Intercultural Leadership -Anne Egros
Cultural differences have a significant impact on business interactions and can be a source of conflict if not properly understood and navigated. Culture encompasses many aspects including language, religion, values, norms, and behaviors. Effective intercultural communication and leadership require cultural literacy, an awareness of one's own culture as well as respect and curiosity for other cultures. Strategies for successful intercultural leadership include being aware of cultural differences, showing respect, managing reactions, giving feedback sensitively, and leveraging diversity.
Improve intercultural communication in the work place
We want to improve intercultural communication to develop relationships with diverse customers, partners and employees. But what are the main obstacles? It may not be the obvious ones! Learn how to recognize and remove this unconscious barrier to intercultural communication.
How to live without the academic hunger games.
I’m not going to play the academic research collaboration hunger games: hunting, attacking, stealing, and back stabbing are not a part of my agenda!
The university is a game. It has rules, transparent and hidden, but it is a place essentially driven by competitiveness, much akin to the notion of hunger games. I refer to the competitiveness and reference to the hunger games metaphor where we are placed against each other – institutionally, within our own department or faculty, and indeed within some collaborations, and against one another. We are at times placed in positions where as higher degree research students and academics we are uncomfortable, isolated, experience personal and knowledge based attacks, stress, anxiety, and we are challenged as individuals from a perspective of self-care. How can we navigate the academic research collaboration hunger games?
Throughout this presentation I invite a rethinking of the narrative of competition to one of mindful choice as academics working in research collaborations within the current contemporary higher education context. A disruption to this is a repositioning of being, a mindful approach to who and how we collaborate. I invite an enactment of a self-awareness to our own approach to research collaboration, and consideration underpinned on how this impacts others' by engaging in rewarding interpersonal relationships. I connect with the higher degree research experience, being an academic collaborator, working with industry, co publishing, and utilising social media as examples of shifting practice.
I’m an advocate of being the change you want to see. If we mindfully approach our collaborations – including the collaborative process (relationship formation, development, and growth) and the outputs – then there is a space to disrupt the competitive nature, at least within our self, amongst each other, and hopefully within the institution. Mindful choice is key to this.
Module 36a: Supervision People Concepts
It’s a simple fact that the key to Supervison is understanding people. It’s also true that understanding people is not simple. This module focuses on some of the key concepts of understanding people. Do not try to decide which is the one best way to understand people. All of these concepts have value and none is predominate. Note that the last page of this is instructive.

Write a paper listing your own personal ethical ten commandments.
1. Thou shall not devote my life to chasing money and high social status but rather in pursuit of purpose through service to mankind: Purpose is more important than money or any material possessions (Zsolnai, 2011). This is important because fulfilment in life is my topmost priority and it can only be achieved by living purposefully and not from external possessions.
2. Thou shall treat me and every individual with love and care: The virtues of love and care are on top of my virtue list and this is because they are the greatest enablers for me to provide service to humanity.
3. Thou shall not conform to negative social trends: This means that morality is still a great value to me in a world where a lot of moral values have been lost. It is important to me because I feel the need to be a positive role model for other young individuals.
4. I will ensure that work is done with utmost integrity: This means having good moral judgment and it is important to me since it is one way of showing value for relationships and care for others.
5. Thou shall be accommodative of personal differences in day to day interactions: People are different in aspects like personality and it is wrong to dismiss others on the basis of personal differences. This is important to me because I like it when people are themselves and it is only through accommodation that we can relate to and still maintain individuality.
6. I will hold truthfulness and honesty close to my heart and practice it in my day to day interactions: Deception is prohibited for me because it is the basis of healthy interactions.
7. Every individual should be treated as though they are valuable: This means seeing the good in people. This is important because without seeing the good in people there is no way they can add any value.
8. Thou shall be considerate of the consequences of any action to self and others: This means that I will consider the costs and benefits of my actions before doing. This is important to me in ensuring that I promote good not only for myself but also for others.
9. I will ensure that I do not betray the trust that others have in me: I will remain trustworthy and this is important because it is impossible to form any healthy relationships without trust.
10. To always hold others and their properties with utmost respect: This means that I will duly regard others as well as their property (Gill, 2009), and this is important to me because I attract the same kind of respect which I like.

