Philippines, Filipinos, Filipinas, Pinoy, Pinay, Pilipino, Pilipina. Confused? It seems everybody has a name for the inhabitants of the Philippines, including the Pinoys themselves. But don't worry. On the first page of this delightful guide to the etiquette, customs and taboos of more than 7,000 islands that is the Philippines, you'll find the best traveling tip you need to use when among the smiling and talkative people of this tropical paradise. Did we say talkative? That's an understatement! Filipinos are the most bubbly and communicative and therefore caring and friendliest people in Southeast Asia. This former U.S. colony has adopted American vocabulary, accents and lifestyles more than any other country in the region. Filipinos are also the Asian leaders in abbreviations which liberally sprinkle their conversation ("my D.I. is in the C.R."). They are also masters of inventing new words--witty and amusing--for just about everything from food to the foibles and weaknesses of their fellow countrymen. To ensure that you, the foreign resident, fleeting visitor or armchair traveler, enjoy your stay in the Philippines, we present a light hearted but practical guide to the do's and don'ts of this dynamic country. DON'T tell your best friend that he's got food stuck between his teeth. DO slouch in the back of your taxi as you leave the motel after a romantic afternoon. And DON'T throw water over the guy downstairs singing his heart out. He's just serenading his ladylove on the fourth floor. Want to know more? Then DO buy this book!

With this book, an international group of approximate 50 HR leaders, professors and senior consultants compiled their knowledge and experience in an easy-to-navigate format to allow busy HR executives finding exactly the advice they need. Re-inventing the wheel – unfortunately – still is a common practice in Human Resources Management. Traditional literature on HR fails to provide advice based on current, real-life experience and online forums lack a logical structure. Hence, there is a clear need for a resource with practical, structured and experience-based advice on Human Resources Management. The book also provides readers from other functional areas and job starters a realistic insight into today's HR management – be it as a personal career orientation or as a way to enrich their overall management knowledge.

Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Discussion and Essays, grade: 1,8 (A-), University of Cooperative Education Mannheim (Education: Economics), course: Business English, language: English, abstract: [...] Etiquette is a minefield and a mistake can cost a businessman a contract. So it is important to know about the business customs of a country you are doing business with. No one who travels East with the intention to do business should do so without informing himself about the business structure, practices, customs and habits. It is very common that business people are sent from their company to exotic regions like Japan without being taught in cross-cultural business or the country-specific customs and manners. The more exotic one country, the more preparation is necessary. In most Asian business cultures, harmony is valued above everything else.4 Problems can arise out of the international cooperation and misunderstandings due to language and gestures.5 When it comes to a faux pas, it can have serious consequences: the image of the company can be destroyed, the contract will probably not be settled and the cooperation can be deranged. Not the different manners, but the different mindsets make international cooperation difficult: far-eastern distance hits the western backslapping mentality.6 “Building relationships ... should emphasize mutual trust, confidence, loyalty and commitment for the long term, both among individuals and companies.”7 In this paper I will point out interesting facts and figures about Japan, its history, its capital as well as its working conditions. Furthermore, I highlight strange Japanese customs and habits and present special differences between Germany and Japan. For a German visiting Japan on business, this information is essential to have. Although Europeans will never understand the culture and tradition of the Japanese, they need to arrange with it in order to do business. I will not mention facts about Japan’s economy and the consumers’ behaviour, which are also important for doing business, because of the limited size of this paper. 4 Cf.
