You are employed at a company called XYZ, a consultancy firm to help corporations improve their intercultural communication. One of your clients is based in Australia and is looking to expand into new markets. However, before doing so, the CEO of ABC would like to know more about the national and organisational cultures in these countries to ensure ABC is prepared and cultural miscommunication is minimized.

You have been commissioned with writing a report for the CEO of ABC to identify the main cultural similarities and differences between Australia and the countries assigned to your group. You will need to highlight these cultural differences and recommend areas in which cultural miscommunication may occur.

To identify the cultural differences, refer to Hofestede’s cultural dimensions, House’s GLOBE study, and Hall’s Context Model (the 3 H’s)