Design life cycle
Values have a long-term influence on design longevity because they shape people's perceptions and behaviors. Personality determines how people will react to designs. Trends only have a short-term influence as they reflect current interests and needs that shift over time. Competition affects a design's viability and stability by pushing designers to differentiate their designs and encouraging problem-solving to stay relevant. To achieve longevity, designers need to balance understanding long-term influences like values and personality with short-term influences like trends and responding to competition. This helps them meet people's underlying needs in ways that improve lives.

The traction that met Michu and Telebirr early on highlights the massive demand for uncollateralized digital credit in Ethiopia. New entrants such as Kacha Digital Financial services have also announced they’re eying the micro-credit market. The impending entrance of Safaricom’s M-PESA is undoubtedly going to have an impact, but the telecom operator must wait until the National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE) sets rules before it can enter the fray.
Among the most significant recent developments in the digital lending sphere is credit cards. Awash Bank has announced it will start issuing credit cards to its clients in both secured and unsecured loan forms. Clients will be able to access as much as a few hundred thousand Birr in credit from the bank, with limits depending on the loan type.
It is a significant milestone for the Ethiopian financial sector, and the development is likely to be followed up by even more big changes.
Central bank regulators are working on a digital lending framework that will likely see micro-credit providers gain a step up in the financial sector. As it stands, mobile money providers are the only non-traditional financial institutions allowed to engage in micro-credit service but are still required to partner with banks or MFIs to access loanable funds.
The central bank, however, has recently expressed intentions to allow fintechs to loan out funds sourced from entities other than banks or MFIs. Common practice in other countries indicates that these other sources are usually private equity firms, individuals or development institutions. This model is practiced in various countries across the globe.
For instance, In Kenya, Digital Credit Providers (DCPs) were not regulated by the central bank until recently and sourced funds from various sources without having to disclose them to the central bank.
Nonetheless, close to 300 DCPs have applied for licenses from the Kenyan central bank this year after regulators put out a call following a decision that compels lenders to disclose their source of funding. Ten of them have already been licensed. Development Financial Institutions, commercial banks, private equity firms and high-net-worth individuals are some of the popular sources of funding that Kenya-based DCPs use for lending.
The implementation of various models of lending come with their own advantages and disadvantages. Here are the possible opportunities and threat that the Ethiopian market will experience as a result of the upcoming changes:
Opportunities
Encourages the development of new lending models such as peer-to-peer (P2P lending). Countries with advanced digital lending models have progressed to be able to offer a slew of innovative lending products. Diversifying the source of funds would allow creditors to experiment with innovative use cases based on their own risk appetite as they’ll be able to retain the risk on their own.
Provides a more attractive business case for fintechs. With the current arrangement.
Diversity And Inclusion
The document discusses the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace, defining key terms and outlining best practices for effectively managing diversity such as emphasizing its value, eliminating misconceptions, improving management, and developing greater productivity while enhancing human relations by respecting differences among all individuals. It also addresses challenges like discrimination and biases that can arise without proper diversity management.
Cross-cultural leadesrship
The document discusses cross-cultural issues in management. It notes that cultural differences can often cause conflicts in business. Culture includes factors like language, religion, values, norms, body language, and concepts of time, fairness, and leadership. Effective intercultural communication and leadership require cultural literacy. Strategies for leaders include being aware of one's own culture, showing respect for others, communicating clearly, and leveraging differences for mutual gain.

