If a South Korean is bothered or confused by something that has been said, he or she will likely not express this concern verbally, but instead will expect you to know it from his or her body language or facial expression. When planning meetings, be sure to build in several breaks for smoking. Smoking is very common in South Korea, so this courtesy will be much appreciated. Avoid discussing money early in a business relationship. While the Taiwanese recognize the importance of profit, this society encourages concern for the good of the whole and, thus, does not give precedence to money issues.
Agreements are only as good as the piece of paper they are written on.
It is very common for negotiations to continue after an agreement has been signed. Keep in mind that the Thais are a bit less formal than others when conducting business. However, obvious breeches of Thai etiquette will be considered rude and will hurt your efforts. Asking if there are any questions or opinions from your Thai associates should be done in an indirect manner. Blunt questioning is considered bad form.
