General DOs AND DON'Ts when doing business in other cultures.

Learn as much of the local language as possible. The absolute minimum should be a greeting or exchange, goodbye and an inquiry as to someone’s health (or as in China, “have you eaten?”). However, the most important word you can learn is “THANK YOU”.

• Be open minded. Don’t close your mind to something new.

• They are all pretty smart; the sooner you figure this out, the better.

• Feelings more often get the job done. In other words, the best price may not win you the contract.

• Figure out who is advising the decision-maker.

• Determine when negotiations actually open and when they close.

• Be sensitive to gender issues.

Some peculiarities of doing business in different countries:

China

• BE PATIENT – do not talk about your deadlines.

• Highest ranking person in business meeting should lead the group.

• Subordinates should never interrupt.

• Learn their history.

• Leave before the Chinese at end of meeting.

• Never empty your rice bowl. It can be an insult to your host.

• Use chopsticks. Do not place parallel on the top of the bowl. (Bad luck) Do not stand chopsticks upright in a bowl of rice since it will resemble joss sticks used in religious ceremonies.

• Do not drop chopsticks. (Bad luck)

• Formal titles should be used.

• Avoid exaggerated gestures or dramatic facial expressions.

• Do not touch the Chinese; this is especially true for children. Under no circumstances should you ever touch anyone on the head.

• It is okay for people of the same sex to hold hands, but people of the opposite sex should never do so in public.

• When giving a gift, it is customary for the recipient to refuse the gift three times. This is to not appear to be greedy and expectant. Also know that rarely will your gift be opened in your presence; once again, the receiver does not want to appear greedy.

Germany

• PUNCTUALITY IS ESSENTIAL. Even keeping an executive waiting one or two minutes may totally ruin your prospects of a successful deal.

• All of your promotional materials, manuals and supporting information should be translated into German.

• Germans do not appreciate humor in the business context.

• Do not give or expect compliments. This is clearly embarrassing to the Germans.

• Remember, the Germans are very formal; therefore, all your correspondence and actions should reflect this.

• Respect Germans privacy. Doors are closed and you should always knock before you enter.

• Never discuss business during the meal.

• As in many parts of the world, the eldest or highest ranking person should enter the room first.

THE LAW SYSTEM

Law is a system of rules established by the state. The main aim of law is to consolidate and safeguard the social and state system and its economic foundation. The system of law in our country consists of different categories of law. Constitutional law is a leading category of the whole system of law. Its principal source is the country’s Constitution. It deals with social structure, the state system, organization of state power and the legal status of citizens. Administrative law is closely connected with constitutional law but it deals with the legal forms of concrete executive and administrative activity of a government and ministries. Criminal law defines the general principles of criminal responsibility, individual types of crimes and punishments applied to criminals. Criminal law takes the form of a criminal code. International law regulates relations between governments and also between private citizens of one country and those of another. Financial law regulates the budget, taxation, state credits and other spheres of financial activity. Civil law is connected with relations in the economic sphere of life, with relations involving property, its distribution and exchange. The right in property is the central institution of civil law. The rules of employment law include the legislation on the employment of industrial and office workers and regulate matters arising from employment relations.

SAILOR. You may put your things here in this locker.

N. Who are we sharing the cabin with, I wonder?

O. They'll have to be looked through, sir. I'd ask you to put them aside, please.

P. What! Are you going to read them all?

O. No, our interpreter will just skip through them, that's all. Now, what are these things?

P. Oh, only a few trifles for my family. Are they liable to duty too?