Culture and Power! Perceptions, Cross-Cultural Communication, and Other Cultu...Career Communications Group
The perception of power is a cultural phenomenon. Different cultures accept the dynamic of power in very different ways. Some accept unequally distributed power as a natural part of the professional world, where other cultures engage and view that power is equal among contributors. This cultural concept is known as power distance. When in a high power distance culture the relationship between bosses and subordinates is one of dependence. When in a low power distance society the relationship between bosses and subordinates is one of interdependence. Knowledge of how you and your team perceive power and accept structure will impact the ease of communication and affect leadership style choices. Culture is a powerful dynamic that helps us understand and be more specific about relationship conflicts and triumphs.
Learning Objectives: Increase professional development, awareness, and communication strategies.
Outcomes-At the end of the seminar, participants will be able to:
a. Leaders share Cultural challenges and triumphs
b. Identify core issues and strategies to manage communication diversity
c. Explore potential impact of language on confidence and perceived value
d. Examine leadership styles and principles to accommodate power distance cultural factors
e. Explore workplace communication and effectiveness
person centered thinking
The document provides an introduction to Person Centered Thinking (PCT) and Person Centered Planning. It discusses the key differences between PCT and Person Centered Planning, with PCT focusing on everyday ways of thinking that can impact organizations and systems, while Person Centered Planning focuses more on specific events and action planning. The document reviews some of the core concepts and skills of PCT, including the distinction between what is "important to" a person versus what is "important for" them, and tools to help understand individuals and find the right balance, such as relationship maps, rituals and routines, and good day/bad day descriptions.

Damien’s Shoes
by Ret’sepile Makamane
My son (Links to an external site.)
, Damien, makes fires that flicker throughout rainy June nights. He moves about the shores of Lake Muhazi, lighting a new fire on a new spot every night. People who travel to Kayonza come back to Kigali with stories of having seen him during the rainy season as the smokes of his fires constantly go up to the skies, like a man cast away and looking for rescue. Those who have travelled and visited relatives with houses on the hills around Lake Muhazi in recent years to observe his activities say that my son sails up and down the lake during the day, busy ferrying passengers with completely covered faces to the other side. Others even claim that they have seen him up close, and that unlike other undead dead people he does not run away or conceal his face when you approach him. He has remained ten years old throughout the years, only bits of his hair are beginning to grey now.
When his boat work is done in the evenings, he plays his flute into the night, calming Lake Muhazi into even more stillness. He plays the flute so dedicatedly, earnestly, its melody so piercing, with sorrow so intense – a child blowing all his young soul into a musical instrument just so our land can heal. His flute wakes God from his deep sleep, – since Damien has already given God a few warnings, I hear – saying to God, “Thou Shalt Not Sleep, never. Not here in Rwanda, not anymore! Find yourself another bedroom.” Because God used to sleep here in Rwanda, you know. Lately, God stays awake at night looking intently at the world map, planning to migrate.
I carry with me Damien’s one shoe. He is barefoot, Damien, my boy, that is why he has to make these random fires when it rains in June – to warm his feet. I rescued this shoe from the mouth of a stray dog which made me run and chase it until I was panting like a hound myself. That was back in ninety-four. I was still a young man in those days. Oh, but that dog was not the end of my troubles. I have aged double while walking these hills and valleys with acacia and guava and mango trees, without even seeing their beauty anymore. Walking with a tormented soul, looking for Damien to put on his shoe on the other foot. Blaming myself, sixteen years moiling and roiling through these mangroves and swamp.

9. I will ensure that I do not betray the trust that others have in me: I will remain trustworthy and this is important because it is impossible to form any healthy relationships without trust.
10. To always hold others and their properties with utmost respect: This means that I will duly regard others as well as their property (Gill, 2009), and this is important to me because I attract the same kind of respect which I like.

Design life cycle
Values have a long-term influence on design longevity because they shape people's perceptions and behaviors. Personality determines how people will react to designs. Trends only have a short-term influence as they reflect current interests and needs that shift over time. Competition affects a design's viability and stability by pushing designers to differentiate their designs and encouraging problem-solving to stay relevant. To achieve longevity, designers need to balance understanding long-term influences like values and personality with short-term influences like trends and responding to competition. This helps them meet people's underlying needs in ways that improve lives.

