Business Gifts
Gift giving is not part of the business culture.
If you choose to give a gift, it should be small and not extravagant. Giving something expensive could embarrass the recipient.
It is an accepted practice to give a gift at the conclusion of negotiations.
Good gifts include desk accessories, a paperweight with your company logo, or a book about your home country.
Inviting someone out for a meal or to a cultural event will be construed as a gift.
