From the Paper:

"It is very crucial for businesses and business people to carry out research about international business culture, especially about the cultures of specific countries in which one wants to conduct business deals in. This is because there are various factors that determine how business should be carried out in different countries; the way that one carries out business in one's home country is different from the way one carries out business in others. One should be aware of all the do's and don'ts; business etiquettes such as language, dress code, behavior and gestures that mean one thing in one country may mean the opposite in another country."
