Traditional Chinese

在臺灣開會的時候,通常會依照會議大綱或是會議流程來進行。但是常常會因為一些細節問題引起大家的討論而偏離了主題,但是這些細節問題通常不會影響到最後決策的結果。當你在開會的時候,感覺大家好像在討論到很多象細節的問題,你最好不要出來制止這個會議,通常是主席來做決定。因為在臺灣如果主席夠明快的話,會立刻停止這個話題的討論。但是有些主席會讓這些會比較想聽到這些細節討論出來的結果,而讓會議會會讓會議的時間會拖得很長。OK.

English

When you hold a meeting in Taiwan, you usually follow an agenda. But often trivial issues cause the discussion to diverge from the main topic. But these trivial issues don’t usually affect the decisions that are made. When you’re in a meeting and feel like everyone is making a bunch of irrelevent points, you shouldn’t interrupt the discussion; the chairperson makes that decision. In Taiwan, chairpeople who are to the point will immediately put a stop to discussion on these points. But some chairpeople will allow these, they’ll want to hear where these digressions go, which can make meetings, which can make meetings drag on for a long time. OK.
