    Business Culture in the UK and China Greeting and conversation UK It is common to shaking hands. It is considered the polite way to greet someone and one should use last name and appropriate titles when addressing the host. Before discussing business matters, people usually make ‘small talk’. This is often on a topic such as the weather, transport or sport. Humour is often used. China In China, meetings start with the shaking of hands and a slight nod of the head.

Many businesses have a code of conduct to help their employees understand the law, for example: Employees should not accept business gifts, except items of very small value such as business diaries or calendars. China The giving of gifts does not carry any negative connotations when doing…
