It\u2019s a fact that Asia is the fastest-growing economic region and the largest continental economy in the world. China, Japan, India, South Korea and Indonesia are the top five economies in Asia at the moment. Currently, Asia is home to 50% of the world&#8217;s fastest-growing companies and is also the place where22 of the Earth\u2019s 37 megacities are located. When we start looking at the global market, it becomes obvious that enterprising and investing in Asia is important.<\/p>\n<p>However, in order to do that successfully, we need to be prepared to navigate through the complex business scenarios that might occur, and we have to understand the subtle but important details that define the Asian business etiquette. With that in mind, I\u2019ve collected and prepared a handful of useful tips in case you\u2019re planning on doing business in Asia.<\/p>\n<h2>Stick to being formal<\/h2>\n<p>There are some broad rules to consider when addressing someone in Asia, especially when you\u2019re doing it for the first time. Firstly, it\u2019s very important to always use the individual\u2019s formal title \u2013 e.g. \u201cDirector\u201d or \u201cMayor\u201d \u2013 rather than a generic \u201cMr\u201d or \u201cMrs\u201d greeting. You should stick to being formal until you\u2019re encouraged to address someone more informally. Never make the decision to start talking more informally by yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, you should try your best to pronounce their names correctly to the best of your ability. Asian languages can have a different and complex sound compared to your native tongue. Saying their names right shows that you\u2019ve done your homework, which would be very helpful to you when it comes to making a good first impression.<\/p>\n<h2>Be mindful of your body language<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-9536\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stopasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/doing-business-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Doing Business\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/>Body language is as important as the words you speak in Asia \u2013 sometimes even more so. To demonstrate your self-control, remain calm and behave formally &#8211; this shows them that you\u2019re worthy of their respect. In most Asian countries, you\u2019ll need to take facial expressions and body language into account in order to grasp the true meaning of what\u2019s being communicated.<br \/>\nFor example, you should never talk while your hands are in your pockets. Passing anything with your left hand is also considered rude in many countries \u2013 no matter if you\u2019re right-handed or left-handed. It\u2019s also considered improper etiquette to place your hands or fingers on anyone else\u2019s head, face or mouth &#8211; the same applies to your own.<\/p>\n<p>Some countries &#8211; like Thailand, Myanmar, and India &#8211; have a specific way of greeting called \u201cwai\u201d, where you slightly bow with your palms pressed together in front of your chest. Broadly speaking, if you don\u2019t know enough about how body language is interpreted within the local culture in which you\u2019re trying to do business, try to avoid making a lot of gestures or initiating too much physical contact.<\/p>\n<h2>Manage your time correctly<\/h2>\n<p>Plan to arrive early and stay late. Asian people like to take their guests sightseeing. They\u2019d probably want to show you a local restaurant or a club, and it&#8217;s polite to make enough time to spend with them informally, too.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, these are cultures whose history is measured in millennia rather than centuries! Allow plenty of time for discussion, dinner, and drinks.<\/p>\n<h2>Be careful about how you direct discussions during a meeting<\/h2>\n<p>Be prepared to begin with small talk about your business counterpart\u2019s country, as well as their customs, history and current popular sports figures. Show interest in the small details and don\u2019t be afraid to express your delight from getting to know their culture. However, be careful of breaching some sensitive subjects ie. politics, Royal family or religious matters; these topics should be avoided as discussing them can easily cause conflicts.<\/p>\n<p>During and after the small talk, be sure to present the long-term plan for your cooperation \u2013 don\u2019t focus only on the current business issue at hand. Explain the importance of both sides working together and how positively that would affect not only both companies but the world itself.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing you should be careful with is making humorous remarks during the meeting. Yes, we know that cracking a joke always breaks the ice, but keep in mind that humor is culture-specific, so something that is funny to someone in one culture may draw blank stares or serious looks from those in another culture. If you plan on being funny, be sure that the joke is appropriate to your audience so the translator doesn\u2019t have to tell them where they should laugh.<\/p>\n<h2>The business cards issue<\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to business cards, never put a pile on the table and invite people to take one. You should also refrain from sliding them across the table as if they were playing cards, writing on someone else\u2019s business card in their presence or placing a card you\u2019ve just received into your back trouser pocket. Make sure all of your details are on the card and that English is printed on one side and the local language on the other. Always have an abundant supply of business cards. Practice the art of politely giving and receiving business cards with a colleague. For instance, in Korea, Japan, and China, you should give the business card with two hands rather than one, all while bowing a little.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a quote I came across recently that\u2019s very pertinent:<br \/>\n<strong>\u201cIn today\u2019s global market, businesses have to stop thinking about the risks of doing business in Asia, and start thinking about the risks of not doing business in Asia\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Asian business etiquette can seem intimidating and confusing, but we hope the pieces of advice we&#8217;ve prepared for you will help you shine during your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stopasia.com\/blog\/the-future-of-translation-and-artificial-intelligence\/\">future<\/a> endeavors on that continent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As business professionals, we\u2019re trained to notice and recognize advantageous and favorable situations on the market.
