INTRODUCTION TO THE CONTEXT
Business communication is the exchange of information between
individuals both within and outside of a firm. Management and staff communicate to
achieve organisational goals through effective business communication. Its goal is to
enhance organisational procedures and cut down on mistakes. International
communication is crucial since the Web has dissolved the borders between
countries. The world has evolved into a global society in which members must
interact in order to learn from one another and settle disputes.

corporate culture. Thus, the Confucian idea of Guanxi essentially implies
the need of a connection network built on the principles of solidarity,
loyalty, humility, and politeness. Second, in both business and privacy,

to safeguard individual reputations, influence, and dignity, Chinese people
will be cautious about saving face.
