Intercultural training for Taiwan

The “Intercultural Training Taiwan” course offers participants the opportunity to learn about the unique characteristics of Taiwanese culture in order to successfully establish partnerships.

Our experienced trainers combine in-depth knowledge of Taiwan with practical exercises to teach participants effective techniques for dealing with different cultural environments. The seminar offers concrete assistance for work situations such as meetings, negotiations, or difficult situations and addresses your individual requirements and questions.

Despite its shared cultural roots with mainland China, Taiwan has developed several distinctive characteristics due to its historical, political, and economic background. Although Taiwan shares fundamental cultural values and many customs with mainland China, subtle nuances and clear differences in everyday and working life justify a separate focus on Taiwan.

In our intercultural training courses focusing on Taiwan, we take a practical approach to a wide range of issues that you encounter in everyday life. Our interactive seminars for Taiwan aim to broaden and deepen your understanding of the fundamental cultural values, communication styles, and business practices in the individual markets. Through intercultural examples, real-life case studies, role-plays, and practical dos and don’ts, you will acquire the intercultural know-how to develop and adapt your own strategies and tactics for harmonious and productive collaboration with your virtual teams and business partners across borders.

Professional expertise meets a pleasant personality. Ms. Weidlich has understood how to make the seminar not only exciting, but also scientifically sound and remarkably empathetic.

How do people in Taiwan view gestures and facial expressions?

A traditional Chinese saying goes that a gentleman does not demonstrate his happiness or anger on his face. The same attitude holds also for loud and emotional voices, hand gestures and other body languages. People who speak with animated facial expressions and body movements, especiall on formal occasions, may be viewed as not respectful, not rational, not trustworthy or not serious. This may affect their perceived maturity, credibility and authority. Traditionally it is considered well-cultured not to reveal emotions with the face and the body. Much direct and intense eye contacts should also be avoided to show respect, especially towards people who are senior in ranks or in age.

Although it is not advisable to gesture a lot or in an animated manner in order to earn respect and build credibility in business setting, among family members and close friends, or in informal settings, expressive faces or lively body languages are not rare to see. Also, more and more urban young people have started to adopt western communication styles, consciously or not.

It often happens that Germans write on the business cards received to make notes of the people they have met. Why is this taken as offensive in Taiwan?

Names cards are considered to represent the ‘faces’ of people and therefore should always be handled with respect and care.

For example, they should always be given and received with both hands, dutifully ‘studied’, kept clean on the meeting tables or into name card cases. While people in Taiwan may sometimes write on their own name cards, to add an extra phone number or contact hours, it is generally viewed as rude to write on other people’s name cards, especially in their presence.
