Plastics & Rubber Vietnam - Experience Hanoi!

DOS und DON´TS in Hanoi

DOS

  • Be punctual and polite!
  • Accept that the community is more important than the individual in Vietnam!
  • Respect social hierarchies! Decisions are only made by the authorised level in Vietnam.
  • Gifts are always welcome! Higher-ranking people must, of course, be presented with their – wrapped and bigger – gifts first.
  • Make sure that you dress well, even in your free time (no baggy look)!

DON´TS

  • Never reveal that you are annoyed!
  • Never attack anyone personally!
  • Don't be too direct – always look out for the nuances in negotiations!
  • Don't be a know-all with your advice!
  • Don't make any cynical or ironic remarks! People don't understand this type of humour, even if they do like to laugh a lot.