The traction that met Michu and Telebirr early on highlights the massive demand for uncollateralized digital credit in Ethiopia. New entrants such as Kacha Digital Financial services have also announced they’re eying the micro-credit market. The impending entrance of Safaricom’s M-PESA is undoubtedly going to have an impact, but the telecom operator must wait until the National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE) sets rules before it can enter the fray.
Among the most significant recent developments in the digital lending sphere is credit cards. Awash Bank has announced it will start issuing credit cards to its clients in both secured and unsecured loan forms. Clients will be able to access as much as a few hundred thousand Birr in credit from the bank, with limits depending on the loan type.
It is a significant milestone for the Ethiopian financial sector, and the development is likely to be followed up by even more big changes.
Central bank regulators are working on a digital lending framework that will likely see micro-credit providers gain a step up in the financial sector. As it stands, mobile money providers are the only non-traditional financial institutions allowed to engage in micro-credit service but are still required to partner with banks or MFIs to access loanable funds.
The central bank, however, has recently expressed intentions to allow fintechs to loan out funds sourced from entities other than banks or MFIs. Common practice in other countries indicates that these other sources are usually private equity firms, individuals or development institutions. This model is practiced in various countries across the globe.
For instance, In Kenya, Digital Credit Providers (DCPs) were not regulated by the central bank until recently and sourced funds from various sources without having to disclose them to the central bank.
Nonetheless, close to 300 DCPs have applied for licenses from the Kenyan central bank this year after regulators put out a call following a decision that compels lenders to disclose their source of funding. Ten of them have already been licensed. Development Financial Institutions, commercial banks, private equity firms and high-net-worth individuals are some of the popular sources of funding that Kenya-based DCPs use for lending.
The implementation of various models of lending come with their own advantages and disadvantages. Here are the possible opportunities and threat that the Ethiopian market will experience as a result of the upcoming changes:
Opportunities
Encourages the development of new lending models such as peer-to-peer (P2P lending). Countries with advanced digital lending models have progressed to be able to offer a slew of innovative lending products. Diversifying the source of funds would allow creditors to experiment with innovative use cases based on their own risk appetite as they’ll be able to retain the risk on their own.
Provides a more attractive business case for fintechs. With the current arrangement.
Diversity And Inclusion
The document discusses the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace, defining key terms and outlining best practices for effectively managing diversity such as emphasizing its value, eliminating misconceptions, improving management, and developing greater productivity while enhancing human relations by respecting differences among all individuals. It also addresses challenges like discrimination and biases that can arise without proper diversity management.
Cross-cultural leadesrship
The document discusses cross-cultural issues in management. It notes that cultural differences can often cause conflicts in business. Culture includes factors like language, religion, values, norms, body language, and concepts of time, fairness, and leadership. Effective intercultural communication and leadership require cultural literacy. Strategies for leaders include being aware of one's own culture, showing respect for others, communicating clearly, and leveraging differences for mutual gain.

Culture and Power! Perceptions, Cross-Cultural Communication, and Other Cultu...
Culture and Power! Perceptions, Cross-Cultural Communication, and Other Cultu...Career Communications Group
The perception of power is a cultural phenomenon. Different cultures accept the dynamic of power in very different ways. Some accept unequally distributed power as a natural part of the professional world, where other cultures engage and view that power is equal among contributors. This cultural concept is known as power distance. When in a high power distance culture the relationship between bosses and subordinates is one of dependence. When in a low power distance society the relationship between bosses and subordinates is one of interdependence. Knowledge of how you and your team perceive power and accept structure will impact the ease of communication and affect leadership style choices. Culture is a powerful dynamic that helps us understand and be more specific about relationship conflicts and triumphs.
Learning Objectives: Increase professional development, awareness, and communication strategies.
Outcomes-At the end of the seminar, participants will be able to:
a. Leaders share Cultural challenges and triumphs
b. Identify core issues and strategies to manage communication diversity
c. Explore potential impact of language on confidence and perceived value
d. Examine leadership styles and principles to accommodate power distance cultural factors
e. Explore workplace communication and effectiveness

