After completing the assigned readings for this week, think about a person from a different culture with whom you work or have worked or interacted professionally.  Do some research on the culture and how it differs from your own.  Create a brief PowerPoint presentation explaining

· how this culture differs from your own

· the key considerations when conducting business with or working with people from this culture (e.g., how to greet somebody, distance etc.)

· your suggestions/recommendations on how successful business interactions would be achieved with people from this different culture

· your recommendations on how somebody should learn about a different culture in preparation for working with people from different countries or of different ethnicities.

Remember to use good slide design.  You may use a format of your choice to present this material.  Do not exceed 10 slides.  Cite when necessary and include a references list.
