CODE OF CONDUCT

The most important rule for a businessman is to keep his word and to be honest. Besides, punctuality is very important for business and social appointments.

The businessman should observe various rules. There are some main rules of introduction which are useful to remember: men are introduced to women; young people to older ones; old friends to newcomers; young girls to married.

Men should always stand when people re being introduced, ladies may remain seated. British and American people usually shake hands especially when formally introduced, but they do not always shake hands with people they see often. Instead they smile and say a greeting.
