Communication styles in American business

Communication styles in American business are determined by many of the approaches to business we have already described above. The desire to debate issues directly and openly leads Americans to be seen by some cultures aggressive and even rude. Coded speech and verbosity is often seen as time wasting and in time pressured cooperate the USA. Thus, when an impasse is reached in meeting situations the reaction is often to address it directly and with feeling. This direct, robust debate can often by viewed by harmony-seeking cultures as signaling the breakdown of meaningful discussion and as the signaling the breakdown of meaningful discussions and as the signal to try to abandon the interaction whereas in the States it is seen positively and a sign of definite progress.

Paradoxically, on first introductions Americans can seem very friendly, polite and solicitous of very well being which seems to be at odds with the verbal behavior exhibited half an hour in the meeting. As well as, they are much more open in conversation about private affairs then many European cultures and the converse of this is that they are often quite naively ask very personal questions at an early stage in a relationship which may be perceived by some people.

For many, the United States traditionally is a country of unlimited business opportunities. This kind of "Mecca" for the business, which will be a place of almost any business model. In many ways, it has become possible thanks to the people of the country - a very open and friendly people, whose favorite motto - "Nothing is impossible."

Greeting- According to the American business etiquette, greeting and introduction is accompanied by a handshake. The US is not customary to exchange kisses and kissing a woman's hand. With more companionship, in greeting the Americans used to pat each other on the back

Treatment- The Americans, having a friendly nature, always seek to establish an informal atmosphere in the talks, so they prefer to communicate with people by name, regardless of their age and position.
