So I’m little afraid if I will behave correctly during this meetings! Can someone give me some information? What do I have bear in mind??? Please help me.
I'm not living in Austria and I don't know very much about the Austrian business etiquette but I found some interesting recommendations in the web.
Here They are:
Business Meeting Etiquette
• Appointments are necessary and should be made 3 to 4 weeks in advance when meeting with private companies.
• Do not try to schedule meetings in August, the two weeks surrounding Christmas, or the week before Easter.
• Punctuality is taken extremely seriously. If you expect to be delayed, telephone immediately and offer an explanation.
• It is extremely rude to cancel a meeting at the last minute and it could ruin your business relationship.
• Meetings are formal.
• Presentations should be accurate and precise.
• Have back-up material and be prepared to defend everything: Austrians are meticulous about details.
• Meetings adhere to strict agendas, including starting and ending times. If you have an agenda, it will be followed.
• Follow-up with a letter outlining what was agreed, what the next steps are, and who is the responsible party.
What to Wear?
• Business dress is conservative and follows most European conventions.
• Men should wear dark coloured, conservative business suits with white shirts.
• Women should wear either business suits or conservative dresses, complimented with elegant accessories.
