Business Etiquette: more than using the right silverware

Perform research on proper business etiquette using a variety of resources.  Using the information you are to create a product that can be published and presented to your classmates this can not be a powerpoint (you will create a powerpoint for your presentation). You are to get creative, use your imagination and available resources.

Your final product and presentation should answer all of the following, but is NOT limited to the following:

• Handshakes
  
• Appearance
  
• Introductions
  
• Behavior at meals
  
• Humor
  
• Email
  
• Specific customs of the 3 countries you choose
  
• Respecting your cubemates

Your presentation must include props (powerpoint is expected, so must include something else, such as: posters, dressing up, a skit, etc.) and you must practice prior to the presentation.  I expect that you will know your material and you will be able to answer any questions that anyone has.
