Overview

In this module, you have learned about the importance of priori�zing people, whether it be employees, the local community, or customers. In this assignment, you will explore important considera�ons for culturally

competent business prac�ces, which can help strengthen and maintain rela�onships.

Scenario

will allow your colleague first‐hand experience and help them develop rela�onships with the business professionals they will be working with in the future.

You need to make sure that they are familiar with cultural business prac�ces for the places you will be visi�ng so that exis�ng business rela�onships remain strong and new rela�onships start off well. You have decided to

create a brief guide that includes the cultural considera�ons they will need to be aware of while doing business.
