Internet Research Project Instructions

 

Using your favorite search engine on the Internet, research Business Etiquette.  Choose three (3) of the business etiquettes from the list below:

Business Attire        Making Appointments            Gift Giving

Business Cards       Introductions/Greeting            Names and Titles

Body Language

 

Then, choose three (3) countries you are interested in researching.  Prepare a table showing how the three (3) business etiquettes are followed in your choice of countries (see example below).  

 

Your report must:  

1.        Be typed

2.        Have a header with the following information:  your name, your professor’s name, name of the course, and semester

3.        Spaced:  Part I – Table should be single spaced; Part II – Application should be double spaced

4.        Use Times New Roman 12 point font

5.        Have numbered pages

6.        Be stapled in the upper left hand corner of the page

 

The project should follow the format below.  One sentence is not sufficient to describe an etiquette category. An example for one country is shown below:

 

Part I - Research findings:

 

*Countries	Country 1	Country 2	Country 3
Business Attire	Men:  Should wear dark suits with white shirt and conservative tie.  Shoes should be polished.  Women:  Should wear dark suits or dresses (skirts and dresses should come below the knee); low heels, no perfume, and conservative hair styles.	Â	Â
Making Appointments	Appointments should be made 3 months in advanced via email.  Be sure to obtain a confirmation email; and, reconfirm appointment 1 month, 1 week, and 1 day prior to the date.  Show up on time as lateness is a sign of disrespect.	Â	Â
Gift Giving	Gifts are not expected and may be considered a bribe if the gift is expensive.  However, presenting a small gift with your company’s logo is acceptable.  Flowers are an acceptable gift as a thank you for an evening of entertainment.  Avoid sending white flowers as they are usually used for funerals.	Â	Â

 

 

Part II - Application of findings:

 

Assume you’re going to be visiting each of the countries you have chosen for a business meeting. In your OWN words, describe how you would conduct yourself in each of the countries you selected based on the etiquettes you have chosen. (Should be a minimum of 10 sentences.)

 

Please submit copies of all sources with your project. You must highlight the information you have used in your table on your sources.
