Which cultural factors have the greatest effect upon the operations of an international logistics firm?

For this Case, you’re asked to cast the net wider.  Based upon your detailed understanding of both logistics and culture, and with the support of judiciously chosen sources, write an essay answering the following question:  Which cultural factors have the greatest effect upon the operations of an international logistics firm? 

Why those?  Why would the others factors have lesser effects?  Explain in detail.

• Write a well-constructed essay.  Feel free to use tables and bulleted lists, if appropriate.
• The readings may not provide specific answers.  In that event, will need to “fill in the gaps,” using your understanding of the material presented in the Module, and the background sources.
• Style and format must comply with the Writing Style Guide.  (TUI Guide, n.d.) This is not an English course;  however, errors in spelling, grammar and style will be penalized.
• Provide citations and references.  Use of APA style is encouraged, but not required.  Please see the TUI Writing Guide, or visit the Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL, 2015).
• There is no page requirement. Write what you need to write, neither more nor less.
