Non-verbal communication is a basic part of message transmission in the communication process; it contributes to a better understanding of people all over the world and it is also highly present in the business world. For this reason, understanding non-verbal elements is of a significant importance in terms of better and easier functioning in personal life, a better understanding of people around the world and their culture, but also helps in personal growth in a business sphere. The thesis has not been prepared with the help of a field research, but rather on the basis of available literature. This means that it does not offer a solution to the problem, but is a representation of the non-verbal world in the domains that we mentioned earlier. The thesis is divided into several chapters. In the first part, there is an explanation for non-verbal elements and definitions; the second part is focused on non-verbal cultural differences while the last part is about non-verbal communication in a business environment, as well as the differences in business ethics around the world.
