Scenario: A business group from another country has offered to
purchase a franchise of Sandwich Blitz. Dalman and Lei are very
interested and quite excited for this opportunity for their business
to enter the competitive international marketplace. A meeting has been
arranged between Dalman, Lei, and three representatives from the
business group to discuss the details of the proposed franchise.
Dalman and Lei have agreed to travel to the business group’s country
for the meeting. They realize that this is a very important meeting
because it involves networking with key individuals who will heavily
influence the outcome of this attempt to expand the business. They
also realize that the values and norms in the other country could
possibly be very different from their own. For the purposes of this
Discussion, choose a country other than your own and conduct an online
search to learn about the cultural norms, business and meeting
practices, and values in the country that you select. (Cite your
outside sources.) Prior to the meeting, what are some things that
Dalman and Lei need to know about the other country and the business
group so that they can establish and maintain a good rapport and make
the best of this opportunity to expand Sandwich Blitz into the
international marketplace? Include information about greeting rituals
and nonverbal behavior as they apply to the protocol for Dalman and
Lei’s meeting with the group.
