    INTRODUCTION

    When working in the global commercial environment, knowledge of the impact of cultural differences is

    one of the key to international business success. Each country profile contains information on a range of

    topics of immediate commercial relevance to anybody working in a global organization or studying

    international trade. Culture is just one perspective that can help us to understand more about a business.

    'Business culture' is not just about how others see a business, but also about how the individuals within an

    organization understand it. In this research we explore how the concept of culture developed from

    research into differences between cultures at a national level. It is possible to see, or feel, tha t one

    business is different from another, and that this involves more than just how it presents itself to the

    outside world.

    Attitudes and values form the basis of any culture. They reflect the ways people think and behave.

    Knowledge of attitudes and values can therefore be of significant importance if you wish to communicate

    with your counterparts effectively. Ignorance can result in a cultural barrier that may hinder the

    communication process and have a detrimental effect on the success of your activities in a given country.

    CULTURAL OBJECTIVES

    Culture defines the complex of distinct elements from a spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional

    point of view, which describes o society or a social group. The culture includes not only art but literature

  • 8/10/2019 Business Culture Report of UK

    5/22

    as well as the communitys way of life, the fundamental human rights the values systems, the traditions

    and the beliefs.

    This country-specific section gives a comprehensive description of British business culture which will

    help you to interact more effectively with your British clients and colleagues. Although each sub-section

    on the right focuses on one particular area of business culture in Britain, it is recommended that all of the

    sections are studied in the order they are shown.

    The culture of UK is defined by the idiosyncratic cultural norms of England and the English people.

    Owing to England's dominant position within the United Kingdom it can be difficult to differentiate

    English culture from the culture of the United Kingdom as a whole.

    THE CULTURAL ANALYSIS

    LOCATION AND GEOGRAPHY

    England covers 50,357 square miles (130,423 square kilometers) of the main island of the British Isles

    and lies off the northwestern coast of Europe, separated from the mainland by the English Channel. The

    Gulf Stream makes the climate mild and rainy.

    LANGUAGE

    English people traditionally speak the English language, a member of the West Germanic language

    family. The modern English language evolved from Old English, with lexical influence from Norman-

  • 8/10/2019 Business Culture Report of UK

    6/22

    [BUSINESS CULTURE OF UK] May 1, 2014

    5

    French, Latin, and Old Norse. There were once many different dialects in England - which were recorded

    in projects such as the English Dialect Dictionary and the Survey of English Dialects - but many of these

    have passed out of usage as Standard English has spread through education, the media and socioeconomic

    pressures. Cornish, a Celtic language originating in Cornwall, are currently spoken by about 3,500 people

    as a second language.

    SPORTS

    There are many sports which have been codified by the English, and then spread worldwide, including

    badminton, cricket, croquet, football, field, lawn tennis, rugby league, rugby union, table tennis and

    thoroughbred horse racing. In the late 18th century, the English game of rounders was transported to the

    American Colonies, where it evolved into baseball. Association football, cricket, rugby union and rugby

    are considered to be the national sports of England. Tennis is also a major sport, with one of the sport's

    most internationally prestigious tournaments being held at Wimbledon.

    CLOTHING

    Traditional dark grey and dark blue suits are less in evidence then in the past - except for sectors such as

    the law and banking and finance. If suits are worn, white, blue or pink shirts and reasonably sober ties are

    typical. In the more senior circles in the 'City', men will often wear cufflinks.

    BUSINESS CUSTOMS

    Meeting and Greeting

    The handshake is the common form of greeting.

    Avoid prolonged eye contact as it makes people feel uncomfortable.

    Introduce a younger person to an older person.

    Introduce a person of lower status to a person of higher status.

    When two people are of similar age and rank, introduce the one you know better to the other

    person.

    Gift Giving Etiquette

    The British exchange gifts between family members and close friends for birthdays and

    Christmas.

    The gift need not be expensive, but it should usually demonstrate an attempt to find something

    that related to the recipients interests.

    If invited to someone's home, it is normal to take along a box of good chocolates, a good bottle of

    wine or flowers.

    Dining Etiquette

    Unlike many European cultures, the British enjoy entertaining in people their homes.

