Basic understanding 基礎知識

In the business world, it is quite often for us to pay a business visit. Etiquette is very important in a face-to-face contact. The way you act and the way you dress are means of communication; whether the message is intentional or not. Demonstrating good manners and being appropriately dressed communicates that you are serious about your job, that you respect the people you're doing business with, and that you understand the corporate culture. People subconsciously form an opinion about you within the first few seconds of meeting you, long before you've had a chance to demonstrate your competence at your job.

If you're traveling on business to a foreign destination, or have visitors here, it is a good idea to learn as much as you can about the culture they are coming from and make appropriate allowances. This isn't just courtesy. It's good business. A successful business trip will possibly bring a deal.

在商業世界中，我們經常要進行商務考察。在面對面的接觸中，禮儀是非常重要的。你的行為和穿著都是溝通的方式；無論這個訊息是有意的還是無意的。展示良好的禮儀，適當地穿著，傳達出你對工作是認真的，你尊重與你做生意的人，你了解企業文化。人們下意識在見到你的頭幾秒鐘里就對你形成看法，你要很長的時間才有機會來展示你的工作能力。

如果你要到國外目的地去商務旅行，或是有客人到這里來，盡可能多地了解來賓國家的文化是個很好的做法。這不只是禮貌，它是很好的業務。一個成功的商務旅行可能會帶來交易。
