Etiquette has been called the grease that makes interaction between people flow smoothly. That's a pretty good definition. In the business world, it's important that people know and use proper etiquette, because (especially in today's world) international interaction can place serious stresses on negotiations. Etiquette, and knowing what to expect, makes those negotiations easier.
Even within a single office, etiquette is a mark of respect, for both the position and the person. It helps to reinforce the office hierarchy, and chain of responsibility. And it doesn't hurt to be polite to the guy who signs your paycheck.

Way to go, Old Lady! Hit the nail on the head. I might add that it's also part of the psychological games played in the business world whereby constraint, aloofness, and suppression of emotional outbursts are attributed to status, image, and control -- partly out of respect and partly to appear formidable to one's opponents.

I often spend my half an hour to read this blog's posts daily along with a mug of coffee.
