Importance of Business Etiquette: A Sociological View

Scientific Essay from the year 2013 in the subject Sociology - Economy and Industry, grade: B, Indira Gandhi National Open University, language: English, abstract: The sociology behind changing of academic and professional outlook towards business etiquette remains largely unexplored. Business etiquette is not an entirely professional pursuit or workplace specific issue. Etiquettes are in fact ways of building and maintaining social relationships. Several researchers have explained this with relation to the rise of modern industry and commerce along with their deeper socio-economic effects. Consequently, business etiquette is evolving as a subject which should have more distinction in the academic world.

I am currently working as a researcher, technical writer and content developer on a freelance basis. I have over 9 years experience in IT/ ITeS/ K.P.O. and B.P.O. sectors. I also do paralegal jobs privately. I wish to work with professional minded people inclined to flexible schedules but having strict business commitment. However, for being an inter-disciplinary researcher, it has become both a professional imperative and an amateur enthusiasm for me to explore horizontal fields as well as vertical specializations. Although I am a social sciences graduate with global certifications in Microsoft and Cisco technologies, I have to take interest in various subjects ranging from infrastructure management to common law.
