2、ater, four perfectly dressed Japanese gentlemen greeted her at Narita Airport. Smiling and bowing low, they handed her their business cards.

3、ocket. She then gave them her card.When the five of them arrived at the hotel, they invited Geri to tea in the lobby.

Poor Geri was left stunned. What did she do wrong?Every

5、thing! Her jeans was the first gaffe. Even if youre coming off a bicycle in Japan, you do not meet clients casually dressed. The second mistake was Geris vulgar handling of their business cards. In Japan, the business card is one of the most important protocol tools. It is always presented and accep

12、d, in some ways, is characterized by less social distinction.Yet in spite of all the informality, America is not completely without customs that show consciousness of social distinction. For example, U U 1 /U /U. While the informal “Hello“ is an acceptable greeting from employee to employer, the emp

13、loyee is more apt to say, “Hello, Mr. Ferguson,“ whereas the employer may reply, “Hello, Jim.“ Southerners make a point of saying “Yes, sir,“ or “Yes, maam,“ or “No, sir,“ or “No, maam,“ when talking to an older person or a person in position of authority. Although this is a good form all over the U

14、nited States, “Yes. Mr. Western“ or “No, Mrs. Baker“ is somewhat more common in a similar situation in the North or WestU U 2 /U /U.

18、ting pattern in the United States, nor presume that it means more than it does.Also, because an American is perhaps more likely to admit and laugh at his own mistakes than one who stands more on his dignity, U U 7 /U /U. The American is quite ready to admit certain weaknesses such as “I never was go

20、oint of being generous to a loser. This attitude is carried over into matters that have nothing to do with competition.
