...Why do Japanese business men avoid eye contact during business meetings? This is a question that has a simple answer. But there is so much more to the meaning and culture that leads to it. Ever since history shows, the Japanese culture is focused around honor and respect. There are 3 things that are majorly important to know when going to a business meeting with Japanese businessmen. 1. Introduction 2. Business Cards/ Gift exchange 3. Body Language Introduction: Upon the start of a business meeting ( if you are the host ) greet you’re guest(s) with a bow. This is a basic greeting from Japan just as a handshake is in the United States. Then promptly seat them the furthest from the door that you can. Business Cards: Among the Japanese, when businessmen meet each other, business begins with the exchange of business cards (Kumayama, 1991). Business cards are to be given and received with both hands. As well as not being put away right away. Japanese businessmen find it respectful for you to review the card when it is handed to you. Gift Exchange: To receive a gift at a meeting is to be expected. When receiving a gift, stand, bow, and receive the gift with both hands. To remain seated and accept the gift with one hand is considered disrespectful. The Japanese may feel as if you pay no value to the fact that they brought you a gift (Kumayama, 1991). Body Language: There are a few do’s and don’ts when it comes to, what may seem normal things, do at a meeting. Small things such...

People with different backgrounds or who hold different positions in the workplace have varied values that one needs to be sensitive to. It is important to know who is being addressed and why so that the meeting runs smoothly and is effective. It can be a difficult balance to present information to a vast group of people. Shareholders and customers will generally want to hear different information. For example, if quarterly sales are good, then the shareholders will be happy. If sales are slowing then shareholders may want prices to be raised to make up for the lack of sales, which will in turn make the customer unhappy. For these reasons the importance to know who your audience is and how to speak to them can make the difference between a successful meeting and an unsuccessful one. Being in a situation in which one is called on to present quarterly sales information at an in-person meeting to a group of diverse individuals who all have stake in the company there are many characteristics that need to be considered.

...of a realty firm where he employs six people; five agents and one secretary. Ryan and I discussed how he runs his business and what he believes it takes to be a good supervisor. Goal-setting for employees is one of the objectives Ryan thinks is important. Employees need to have direction and purpose to better serve the company. These goals can range from personal goals such as being to work on time and meeting deadlines, to more profit orientated goals that help improve the overall business of the company. One way to help them meet these goals is to conduct regular team meetings. Ryan holds weekly meetings with all his employees. One thing Ryan likes to do in the meetings is recognize the hard work of his team. A new listing, a signed contract, or a closed sale are something to be acknowledged. He stressed that in real estate, there can be periods of time when business is slow so he likes to set aside time in the meetings for employees to share their strategies and success stories to keep the team motivated.
