RATIONALE
Protocol involves etiquette on a local and international scale, and the practice of good manners on a daily basis. It evolved as a result of old traditions, when in the early days of civilization hospitality was extended to an arriving guest. Today it is particularly important because it does not only cover the ceremonial rules that are followed during official functions and how to behave on these special occasions, but also provide a set of established rules of courteousness that are to be respected in the society.
Business in the 21st century is global and working people of all nationalities and cultures are brought into contact with one another. Different countries, states and institutions have different rules about acceptable behaviour and ignorance of these rules lead to unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts. Confidence comes from knowing you are doing the right things right. Therefore, this course will help its participants know the facets of modern protocol, etiquette and understand global business practices.
