 Global Business

Franco 7/16 2:21 P.M.

Please help! I'm an Italian businessman and I have a very important meeting next week with
colleagues from the U.S. and China. I've prepared a great presentation. However, I've never
attended a meeting with Chinese or American businesspeople before. I'm worried about making a
cultural mistake. For example, I know that Chinese people 
Correct answer: bow
bow when they greet each other. In Italy, we usually 
Correct answer: shake hands
shake hands at business meetings—but I don't want to come across as 
Correct answer: rude
rude to my Chinese colleagues. Also, I'm really bad at 
Correct answer: small talk
small talk. I'm afraid that I might say something that isn't appropriate. Can anyone give me
some advice?

Philip 7/16 3:07 P.M.

Franco, you're asking some great questions. It's true that 
Correct answer: customs
customs for greetings and business meetings can be very different around the world. I can share
some information about bowing. I just returned from an international business conference myself.
When my boss introduced me to one of our Chinese clients, I decided to bow. At the same time,
the client reached out to shake hands with me. Then she bowed and I reached out to shake hands
with her! I felt really foolish! Later, a Chinese friend explained. She said that, in China,
handshakes are more common than bows for business meetings. Don't make the same mistake
that I made!

Weibin 7/16 3:52 P.M.

Philip is correct—handshakes are common for business greetings in China. But there is
something else you need to know when doing business with Chinese people. Here in China, there
are a lot of 
Correct answer: formal
formal customs for exchanging 
Correct answer: business cards
business cards. If you don't know the rules, you can really seem rude. Chinese people usually
exchange business cards at the beginning of a meeting. The 
Correct answer: polite
polite way to both present and accept a business card is to use two hands. This is a sign of
respect. And it's important to present your card with the printed side facing up. In addition, when
you receive a card, always take a moment to read it before you put it away. This shows you are
interested in the person you are meeting. Oh—one last rule: don't just put the card in your back
pocket! Instead, put it in a case or on the table.

Stella 7/17 6:13 A.M.

Hi, Franco. I'm from Ghana and I've worked a lot with both American and Chinese people. I can
tell you that making small talk is definitely important! Meetings in both China and the U.S.
usually start with 
Correct answer: informal
informal conversation. It helps everyone relax and get acquainted. Until you know someone
well, it's a good idea to avoid personal topics. It's better to choose a safe topic like the weather. If
people have traveled to the meeting, you can ask about their trip. One more thing you should
know—from my experience, many Americans are not very comfortable with silence. They will
talk if there is a long pause in the conversation. That's fine with me—I love to talk!

Franco 7/18 8:11 P.M.

This is great. Thanks so much for all of the advice. This is very helpful, and 
Correct answer: fascinating
fascinating. I'm glad I asked!
