Business visits tend to be extremely punctual. If you
arrive late to a business appointment, it will reflect badly
on you. So try to arrive on time, or even if a little earlier. 62
If you know that you will be arriving late, you should
telephone ahead to let them know of the delay. If a
business meeting takes place over a meal, expect the
business discussions to begin after everyone has ordered
their meal, sometimes as soon as everyone is seating. 63
Socializing tends to occur after the business is concluded,
not before. This is in contrast with the practice in
many other countries, where the purpose of the meal is to
socialize with and get to know each other after any business 64
is discussed. Many American companies have men in 65
management positions. So don’t be surprised if the person
who meets you is a woman, not a man. They are just as
competent as their male counterparts. If you feel
uncomfortable, focusing on the business at hand and ignore 66
the fact what she happens to be a woman. Do not, 67
however, ask personal questions like you might with a male 68
colleague. In particular, do not ask whether she is married
or has children. When businessmen or businesswomen
meet, they usually introduce themselves through shaking 69
right hands. When you shake hands, don’t crush their
fingers, neither hold their hand so lightly. A firm 70
handshake is best. Business cards are not normally
exchanged with meeting. If you need a colleague’s contact 71
information, it is okay to ask them for their cards. It is also
okay to offer someone your card. But there is not an
elaborate ritual of exchanging cards as in other cultures.