    Although the British value punctuality, you may arrive 10-15 minutes later than invited to dinner.

    However, if going to a restaurant be on time.

    Table manners are Continental, i.e. the fork is held in the left hand and the knife in the right while

    eating.

    The fork is held tines down so food is scooped on to the back of the fork. This is a skill that takes

    time to master.

    Remain standing until invited to sit down. You may be shown to a particular seat.

    Do not rest your elbows on the table.

    THE POLTICAL, LEGAL AND INVESTMENT CLIMATE ANALYSIS

    THE POLTICAL SYSTEM

    The UK political system is a multi-party system. Since the 1920s, the two largest political parties have

    been the conservative party and the labor party. Before the Labor Party rose in British politics, the liberal

    party was the other major political party along with the Conservatives. Though coalition and minority

  • 8/10/2019 Business Culture Report of UK

    9/22

    [BUSINESS CULTURE OF UK] May 1, 2014

    8

    governments have been an occasional feature of parliamentary politics, the first-past-the-post electoral

    system used for general elections tends to maintain the dominance of these two parties, though each has in

    the past century relied upon a third party such as the liberal democrats to deliver a working majority in

    Parliament. The current Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government is the first coalition since

    1945.

    THE QUEEN

    Great Britain is a constitutional monarchy. This means that the official head of the State is the monarch (a

    king or a queen) but his or her powers are limited by the constitution. For years it has been Her Majesty

    Queen Elizabeth II

    The Queen is only a formal and symbolic head of State. Her duties are e.g. - she holds receptions and

    State banquets, she visits various parts of Britain every year, she gives audiences to the Prime Minister

    and other important persons, she pays state visits and undertakes tours in other countries of the

    Commonwealth, she formally summons and dissolves Parliament. (The Queens speech, with which the

    Queen opens each session of Parliament, is prepared by the government and read by the Queen). Besides

    she is commander-in-chief of all armed forces and the head of the Church of England. She also awards

    various titles and orders, etc.

    THE U.K. GOVERNMENT

    All Government Ministers have to be a member of either the House of Commons (most of them) or the

    House of Lords (the remainder of them) and every Government Department will have at least one

  • 8/10/2019 Business Culture Report of UK

    10/22

    [BUSINESS CULTURE OF UK] May 1, 2014

    9

    Minister in the Lords, so that the Department can speak in either House as necessary. The number of

    Ministers varies from administration to administration, but typically there will be around 90, the 20 or so

    most senior being Cabinet Ministers. In addition, there are around 20 whips that are on the Government

    payroll.

    CIVIL SOCIETY

    One cannot explain a liberal democracy such as the United Kingdom simply by talking about the formal

    political and governmental institutions, any more than one can understand fish without talking about

    water.

    Democratic government cannot operate without a strong civil society to support it and hold political and

    governmental bodies to account. The special history of the UK - involving gradual changes over long

    periods - has created a subtle but effective civil society that outsiders often find a little difficult to

    understand. So it is useful to list some of the more important elements of such a civil society:

    Bill of Rights- Although Britain does not have a written constitution, it does have a Bill of Rights

    because it is a signatory to the European Convention on Human Rights which was drawn up by a body

    called the Council of Europe. The European Convention is part of our domestic law so that it can be

    enforced in our domestic courts as well as in the European Court of Human Rights.

    Independent judiciary- judges are appointed through an independent process and operate totally

    independently of government. They can find that a Government Minister has acted against a law of the

    UK Parliament or a Directive of the European Union or against the European Convention and require the

    Minister to change his actions.

    Freedom of information legislation-They have a Freedom of Information Act which is a piece of

    legislation that obliges national government, local government and most public bodies to provide any

  • 8/10/2019 Business Culture Report of UK

    11/22

    [BUSINESS CULTURE OF UK] May 1, 2014

    10

    information requested by a citizen. The only exceptions are things like information which concern

    national security, commercial confidentiality or the private matters of citizens.

    Trade unions- About a quarter of workers in Britain are members of trade unions representing different

    occupational groups or industries. These trade unions are totally independent of government and

    employers.

    Pressure groupsThey have lots and lots of organizations that campaign publicly on political issues

    such as poverty, pensions, and the environment. They perform an invaluable role in putting forward ideas

    and holding politicians to account.

