RecommendationsHow to deal with the Swiss
Greeting:When meeting people, shake hands with all present. Swiss society is rather formal and people tend to address each other, by their surname. In German-speaking Switzerland, use the courtesy titles "Herr" and "Frau"; in French-speaking areas, use "Monsieur" and "Madame"; in Italian- speaking areas, use "Signore" and "Signora".
Communication:
The Swiss are private people, so try to avoid asking personal questions until a good relationship has been established. It is advisable to avoid jokes and engaging in any banter as this may be misconstrued.
Negotiations:
The Swiss are known for getting the best possible deal in negotiations without ever appearing aggressive or demanding.

RecommendationsHow to deal with the Singaporeans
• Business language – English;
• You must be punctual;
• Be ready for direct questions (citizens
are very straightforward);
• Women in business are equal partners;
• At meeting shake hands and give your card with two hands;
• Be ready for long business diners with big numbers of meals to eat and a lot cups of tea to drink;
• Don’t try to take any corruptive actions (there are no corruptions in Singapore and law is very strict).
