The business etiquette, as an interpersonal communication lubricant, has become more and more important. Therefore, the education and research of business etiquette cannot be ignored. Although many professionals and school personnel conducted the research on business etiquette from different perspectives, the etiquette is still not paid enough attention in the school education, and some researchers just generally rely on their theory and experience to explore schools business etiquette education.My research is built on the theory combined with more practical data analysis.

It refers to the established standards of conduct and procedures that people use to beautify themselves and respect others during the various social interactions. It embodies the politeness, courtesy, appearance, rite, etc. Etiquette is an important symbol of human civilization and social progress, which is not only the key part of communication, but also is the external manifestation of morality and culture.Starting from different perspectives, the definition of etiquette often can be made in a different interpretation.From the self-cultivation perspective, that is cognition and application. Etiquette can be said to be a persons internal culture and education.From the moral perspective, etiquette can be defined as the code of conduct or the standard practice in society.From the communication perspective, it can be said to be an art of interpersonal application, or to be a method of communication.From the folk-custom perspective, it can be said to be the respectful, friendly conventional practices established in social interaction.In short, etiquette is the practices that people how to behave themselves. Knowing the statements about etiquette above, you will further deepen your understanding for etiquette, and master it more accurately.2.2 The Characteristics of Business EtiquetteWhen etiquette is used in business, it is formed into the business etiquette. That is to say, in the business interaction, there is a certain established and accepted procedure and means abiding by people to show respect to each other. The central role of the business etiquette is to reflect the mutual respect between people. Briefly, business etiquette is a general requirement for peoples appearance and manners in the business activities.For the classification, the widely common types are such as business negotiation etiquette, business letter etiquette, greeting etiquette, gift etiquette, conference etiquette, telephone etiquette, banquet etiquette and so on. Because business etiquette is a comprehensive subject, the so-called several branches, are relative. The different branches of business etiquette are mingling with each other.The characteristics of Business Etiquette 1. Focus on credibilityFor both sides engaged in the business activities, they have the need of interests, rather than the unilateral need of interests. Therefore, in the business activities, honesty and good faith are very important. The so-called honesty is to be earnest and sincere participation in business activities, strive to reach an agreement, not rhetoric, without sincerity; the so-called good faith is that promise must be kept and action must be resentful. 2. Focus on the effectiveness for a given period of timeThe timing of business activities is very strong. If things are past for a proper time, you will lose the good opportunity. In the business activities, if your talk and action is just exactly to the right degree, the problem and trouble will be solved immediately.3. Focus on culture Although business activity is an economic activity, the requirement of culture is very high. Therefore, if business people want to reflect the good etiquette, elegant speaking style, tasteful manners, they must continue to improve their quality of cultures, set up the civilized enterprise images and perform with civilized, graceful and polite manners in the business activities.2.3 The Importance and Necessity of Business EtiquetteBy learning about the general concept and content of etiquette and business etiquette well, we can find the study of business etiquette is very significant. 1. The role of business etiquette in the international community:Under the global economic integration, in order to gain a foothold in fierce business competition, apart from the quality, interpersonal relations, what we need is to know about business etiquette. Business etiquette can display the civilized levels of enterprises, its management styles, moral standards, and build the image of corporations. As is known, good business etiquette is an intangible asset, which undoubtedly can create a good business atmosphere and lay a good foundation for the cooperation of enterprises. 2. The role of business etiquette in daily business interaction and behaviors.Business etiquette can reflect a persons communication skills and ability. It also indicates a persons temperament, experience, moral standard and spiritual appearance. For English majors, especially those who will meet different people in the business communication, it is an art learning for them to know how to contact with them in the workplace. The cultivation of business etiquette can help them to specify their own communicative behavior and enhance mutual understanding and trust. It also will help to create a perfect interpersonal relationship in the daily business. Therefore, for English majors, the combination of language and business etiquette learning can bring them an enormous amount of wealth. 3. The role for realizing the final value for students cultivation in the universities.As a university institution of higher education, in order to get advantage in the high education market competition, the orientation of student cultivation for university is very crucial. In the universities, not only do the students need rich knowledge and skills, but also to improve their personal quality and etiquette behaviors. What the university need is to aim at the society, making sure their study goals and cultivating the application-oriented, practical talents with high qualities. As we know, a knowledgeable student without moral standards and good etiquette behaviors, are impossible to be an excellent talents in the future. So, learning etiquette will pave the successful way for students career further and seize better opportunities for their job-hunting in the future.2.4 Related Studies on Business EtiquetteOur country has always been well known as the nation of ceremonies. Since ancient times, many people have researched the etiquette from different perspective. For instance, starting from the origin of the etiquette, researchers systematically researched ancient etiquette culture, to explore these historical reasons and theories caused by etiquette cultures (葛晨虹, 2001). With the rapid economic development, people enter the modern society, some people described and summarized the various modern etiquettes and its norms and requirements in details, which let people, have a better use for etiquette and promoted their exchanges with each other in daily life. (Baldrige, Letitia, 2003). In all etiquettes, the business etiquette in todays business world has the role of advance. Some researchers focused on the business etiquette aspects, they explained the basic concept of business etiquette and provided some help to the business people in international relations. (何伶俐, 2003; Jacqueline Whitmore, 2005; Paget Post、李琳娜, 2006). In order to adapt to the fierce business competition and needs of international business contact, there are some researches focusing on the business negotiation skills and etiquette learning for business people (方明亮, 2006; Mark Kass, 2007). An overview of home and broad research shows that it is urgent to develop etiquette education now, and this is also the schools duty. Aimed at the students and schools as the main research, it has become more and more important to know their opinions for etiquette in modern society. Students should learn and master basic business etiquette knowledge (刘宝恒, 2004; 丁立群，2008). During teaching, developing business etiquette courses, making students know how to use proper etiquette in theory (James L. Stapleton, 2006), these all are the popular topics for researchers.For my research, it is based on their theories and combination, from general to specific, from common to individual, focused on our school Neusoft English majors, to analyze their business etiquette knowledge skills, Through the questionnaire, we can find the specific data and get what we want, thus finding out students strength and weakness. It is also useful for school staff to know how to improve students competence in business etiquette, and provide the precious suggestion for teaching reform. 东北大学东软信息学院毕业设计（论文） III. MethodologyIII.