Damien’s Shoes
by Ret’sepile Makamane
My son (Links to an external site.)
, Damien, makes fires that flicker throughout rainy June nights. He moves about the shores of Lake Muhazi, lighting a new fire on a new spot every night. People who travel to Kayonza come back to Kigali with stories of having seen him during the rainy season as the smokes of his fires constantly go up to the skies, like a man cast away and looking for rescue. Those who have travelled and visited relatives with houses on the hills around Lake Muhazi in recent years to observe his activities say that my son sails up and down the lake during the day, busy ferrying passengers with completely covered faces to the other side. Others even claim that they have seen him up close, and that unlike other undead dead people he does not run away or conceal his face when you approach him. He has remained ten years old throughout the years, only bits of his hair are beginning to grey now.
When his boat work is done in the evenings, he plays his flute into the night, calming Lake Muhazi into even more stillness. He plays the flute so dedicatedly, earnestly, its melody so piercing, with sorrow so intense – a child blowing all his young soul into a musical instrument just so our land can heal. His flute wakes God from his deep sleep, – since Damien has already given God a few warnings, I hear – saying to God, “Thou Shalt Not Sleep, never. Not here in Rwanda, not anymore! Find yourself another bedroom.” Because God used to sleep here in Rwanda, you know. Lately, God stays awake at night looking intently at the world map, planning to migrate.
I carry with me Damien’s one shoe. He is barefoot, Damien, my boy, that is why he has to make these random fires when it rains in June – to warm his feet. I rescued this shoe from the mouth of a stray dog which made me run and chase it until I was panting like a hound myself. That was back in ninety-four. I was still a young man in those days. Oh, but that dog was not the end of my troubles. I have aged double while walking these hills and valleys with acacia and guava and mango trees, without even seeing their beauty anymore. Walking with a tormented soul, looking for Damien to put on his shoe on the other foot. Blaming myself, sixteen years moiling and roiling through these mangroves and swamp.

Initial Post Instructions
Triggers are ethnocentric responses to differences and defensive reactions to ethnocentrism. Any number of things can serve as triggers, but they generally fall into the following categories: voice, appearance, attitude, and behavior. For example, a person of color may become anxious when driving through a small rural town. They may fear being stopped because of looking out of place. Another example would be to react to the smell of curry and spices when walking into an Indian home. The reaction could be either negative or positive depending on your experiences, but you immediately react to the stimulus.
For the initial post, address the following:
Describe a trigger that you have responded or been a witness to in the past, even if it was only a fleeting mental thought.
What was the result of your/their response?
If you/they had a negative response, how could your/their response to the situation been better or different?

Basic packet filtering – Filtering that looks at each packet entering or leaving the network and then either accepts the packet or rejects the packet based on user-defined rules. Each packet is examined separately.
Bridge – A network device that separates traffic into separate collision domains at the data layer of the OSI model.
Cloud computing – The automatic provisioning of on demand computational resources across a network.
Coaxial cable – A network cable that consists of a solid center core conductor and a physical spacer to the outer conductor which is wrapped around it. Commonly used in video systems.
Collision domain – An area of shared traffic in a network where packets from different conversations can collide.
Concentrator – A device used to manage multiple similar networking operations, such as provide a VPN endpoint for multiple VPNs.
Data loss prevention (DLP) – Technology, processes, and procedures designed to detect when unauthorized removal of data from a system occurs. DLP is typically
active, preventing the loss of data, either by blocking the transfer or dropping the connection.
Firewall – A network device used to segregate traffic based on rules.
Hypervisor - A low-level program that allows multiple operating systems to run concurrently on a single host computer.
Hub – A network device used to connect devices at the physical layer of the OSI model.

