La Rosaleda – MiraCosta College

For this project, we discussed and read about business and workplace customs and etiquette, both in the United States and in other countries.  Then students chose a country (usually their own native countries) and made PowerPoint presentations giving tips for getting along in the workplace with people from that country and doing business or visiting the country they chose.

What do you know about business customs and etiquette in the USA?  Take these quizzes to find out:

USA Today 15-point quiz (with audio) 

Instructor-created quiz 

Extra reading (optional):  U.S. Business Culture and MSN Careers’ article “Professional Etiquette You Don’t Think About”