    Charities and voluntary groups- Similarly they have lots and lots of organizations that do some of the

    things that government does as well such as running schools and hospitals, looking after the poor and old,

    and cleaning up the environment.

    OPENESS TO FOREIGN INVESTMENT

    The United States remains the primary source of foreign direct investment (FDI) into the UK. In FY

    2011-2012, the United States contributed 24% of all inward investment projects to the UK and over 30%

    of all inward investment-generated jobs. In 2011, the United States contributed FDI inflows of USD 227

    billion, an increase of 15% from 2010. The UK was the world's seventh largest recipient of foreign direct

    investment in 2011, slipping from fifth position in 2012, receiving USD 53.9 billion, according to the

    United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). Despite the drop in ranking,

    however, inflows increased 7 percent over 2011. The UK attracted 17 percent of all European Union (EU)

    FDI inflows, the highest percentage for a single EU country, but this position is being challenged, with

    Germanys share of FDI rising for the fifth year in a row to reach 15 percent.

    12/22

    [BUSINESS CULTURE OF UK] May 1, 2014

    11

    With a few exceptions, the UK does not discriminate between nationals and foreign individuals in the

    formation and operation of private companies. U.S. companies establishing British subsidiaries generally

    encounter no special nationality requirements on directors or shareholders, although at least one director

    of any company registered in the UK must be ordinarily resident in the UK. Once established in the UK,

    foreign-owned companies are treated no differently from UK firms. Within the EU, the British

    Government is a strong defender of the rights of any British- registered company, irrespective of its

    nationality of ownership.

    Market entry for U.S. firms is greatly facilitated by a common language, legal heritage, and similar

    business institutions and practices. Long-term political, economic, and regulatory stability, coupled with

    relatively low rates of taxation and inflation make the UK particularly attractive to foreign investors. The

    Coalition Government, formed between Conservatives and Liberal Democrats in May 2010, is committed

    to economic reforms, including privatization, deregulation, and support for competition. Both political

    parties in the coalition believe in a liberal economic policy.

    The UK imposes few impediments to foreign ownership. The UK subscribes to the OECD Codes of

    Liberalization of Capital Movements and of Current Invisible Operations, as well as the OECD National

    Treatment Instrument.

    THE ECONOMIC ANALYSIS

    POPULATION

    Current population of UK is 63.7 million. Office for National Statistics predicted that the UK will have 10

    million more people within the next 25 years (Telegraph).

    GNP, INCOME AND WEALTH

    Gross National Product in the United Kingdom increased to 400795 GBP Million in the fourth quarter of

    2013 from 398055 GBP Million in the third quarter of 2013. Gross National Product in the United

    Kingdom is reported by the Office for National Statistics. Gross National Product in the United Kingdom

    averaged 132108.97 GBP Million from 1955 until 2013, reaching an all-time high of 409331 GBP

    Million in the second quarter of 2013 and a record low of 4776 GBP Million in the first quarter of 1955

    (Trading Economics).

    Average Per Capita Income of UK in the period of 2009-2013 is $38,920 (World Bank).

    have hit 7.05trn at the end of 2012.

    One in ten households in the UK is sitting on assets of around 1m, according to research from the

    London School of Economics. Researchers for Lloyds TSB Private Banking said that despite the current

  • 8/10/2019 Business Culture Report of UK

    14/22

    [BUSINESS CULTURE OF UK] May 1, 2014

    13

    tough state of the economy, there has been a 2.71trn increase over the past decade, equal to a gain of

    86,000 per household since 2003 (Sky).

    WORKING CONDITIONS

    Workers' rights in the UK will depend on their general rights under the law and their contract of

    employment. The contract of employment can only give the worker more rights.

    The National Minimum Wage rate per hour is 6.19 for workers aged 21 and over. This rate is to rise to

    6.31 from October 1, 2013.Nearly all workers are also entitled to at least four weeks paid annual leave,

    sick pay, maternity and paternity leave. All employers have a duty to take care of the health and safety of

    all their employees. Salaries will vary greatly depending on the nature of the job, the industry and the

    location. Further, there are special rules about the employment of children and young people (Migration

    Expert).