IHRM has iong been attracting the interest of academics, no empiricai research has
ever been reaiized in this fieid in Turiiey, and few studies have been reported
eisewhere. The survey was conducted among the 106 iT managers and
professionais from various sectors, based on whose resuits, the data shows that iT
is used extensiveiy in the organizations to perform IHRM functions in Turicey's

FOR MICRO WORK
There are various formats for completing a process recording. The following is an outline that covers the major areas we want included within a process recording. Please utilize the template that follows for completing a process recording with an individual, couple or family client(s).
1. Description/Identifying Information: The social work student’s name, date of the interview and the date of submission to the field instructor should always be included. Identify the client, always remembering to disguise client name to protect confidentiality. Include the number of times this client has been seen (i.e., "Fourth contact with Mrs. S."). On a first contact include name and ages of the client(s) you have written about. If client is seen in location other then the agency say where client was seen.
2. Purpose and Goalfor the Interview. Briefly state the purpose of the interaction and if there are any specific goals to be achieved, the nature of the presenting issues and/or referral.
3. Verbatim Dialogue (in the table below). A word-for-word description of what happened, as well as the student can recall, should be completed. This section does not have to include a full session of dialogue but should include a portion of dialogue. The field instructor and student should discuss what portions should be included in the verbatim dialogue.
4. Assessment of the Patient/Client/Consumer. This requires the student to describe the clients’ verbal and nonverbal reactions throughout the session. Consider everything that is occurring such as body language, facial expression, verbal outburst, etc.
5. The Student's Feelings and Reactions to the Client System and to the Interview (in the table below). This requires the student to put into writing unspoken thoughts and reactions s/he had during the interview e.g. "I was feeling angry at what the client was saying, not sure why I was reacting this way…”. “ I wonder what would happen if I said such-and-such.”
6. Identify Skills and/or Theory/ Conceptual Frameworks used (in the table below). The student should be able to identify what skills they used in an interaction, and/or what theoretical framework came to mind as they dialogued e.g. “I used the strengths perspective “ “I used the skill of partializing”

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Henry: I run and operate a online web development, design, and marketing business. Me: what was your career path to this position? Henry: I started my career in supply chain management, sales, and lastly to purchasing before starting my own business. I’ve held these roles in regions such as Hong Kong, Shenzhen China, and Taiwan. Me: What advice would you give to someone who aspired to your position? Henry: It is extremely important to be sensitive to people of various backgrounds especially the Chinese since the Chinese economy is growing and they will become one of the biggest
- 9. economies in the future. Me: How does the national culture affect the design and management of your organization? Henry: As a business owner with a Chinese background, it is important to be sensitive to your customers at all times. A look, a sign, or a comment may mean many different things during a conversation. It is extremely important to not miss those signs during a conversation. Another important thing to be watchful for is the value of relationships. Harboring great relationships is the key to success with any Chinese organization, the Chinese value the relationships greatly and it is important to take your time in building up relationships with your clients. Me: What is the difference between Chinese clients versus American clients? Henry: Through my experience, I have come to find that American customers have often valued the nature and basis of business contracts while the Chinese customers definitely have taken a heavier emphasis on relationships as a whole. Trust is a big deal in the Chinese society and in business; it was no different as well. Me: what specific skills do you believe a global executive needs, and how would you suggest Developing them? Henry: It is important to have basic international etiquette training before doing businesses with the Chinese. International travels are definitely a huge plus since knowing something in your head is one thing, it is definitely another to experience the culture and to see how people interact with one another. Through my experience in dealing with the Chinese, it was definitely very helpful in observing my clients and by seeing
- 10. how they interact with one another provides great insight as to clues as to how I would need to deal with them. Me: What is one example on the difference in business dealings between the Chinese and American? Henry: For an example, during a business meal it is common for the Chinese to wait until the food is on the table for everyone before starting a meal. The stress on the importance of eating together symbolizes the oneness in unity on business. It is also common for Chinese businessmen to continue business dealings throughout the meal. Meanwhile, American businesses this is not as emphasized on importance versus the content of the conversation itself. Me: how long did you live in china and what was your position? I have lived in Shenzhen China for about half a year as the APAC Sales Manager and I have travel between Hong Kong, Donguan, Shanghai, Beijing, and Taiwan totaling 4 years throughout various roles in my career including my own business.
