GERMANS VERSUS ITALIANS
Germans value order, privacy and punctuality. They are thrifty, hard-working and industrious. Germans respect perfectionism in all areas of business and private life. There is an innate distaste for stepping out of line.
Family size is generally very small. Both parents often work outside the home. Responsibility and achievement are family values. It is common for young people to live together before or instead of marriage. There is greater variety of lifestyles in Germany today than in the past.
In corporate culture a strict vertical hierarchy exists, and power is held by a small number of people at the top. The corporate organization is logical and methodical; procedures and routines are done “by the book”.

The boss is respected for being strong and decisive and working hard. Subordinates rarely contradict or criticize the boss publicly. The boss gives direction and may make even minor decisions. Objective criticism isn’t given or received easily; compliments are seldom given for work accomplished.
Rank is also very important, and it would be a mistake to set up a meeting between two people of different ranks. Fast-track promotions are rare; steady progress and job security are considered more important than rapid promotion. Cars, size of office and holiday venues are all important symbols of individual success.
Cultural achievement is Italy’s greatest source of pride. Inventiveness, imagination, intelligence and education are prized. Personal relations are scrupulously maintained with loyalty highly valued, especially in families. Italians are receptive to new ideas and fresh solutions.
The family is the most important affiliation in Italy. Strong, traditional ties bind families together. Northern families live in a nuclear unit. In the south, many generations live in the same town or even the same home.
Speaking about corporal culture we must note that there is a wide diversity of organizational styles. Organizations are built mostly on personal alliances.
The boss of the company is generally the owner, chairman or managing director. The boss is respected for charisma, creativeness, empathy and reliability.
Nothing of importance is done by a textbook plan. Pragmatism and improvisation are the key to success – protocol, rules and organization charts are generally ignored.
Decisions are generally made and agreed to privately before meetings; the purpose of the meeting is to evaluate the mood and test the support of colleagues, not to make a decision. New ideas are generally cleared with everyone before being presented in meetings. Decisions that are made and agreed to may never be implemented.

BODY LANGUAGE
Germany
Germans may appear reserved and unfriendly until you get to know them better.
The “thumbs up” gesture means “one” (as in “one beer”) or may be a sign оf appreciation or agreement.
Making your hands into fists, thumbs tucked inside, and pounding lightly on a surface expresses “good luck”.
Germans never use the “OK” gesture (index finger and thumb joined together to make a circle) – it is considered very rude.
Germans never point the index finger to their head – this is an insult.
|
Italy
Men who are friends may embrace.
Persons of the same sex may walk arm-in-arm when in public.
Acquaintances may kiss cheeks.
Maintain eye contact while talking – otherwise Italians might think you are hiding something.
People push and shove in crowded places. It is not considered rude.
Italians are known for using the most body language of all Europeans, but its use is declining.
The fingertip kiss means beautiful; use to show appreciation for food, art, a woman, etc.
The “hand purse” (finger tips held together) means a question, something good, fear, etc. It is considered almost the Italian national gesture. Do not ever mimic these gestures!
The more refined Italians do not use hand gestures and many even consider them rude.