    FOREIGN INVESTMENT

    The UK was the leading economy out of the 27 member states of the EU, with foreign investors spending

    $53bn in Britain last year. That kept the UK in the top ten globally for foreign investment, although it

    slipped from sixth position in 2012 last year (Telegraph). Foreign investment in UK rises despite slump

    across rest of Europe. UN figures suggest investors seeing Britain as haven for their money amid

    Eurozone crisis (The Guardian).

    BALANCE OF PAYMENTS

    The United Kingdoms current account deficit was 59.2 billion in 2012, up from a deficit of

    22.5 billion in 2011. The deficit in 2012 equated to 3.8% of GDP at current market prices, the highest

    since 1989 (4.6%).

    The trade deficit widened to 33.9 billion in 2012, from 23.3 billion in 2011.

    The income balance switched to a deficit of 2.3 billion, from a surplus of 22.5 billion in 2011.

    The financial account recorded net inward investment of 48.2 billion during 2012, up from

    11.5 billion in 2011.

    The international investment position recorded UK net liabilities of 141.6 billion at the end of

    2012 (ONS.GOV.UK)

    CURRENCY AND INFLATION

    The currency of UK is British Pounds Sterling. The UK inflation rate as measured by the Consumer

    Prices Index (CPI) fell to 1.6% in March from 1.7% in February, according to the Office for National

    Statistics (ONS).

    LABOR FORCE

    Labor force total in the United Kingdom was last measured at 31831748.95 in 2010, according to the

    World Bank. Total labor force comprises people ages 15 and older who meet the International Labor

  • 8/10/2019 Business Culture Report of UK

    16/22

    [BUSINESS CULTURE OF UK] May 1, 2014

    15

    Organization definition of the economically active population: all people who supply labor for the

    production of goods and services during a specified period. It includes both the employed and the

    unemployed. While national practices vary in the treatment of such groups as the armed forces and

    seasonal or part-time workers, in general the labor force includes the armed forces, the unemployed and

    first-time job-seekers, but excludes homemakers and other unpaid caregivers and workers in the informal

    sector (Trading Economics).

    CUSTOM REGULATIONS

    If you are travelling to the UK from the EU, you can bring an unlimited amount of most goods for your

    own use without paying tax or duty. But when you travel to the UK from outside the EU, you can bring a

    certain amount of duty and tax-free goods for your own use. This is known as your allowance, and applies

    to alcohol, tobacco, perfume, souvenirs and other goods. If you go over this allowance, you may have to

    pay tax or duty. It is important to know about Customs and Excise regulations that apply to banned and

    special license goods. Banned goods are always confiscated and people could also face fines for trying to

    bring them into the UK.

    IMPORT LICENSE REQUIREMENTS

    Importing goods without the right license is a criminal offence in UK, so its important to have a import

    license. There are controls on imports including firearms, plants and animals, foods, medicines, textiles

    and chemicals. Whether you need a license can also depend on where the goods are coming from. You

    may need a license even if you are only importing goods temporarily.

    MAJOR ECONOMIC TRENDS AND OUTLOOK

    The UK economy has mounted a strong recovery over the past year and expects this to continue in 2014-

    15. Most sectors and regions of the economy are now showing positive growth trends, with recent signs

    that business investment is also starting to pick up. In the longer term, re-shoring could also boost output

    and employment in both manufacturing and services.

    However, while the recovery has been rich in jobs, it has been poor in productivity and wages. Median

    real household incomes remain well below pre-recession peaks and can only be expected to recover

    gradually over the next few years.

    Therefore, while the economy as a whole is firmly on the road to recovery, it may be some years before

    many low and middle earners feel the recession is really over (PWC).

    MARKET ANALYSIS

    MARKET RESEARCH

    Market research is any organized effort to gather information about target markets or customers. Market

    research provides important information to identify and analyze the market need, market size and

    competition.

    To be successful and to earn profit while doing business in UK it is necessary to find a gap in market to

    exploit. Whether to launch a new product idea or offer a new service to an unconquered area, the aim will

    be sameto stand out. Understanding their market will help to create a business strategy; Market

  • 8/10/2019 Business Culture Report of UK

    18/22

    [BUSINESS CULTURE OF UK] May 1, 2014

    17

    research will also help businessman to better understand the competition - and ultimately how to make

    your business perform better than others.

