Where can I find information on business communication styles in foreign countries?
Answer
In the Global Edge database, click on Global Insights in the upper menu and click on by Country. Then select a country from the alphabetical list and click on Culture from the menu on the left-hand side of the page. Here you’ll find two links to country-specific cultural information for the country you are searching for from:
- The Centre for Intercultural Learning
- Culture Crossing
Both of these links will provide information on:- Greetings
- Communication style
- Personal space & touching
- Eye contact
- Gender issues
- Gestures
If you need further help, contact a librarian.
