggles against
the Qing Dynasty ended up weakening him so much that he was forced to accept the surrender.
During the next almost 2 centuries, Taiwan would continue to be ruled by the natives, isolated and
forgotten by all. In 1895, China ceded to Taiwan the Taiwanese territory, after the end of the war
between the two nations, but the inhabitants of the island did not agree with this condition, so there
was a revolt and the Independent Republic of Formosa was founded, it had a sad ending 148 days
after its birth, since the Japanese occupied Taiwan anyway.
CULTURE OF TAIWAN
Counting on an incredible historical background, the culture of Taiwan has been influenced by non-
Chinese aboriginal groups that have mixed with societies as diverse as the Dutch culture and
Spanish culture, resulting in a surprising range of colors and varied customs. The culture of Taiwan
is greatly marked by diverse facets of a society whose origin goes back to about five thousand years
ago, being as old as other oriental civilizations like the culture of China, the culture of Japan and the
culture of Korea. When you observe the diversity of customs and traditions that the culture of
Taiwan has you can appreciate a series of festivals and popular festivals, as well as a great variety
of ceremonies celebrated by the different beliefs that inhabit the country and that combine the
traditional art with the elements of modernism. The puppets are part of one of the most relevant
cultural manifestations that can be seen in traditional Taiwanese art, so contemporary with
traditional Chinese art.
MUSIC OF TAIWAN
Western ecclesiastical music came to Taiwan for the first time during the Dutch pre-sence in the
seventeenth century. The Spaniards, who occupied northern Taiwan around the same time, brought
music from the Catholic Church and military band instruments. In the second half of the nineteenth
century, several schools founded by Presbyterian pastors began to teach music, which was the
beginning of the education of Western music in Taiwan. During the following Japanese colonial
era, all the schools in Taiwan founded during that regime taught Western music, in view of the fact
that a Western educational system had already been adopted in Japan. This created the framework
for the first generation of Taiwanese musicians who received training in Japan. Among them,
Chang Fu-xing established the first Western music group of Taiwan, the Linglong Society, in 1920.
Taiwan's first public symphony orchestra (now the Taiwan National Symphony Orchestra) was
established in 1945 by the Taiwan Commando the Taiwan Garrison. After that, the Taipei
Symphony Orchestra and the United Experimental Orchestra of Taiwan (now the National
Symphony Orchestra) were founded in 1969 and 1986, respectively.
CUSTOMS OF TAIWAN
Due to a varied historical background, the culture of the island is very diverse and rich. In the
historical development of Taiwan, non-Chinese aboriginal peoples, primitive Chinese settlers from
Fukien and Jakhas, the Dutch, Spaniards, Japanese and modern Chinese from the mainland have
intervened. In Taiwan, as the traditional cultures have been preserved, you can see the aboriginal,
Chinese and Taiwanese culture, while there are historical remains left by the Dutch and Japanese. In
Taiwan the national language is Mandarin Chinese, but many speak Minnanhua (Chinese dialect
spoken in Fujian and other places), since a large part of the population comes from the Chinese
province of Fujian. A small part of jakas and aborigines, still retain their native languages.
RELLIGION OF TAIWAN
As far as religious beliefs are concerned, Taiwan is extremely diversified. They practice Buddhism,
Taoism, Christianity, Mormonism, Moon practices (Church for the Unification of Universal
Christianity), Hinduism as well as native sects such as Yiguandao and others.
TAIWAN FOOD
Being Taiwan an island, fish is abundant. That's why seafood is the most typical thing in Taiwan.
Also the rice, cooked, in soup, or porridge, is very typical accompanying tapas of vegetables or
nuts. What is typical of Taiwan's current food is its way of cooking. The flavors are rather smooth,
with many sweet and sour dishes. All types of cooking, such as steaming, baking, frying and
sautéing, are worth trying. The jaka cuisine is very special, with foods dried in the sun, and pickled.
The jaka food is stronger, a little more salty, being its typical dish a kind of scrambled tofu,
vegetables, meat and seafood sliced and sautéed, called "siaochao jaka". Pork, seafood, rice and soy
are very common ingredients. Veal is much less common, and some Taiwanese (especially the older
ones) continue to avoid consuming it. This is partly due to the fact that some Taiwanese are
Buddhists, to the traditional resistance to sacrificing livestock useful for agriculture and to the
emotional attachment to these farm animals. Interestingly, the Taiwanese version of noodle soup
with cow is still one of the most popular dishes in the country, despite this traditional dislike.
Vegetarian restaurants with a wide menu are also common, mainly due to the influence of
Buddhism.
ECONOMY OF TAIWAN
Taiwan, located in East Asia, has an area of 35,980 km2 with what is among the smallest countries.
Taiwan, with a population of 23,571,000 people, has a high percentage of immigration, is also in
position 56 of the population table, composed of 196 countries and has a high population density,
with 655 inhabitants per km2. Its capital is Taipei and its currency New Taiwanese dollars. Taiwan
is the 21st economy by GDP volume. Its public debt in 2017 was 180,797 million euros, with a debt
of 35% of GDP. Its per capita debt is € 7,415 per capita. There are some variables that can help you
to know something more if you are going to travel to Taiwan or simply want to know more about
the standard of living of its inhabitants. The GDP per capita is a very good indicator of the standard
of living and in the case of Taiwan, in 2018, it was € 21,189 euros, which is why it is ranked 38 out
of the 196 countries in the GDP per capita ranking. If the reason to visit Taiwan is business, it is
useful to know that Taiwan is in 13th place of the 190 that make up the Doing Business ranking,
which classifies countries according to the ease they offer to do business. As for the Corruption
Perception Index of the public sector in Taiwan, it has been 63 points, thus, its inhabitants have a
low level of perception of government corruption. In the tables at the bottom of the page you can
expand information on the economy and demographics of Taiwan and if you want to see
information about any other country you can do it from economy countries.
