Meeting
Schedules
Peruvians, as with most Latin
Americans, demonstrate a relaxed attitude towards schedules.
It is common for them to arrive an hour or more later to
a social event. Therefore, it is a good idea to remind others
beforehand about respecting the meeting time.
Attire
Formal attire is preferable
for business meetings unless they are carried out in recreational
areas or in the countryside. Formal clothing consists
of a two-piece suit and a necktie for men. Tuxedos
are worn only for very formal or diplomatic events. A
dark suit is recommended for nightly meetings or funerals.
The
Peruvian Business person
The Peruvian business person
is typically serious, honest, and hard working. A business
idiosyncrasy in Peru is the problem business people have
when it comes time to express lack of interest or to simply
say no. It is not unusual that they keep you waiting for
a decision without actually telling you ‘no’.
