@daniel_madi That is great to know! In Germany, it is expected you do the same and want to look as sharp as possible for your business meetings! #BUS302 @Professor_Hoang

Germany scores high in masculinity. This country really values work. In fact, status is often determined by what kind of car you drive and other materialistic items such as watches. #BUS302 @Professor_Hoang #Germany

@doiisaac That is super interesting! Germany is a very individualistic country that values self-performance. It is quite intriguing to see that groups are held accountable for work rather than narrowing it down to the individual.

Long-term relationships are valued very highly in Germany. Make sure you get to know your German colleagues very well and show a genuine interest in establishing a friendship with them @Professor_Hoang #BUS302 #Germany

@bentivegna_tia That is super interesting! It seems as if Italy really values days in regard to Catholicism. Germany has multiple days off as well and work is not encouraged on Sunday at all and instead is meant for personal time. #BUS302 @Professor_Hoang

When scheduling a business meeting with a German colleague, make sure you plan and set a date and time weeks in advance. This will allow your German business partner to know that you are well prepared and organized. #BUS302 #Germany @Professor_Hoang

@Kritika348 That is awesome! It is so cool to see countries investing in effective and fast ways to transport their citizens the fastest ways possible in a public manner. I wish the United States will start implementing this type of public transportation!

By the age of ten, German children are separated into different types of school systems, based on the education level they are viewed to be at!

@EdmundsCali That is super interesting! Germany scores pretty high in masculinity. The culture values competition and being the best that one could possibly be in their work field. Germans are very driven individuals! #BUS302 @Professor_Hoang

When conducting business in Germany, make sure you present facts and data supporting your deal. Clarity is of utmost importance and having all information to present is a must! All in all, being straight forward and upfront is valued. #BUS302 #Germany
