Intercultural Business Etiquette

Honduras
Business behavior
• It is best to show up on time, even though most Hondurans
do not.
• Discussion is usually done in an informal way, with the
strongest personalities asserting themselves and speaking.
• Small talk is not necessarily expected, but it is always
appreciated and strengthens a relationship.
• Meetings do not tend to follow strict agendas and can go
on for longer than scheduled.
Negotiations
• Avoid hard selling, pressure tactics and any sort of conflict
or confrontation.
• Decisions are usually made from the top down and take
awhile to be reached.
