BUS1221 International Etiquette & Protocol

When conducting a business meeting with someone from China do you bow, hug or shake hands? The improper implementation of protocol with people of other countries can create embarrassment, awkwardness, and potentially negative repercussions for a company.  Navigating business etiquette in an international landscape requires research and finesse.

This course will help a student to research cultural protocols across international borders.  They will learn the basic etiquette expected in business meetings as well as specific actions to avoid.  This will allow the student to be successful in international business dealings.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Research cultural mores and taboos
  • Understand the framework of cultural intelligence
  • Learn how to develop and display cultural intelligence
