BUSINESS ETIQUETTE

 

In order to behave in an appropriate way, you have to know some facts about the countries you go to. Of course, there are some rules you should follow all over the world. Apart from that, you should learn about customs and etiquette of the countries before you meet people from these countries: Austria, Germany, link to other countries.
