Talking about Greece for BUS 302 and also general nonsense

@ITZNekonome fuck you bitch

[Will Kriss @cratch_k]

That's unfortunate, because it's the opposite in Greece. Direct eye is expected as it shows sincerity and trustworthiness. If these two cultures collided, it could be difficult to work out.

[Charlotte Henry @charhenry15]

British people tend not to use extended eye contact. Holding eye contact for a long period during conversation is usually not well-received, and the encounter may be perceived as uncomfortable.

[Will Kriss @cratch_k]

Same thing for Greece. It is important to establish a real connection before getting down to business.

[William Draper @WillDraper33]

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

I have read about 15 books my entire life

[Kritika @Kritika348]

Norwegians read around 15 books on average a year.

That's my type of meeting! In Greece, everyone is encouraged to participate in discussion, but in the end the decision is up to whoever is in charge.

[Madlerst @madlerst]

Swedish companies are generally built on a strong base of cooperation and full participation. All opinions need to be taken into account when making a decision. The boss is only the facilitator of the decision-making process.

Now that's a schedule I can get behind. I eat lunch and dinner at those hours anyways.

Most work days in Mexico start at around 7am-9am. Lunch is typically taken from 2pm to 4pm and dinner is eaten at about 8pm to 10pm. The best time to schedule a morning meeting in Mexico is at 10 am right after breakfast.

Good to know! It seems like when doing business internationally it can be a coin flip whether or not to accept tea on the first offer, so it's always good to know ahead of time.

[Trenten Tso @trenten302]

A couple notes to remember while in a business meeting: it is important to receive coffee/tea with you right hand and considered impolite to not take a cup. Second, avoid crossing your legs during meetings so you will not show the sole of your foot. It is impolite and unclean.

Greek business meetings can get pretty chaotic. An agenda is more of a guideline and probably won't get fully followed. Expect lots of cross talk, and for things to get heated. ALSO LOTS OF YELLING. PASSION IS A GOOD THING!!!1!

[Will Kriss @cratch_k]

Not meaning to count this as one of my tweets but gyros originate from Greece and this channel is gold.

When waving goodbye in Greece, make sure to keep your palm facing you! It is considered an insult to stick you palm out at someone. This is called moutza, and sticking both palms out as once is considered significantly more offensive.

[Will Kriss @cratch_k]

In Greece (and in life in general tbh), if you are offered something as a gift, accept it! It is considered rude to refuse a gift, and you may find yourself in an awkward situation if you do so. The Greeks are known for their generosity, so be ready to accept a gift at any time.

I feel like Christopher Nolan really just wants to make a visual novel but society isn't ready to accept that yet #CPBus453
