Case Study

His job is to select computer equipment for city employees. You are adamant that you want all the specifications named clearly in a contract. However, the Chinese official is not interested in the technical and financial details. In a minimum of two pages, explain why having a cultural profile of people in the official’s cultural group could help you avoid a breakdown in communication in this situation. How can you get through the intercultural impasse and obtain a contract that both you and the Chinese official find acceptable?

The paper should follow APA guidelines for all resources for in-text citations, paraphrasing, and references. Remember to use the CSU Online Library to assist you in the research for this assignment.
