Italian Business Etiquette

Courtesy and a degree of formality are the most important aspects.

• Meeting

Handshake is not too firm/aggressive and often a light grip with a single, quick shake.

Dress is often fashionable, whether formal or casual and they expect and are comfortable amongst those equally dressed.

Meetings are often to discuss issues, not to make decisions

• Eating

Arrive on time. Do not arrive 10 minutes late without phoning beforehand.

Do not begin eating until the hostess says 'bon appetit'. (dinner parties)

If you have not finished eating, cross your knife and fork on your plate with the fork over the knife.

Do not rest your elbows on the table, although your hands should be visible and not in your lap. A man may rest his wrists, and a woman her forearms, on the table edge.

Do not cut salad with a knife and fork. Fold the lettuce on to your fork.

Peel and slice fruit before eating it, break bread before eating.

• Negotiation

Do not be over friendly, the French seperate their business from their personal lives.

High-pressure sales tactics should be avoided. The French are more receptive to a low-key, logical presentation that explains the advantages of a proposal in full.

The French are often impressed with good debating skills that demonstrate an intellectual grasp of the situation and all the ramifications.

Swiss Italian

The map to the right shows the Italian speaking part of Switzerland (Southern Switzerland). For more information on the languages spoken in Switzerland, click on the map

Written Italian is used in Southern Switzerland, with little difference to normal Italian. When spoken there is a slight difference in dialect, which is only noticeable to Italian speakers.

Canadian French

Canadian French and Standard French differ little in the written form. It is dominant in Quebec where it is the dominant language (see map). Canadian French uses some verbs used in Standard French in 1700's as well as some anglicisms, a sign of the influence English has had. These differences are due to Quebec's isolation from France in terms of distance and commercial links since the 1700's. USA has always had strong commercial links.

 

African French

French, although the most widely spoken of any language in Africa, is normally a second language, with the dominant language being the national native language. Although some classes (middle-upper) in Tunisia, Algeria and Morroco speak it as a first language or are bilingual (French/Arabic).
