Canada provides a great environment for Expat businesspeople. Locals are open minded and welcoming to those from other countries.

@WillDraper33 @Professor_Hoang This is really interesting and seems to be different in ways then the country I'm researching. In Canadian culture class distinctions in society are not as recognizable.

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

Punctuality is key to business in Canada. Business meeting are expected to happen on time and to be late would be considered disrespectful. "Time is money" in Canada and deadlines and goals are set to be followed precisely.

@EricTell1 This is very interesting! In Canada, gift giving isn't routinely done. It is however given to celebrate finalizing negotiation or a contract.

Gift exchanging in the Japanese culture is very important in the business world. If you receive a gift from a potential business partner, always open it in private. This removes the chance of you giving a "loss of face" if you receive a poor gift.

When in a managerial position in the Philippines, feel free to cultivate an environment of gentle, well-meaning teasing to help build relationships. It indicates a level of closeness and eases tension in a professional setting, especially when in a role of authority.

Some business leaders in Canada believe that the pandemic is better preparing them for the future of business. They believe that these times have taught us a valuable lesson and that their business will better serve the needs of their customers.

Canadians have great respect for other cultures. About 1-5 were born in other parts of the world. People bring their cultures with them making Canada such a diverse country.

The Netherlands ranks low in masculinity on the Hofstede insights. This means the people are more motivated by liking what they do rather than being the best at it.

Norway has the largest number of electric cars per capita in the world. Owners of electric vehicles in Norway receive large tax breaks and reduced fees on other transportation fares. This is in order to preserve the gorgeous natural environment.

In Canada, business communication is very direct. They value discussion but there isn't a need to read into or decipher messages. Also, phone calls and emails are kept direct and concise.
