Task A: International Business Etiquette

In this workshop, they introduced about New Delhi which is the second largest gateway cities in India. It is also a very populous city which has 12 million people living in that city. Generally, it gave us general information on transportation, accommodation, shopping, business etiquette and corporate dining etiquette, personal security, impression and advices.

This is a very useful workshop because it provides us precise yet sufficient information for any first time arrivals in New Delhi. We would know where to get a safe airport transfer, how to get a taxi, how to hire a taxi without being taken advantage of because we are foreigners. Most importantly, we were taught of the behaviours and likings or dislikes of the businessmen there as to avoid culture clashes and offending of our very important clients.

This would also enable us to learn about some of the behaviours that we should have so that we will please them and set a good impression for them.

After this workshop, I have also learnt that New Delhi is still a place with very rich culture even if it is a developed city. It did not move away from it rich culture but blends the rich culture into the business scenes. It is especially obvious when it comes to dining and entertainment. In New Delhi, security would be a point that we cannot neglect. This is because India is a country with large population and has a large income gap, thus, we may be an easy target if we are not careful enough.
