Unit 4

Task 2.2

The Koreans aren't concerned about how

well planned a meeting is. They will not

trust anything that doesn't take years to

build. For example, a strong relationship of

10 years is more important than a brand

new office building or an

impressive

meeting. Trust is most important thing for

them. They also seldom offer any opinions

unless they are sure about what they want

to say.

Face is perhaps most important to the

Japanese. For example, if you put pressure

on a Japanese businessman at a meeting, he

will respond with silence and your relationship is sure to be over even before

the meeting finished. They will be more

accepting of you if you learn to speak a little

Japanese and look comfortable

with their

problem, the British will try to improve the

situation by saying something amusing, but

sometimes others don't find this humour

funny at all.

Whenever you disagree with the French,

they will enjoy arguing with you in a very

lively way. They will offer you a business

opportunity more quickly than people from

other cultures, but they will change their

minds at the last moment, if they feel that

you are not doing business in a satisfactory

way.
