Vietnam business culture In the context of today’s globalization, when the enterprises enter the process of integrating international economy more deeply, developing business culture is regarded as a decisive factor, which contributes to promoting the sustainable development of enterprises. Admittedly, each country has its own unique business culture. Viet Nam is completely not an exception. There are many different etiquettes in Viet Nam business culture First and foremost, meetings are considered very formal in Vietnam. It is not common to commit to meeting a long time in advance. In Vietnam the meeting will be confirmed about one week prior to the appointment. It may be difficult for you to plan a trip but it is a reality in Vietnam. Moreover, you should reconfirm your meeting one or two days ahead. You also should contact with your partner first to get a list of participants and their ranks so that you can know who you will talk with. Secondly, business cards are a common opening to business meetings. It is very impressive if you prepare the business card which has two sides, one has your own language and the other translated into Vietnamese. Because it is a little bit difficult for you and your partner to distinguish foreign people so a very important point is you should put your picture into the business card. Generally, a business card should be handed to the most senior person first. Also, cards should be presented with two hands to very important officials, but for all others there is no required etiquette
