".. light touch on the (woman's) shoulder ..." can be viewed as an intrusion of private space, and must be exercised with caution. In fact I know of female would not tolerate such gesture.
While this may apply to Western business world, one must be careful and be aware of the cultural background and behaviour of the person you are dealing with.
In addition, some people would not shake hand because they are very conscious of and concerned with contamination by germs or filth. Donald Trump once admitted that he would not shake hand with people. If you see him doing so in the future, write and remind him that he has sanitise his hand.
