The document provides information on business customs in Italy, Japan, and Russia. In Italy, the most senior person should be given special treatment, meetings are often in the afternoon, and dress is important to make a good impression. In Japan, business cards should be accepted with two hands, it is rude to write notes during meetings, and arrive early for meetings with senior executives. In Russia, certain hand gestures can be considered rude and older Russians tend to be pessimistic while younger urban Russians have a more western outlook.

 Hello, my name is Deisy Rodriguez. Welcome to my presentation and thank you for
coming. I will be talking to you today about the business customs of Italy. Italians,
like most south European people, are relationship-focused. They typically prefer to
create close relationships before starting on business. The formation of a joint
environment of trust and reverence is as important as the exchange of knowledge
and details about a specific business proposition. Before any hope of a successful
meeting can occur proper manners must be followed or there will be a lingering risk
of offense that can destroy any business proposal.

 Hello, my name is Deisy Rodriguez. Welcome to my presentation and thank you for
coming. I will be talking to you today about the business customs of Japan.When
sitting down to a business meeting with your Asian counterparts, the seating
arrangement will be determined by the status of the participants. Do not just sit
anywhere; as the guest, you will be directed to the appropriate seat.As a general rule,
the highest ranking person from the host side will sit at the head of the table. Then,
other people will take their seats starting from the seats closest to him and working to
the other end of the table. Those of higher status sit closest to the "head honcho".

covers an area of greater than 6,592,800 sq. mi.The country has gone through many
changes in recent years, as communism ended in 1991. Older Russians are generally
