Business Etiquette
Business people in Buenos Aires are very conscious of status and expect to conduct any business dealings with people of an equal footing. Business cards are commonly exchanged by way of introduction. A handshake is standard when greeting a man; a kiss on each cheek when meeting a woman. In keeping with the general style of the city, smart dress is appropriate as is a high degree of respect. Whenever possible, business should be conducted in Spanish although many Argentinean business people do speak English as a second language. It's best to allow for plenty of room when organising business meetings as there can be a relaxed attitude towards timekeeping.
Normal business hours are Monday to Friday 0900 to 1900, or even later, and a siesta doesn't usually feature in Buenos Aires' business community. In general, conduct is similar to any large European city, with business deals often conducted over lunch.
