South America
Most of South America is Spanish-speaking,
but this is where many of the similarities to
a European country end, as each country
has its own customs and traditions, for
example in Chile:
- Messages are often not responded to
promptly, it is common to wait until
there is something specific to say.
- January and February are holiday
months, so it is best not to schedule
business meetings at this time.
- Business attire is usually formal and
very conservative.
Asia and Australia / New Zealand
This vast region includes many countries
each with their own cultures and - generally
- languages. Australia and New Zealand
mainly use English and this is also the
language most widely used in India and
Singapore. All the other countries in the region
will also use English for international
business, but it may be easier to be understood
in some than others! Apart from possible
language barriers, factors to consider
include the fact that across much of Asia,
bribery and corruption are more widespread
and relationships are key: knowing
the right person will get things done. Each
country deserves an in-depth view of its
own, but here are a few highlights, starting
with China:
- 'Mianzi' is extremely important in
China and across most of South East
Asia. It means 'face' and lack of face
or respect will have serious consequences:
this is part of the reason
why many Asians do not like to say a
direct 'no'.
- Traditions used to be very important,
but the rise of capitalism in China has
made money in many ways a more
important social signifier than age or
tradition.
- Leadership is important: position is
respected and knowing your place in
the hierarchy is crucial.
