As a senior manager in a medium-sized but highly profitable equipment manufacturing organization, you and other senior leaders have decided to partner with another company on several projects of mutual interest. Your company has the financial strength and market strength to join the partnership, and you have negotiated a tentative agreement with the other company. Your company is in Houston, Texas, in the United States, but the company you are partnering with is in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The other company has some very valuable products and customers, it has an experienced workforce, and it has great brand recognition.

What are some of the cultural areas that you need to know more about before you make the partnership of the companies happen? Specifically, what might the comparison and contrasts be in language, religion, forms of address, holidays, other time off, dress, and food? Research the culture, with particular focus on the business culture, and determine what cultural areas you must address to build a strong working partnership, and discuss how you will address each of them.

Present your ideas in a set of PowerPoint slides intended as a summary for your company managers. Use the Notes area of PowerPoint for your narrative textual information, with restricted use of text on the slides themselves. Review PowerPoint guidelines if you are not sure of the recommended way to set up the slides. Also refer to the PowerPoint Lab in the Learning Center, if needed.

You should use APA reference and citation format for the sources that you use to support your explanation and argument. Place citations on the relevant slides with one or two slides at the end for your reference list.

Instructions:

For this week’s IP assignment you are completing a Powerpoint presentation. Your Powerpoint should use between 12 and 15 slides. Review PowerPoint guidelines if you are not sure of the recommended way to set up the slides. Also refer to the PowerPoint Lab in the Learning Center, if needed. Make sure to list your References in your Final slide (as well as include in-text citations on slides where references have been used), at least three scholarly sources should be used (course textbook, Muse material, live chats, Intellipath nodes, scholarly online sources, or sources from the AIU library are all appropriate sources for your presentation).

The Powerpoint is a “mock” presentation, in which you present your ideas about an upcoming business merger for company management. Your task is to show management how to build a strong working partnership with the international business the company is planning to merge with; the international business is based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia while your company is based in Houston, Texas. You should focus your slides on comparing/contrasting cultural differences in language, religion, forms of address, holidays, other time off, dress, and food. You should also indicate in your slides specific methods/ways to build a strong working partnership with this company, despite cultural differences. Use the Notes area of PowerPoint for your narrative textual information, with restricted use of text on the slides themselves.

Instructor's Comments:

Research skills are an integral aspect of university courses at large and humanities-based courses in particular.

I require that students use at least 3 scholarly sources for all IP assignments. Two of those sources may be resources found within the course, but at least 1 source MUST come from outside the course content (i.e. you must do research, preferably in the library, but you may also use academic web sources).