    There are many different ways to conduct market research, if your business is on the smaller end of the

    scale, you will be able to collect most, if not all, of the necessary market data yourself. If youre aiming

    for global domination, you might need some outside help.

    CHANNELS OF DISTRIBUTION

    Distribution channels are the methods that companies use to enter the consumer market with their

    product. While many methods exist, they have changed over the years because of the internet and global

    sales. In UK channels of distribution consist of distributors, wholesalers, retailers, direct sales agents and

    online networks. Most companies that produce goods and services do not sell them directly to their end

    consumers. Typically, firms rely on retailers to distribute their product. For example, a food

    manufacturer uses several retailers to display and sell its products. The retailer is considered to be an

    intermediary within the manufacturer's distribution channel.

    The type of intermediaries that exist in channels of distribution include wholesalers and retailers, brokers,

    manufacturers' representatives, sales agents, transportation companies, independent warehouses, banks

    and advertising agencies.

    MEDIA OF UK

    Media of the UK consist of several different types of communications media: television, radio,

    newspapers, magazines, and Web sites. The country also has a strong music industry. UK has a diverse

    range of providers, the most prominent being the state-owned public service broadcaster, the BBC

    (British Broadcasting Corporation). Their media is free; newspapers, radio and television can say what

    they want about the Parliament, the Government and politicians.

    RECOMMENDATIONS

    The business culture is different from another and this involves more than just how it presents itself to the

    outside world.

    Culture illustrates the accepted norms, values and traditional behavior of a group through each country

    should know the business culture their beliefs, values and attitudes of the other countries.

    With this we can know about their market tastes, preferences and what distribution channel they mostly

    use. As a businessman you will find advantage in doing business in UK, because they treat foreign as well

    as local investor on same level.

    For importing goods, getting an import license is extremely imperative. As importing without license can

    be a criminal offence. Therefore, great care should be taken by importers.

    A businessman of luxury product can have a greater advantage of his product, as income shows prosperity

    among UKsnation. So if one has intended to start business of luxury products, has a great opportunity of

    success in UKs business environment.

    There is no general etiquette with regard to business cards, though they are generally exchanged

    (sometimes even at the end of the meeting). It is recommended to exchange them at the start of the

    meeting; it can make it easier to remember who you are meeting, and your British hosts will appreciate

    the aid. Ensure your business cards have your name and title in English. Note your host may not have

    cards at the meeting and may need to get them.

    Be on time for meetings. Whilst not strictly focused on nowadays, if you are late it will reflect badly on

    your hosts view of your companys capabilities. Noteyour host may well be late. If travelling any

    distance or if driving yourself be aware that the roads are typically quite congested and ask for advice on

    travel times.

    CONCLUSION

    In this report it is concluded that understanding of a countrys culture is mandatory before starting the

    business. In order to gain competitive advantage of doing business in UK, knowledge of the regions

    language, business custom, national culture, religion, business infrastructure are necessary. The

    knowledge will help in development of business strategies according to their specific culture and

    preferences.

    Countries possess uniqueness in terms of their beliefs, values and cultural activities. Culture is a key

    component in business and has an immense impact on the strategic direction of business. It influences

    management decisions and all business functions from accounting to production.

    Along many reasons that support the business investments in UK, one is that UK government doesnt

    discriminate between national and foreign individuals in formation of private companies. One can assess

    the need of investment and can earn considerable profit. To earn revenue, evaluation of the business to

    21/22

    [BUSINESS CULTURE OF UK] May 1, 2014

    20

    invest, economic policies and regulations are necessary. Once a company is established, no difference in

    the treatment of government will be felt from UK based local firms.

    UK provides opportunity for manufactures of luxury products, as the income and wealth level of

    population is favorable in the environment.

    Civil society also gives advantage to foreign businessman, in the form of bill of rights, free media and

    trade unions. Political, economic and legal stability attracts investors to enter in UK markets. Tax and

    inflation rate is also very low due to which many businessmen prefer UK markets.