TAIWAN POLICY
Taiwan is governed according to the Constitution adopted in 1947 and amended subsequently. The
island is characterized by having a political system by which, although in practice all the
characteristic structures of a sovereign state have been developed, it formally constitutes one more
province of China. Furthermore, neither the nationalist government established on the island, heir to
the former government of the whole of China until its transfer to Taiwan in 1949, nor the People's
Republic of China have recognized their mutual existence. As a result, for many years in Taiwan,
two levels of government structure have survived: the administration existing in mainland China
prior to 1949, and transferred to the island, and the administration developed in Taiwan as of that
date; the first had a formal predominance over the second until the 1990s.
TAIWAN CULTURAL AND BUSSINESS LABELS
Taiwan is predominantly Chinese, it is a country that was born from a part of the population
emigrated from China for political reasons, which makes its culture very similar to that of the Asian
giant. Despite being a small island, it has a population of 22 million inhabitants, which makes it a
very interesting and varied business market. Its economy is fully capitalist although it also has
mixtures of communism that reigns in China, it is a very complex economic-cultural-society.
Taiwan has one of the highest longevity indexes in the world, so you will notice that the vast
majority of managers or CEOs of companies are very old men. This is also because they believe in
experience more than in any other virtue.
There is no single religion in Taiwan, although all of them derive from the thoughts of the Chinese
philosopher Confucius, therefore, they all have things in common and the same ideological-spiritual
basis.
INDIA
It is a country that has always been characterized by the world for its mysticism, religiosity and
cultural richness, however, in recent decades it has presented a new characteristic that is worthy of
admiration, an economic growth. The country has had an extraordinary development based on the
overexploitation of its inhabitants, which is possible since the Indian society is governed by a caste
system that allows the payment of denigrating wages despite the high degree of studies of its
workers. Inflation has also contributed greatly because, since the currency's purchasing power is
very low, it forces workers to do any type of work for intensive days, this, together with a massive
migration to large urban centers, concentrates the population and maximizes work, in addition to a
series of liberal reforms in the field of economy. India is positioned in comparison with the other
advanced economies in sixth place worldwide (under the USA, China, Japan, Germany, the United
Kingdom, India and France), in the case of the BRICS, it ranks second after China, since just two
years ago it has just surpassed Russia and Brazil, and is in first place in the South Asia region. This
tells us about the good performance of Indian GDP, however, this economic takeoff is only three
years ago. The poverty index, defined by the World Bank as the percentage of the population with a
daily income of less than 1.9 dollars, has been reduced to less than half.
TAIWAN
Taiwan's economy currently shows slowed growth, due to lower demand from its trading partners,
and as a result of tensions between China and the United States. GDP grew 2.18%, it is the 21st
economy in the ranking of the 196 countries, exports of goods and services grew by 5.99 percent
compared to the previous year, exceeding an estimate made in May of an increase in 5.93 percent,
thanks to the emerging technological applications and the demand for machinery, says DGBAS.
The unemployment rate in Taiwan reached 3.7% in 2018, which represents a reduction of 0.05
percentage points with respect to the previous year and its lowest level in 18 years according to the
General Directorate of Budget, Accounting and Statistics. It is in the 13th place of the "Doing
Business" of the 196 that make up this ranking, which classifies the countries according to the ease
they offer to do business. In the last year Taiwan has improved its position, since the previous year
it was in the 15th, so it has become easier to do business and it is the second country where the
opening license is most easily obtained, after Hong Kong, in it it is quite easy to connect to the
electricity network compared to the rest of the countries
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
Today, the United Arab Emirates is known for having the largest oil reserve in the world and the
seventh largest natural gas reserve. The 2 most important cities are the capital Abu Dahbi and
Dubai. The country ranks 23rd in the world ranking, for its ease of doing business there, as
measured by the World Bank. It should be noted that the nation has the most diversified economy in
the Middle East.
Regarding international reserves, it reached $ 463,040 million dollars, which represents an increase
of 1,260 million dollars (1,118 million euros) with respect to the previous month, mainly due to
gains in the management of island currencies and appreciation. of the euro and other currencies in
the Taiwanese portfolio, guaranteeing financial stability.
TAIWAN
Taiwan enjoys trade surplus with China, Hong Kong, United States and Singapore. The large
surplus with Hong Kong, more than 39,719 million Americans last year in 2017 dollars, meets its
status as intermediate destination of Taiwanese exports. The surplus it has with the People's
Republic of China is equally broad, touching the 38,940 million US dollars. With the European
Union, Taiwan has a trade deficit, importing about 2,000 million US dollars more than it exports.
With regard to Japan, given its status as the country supplier, who is leading Taiwan recorded
deficit levels. In 2017 the deficit with this country became more than 21.000 million US dollars.

presentations, you should be careful that they are translated into English and Mandarin, in Taiwan
both languages are spoken, but some employers prefer more than the other. Usually the meetings
are extended too, because what entrepreneurs Taiwanese take their time to listen and to express
