Step 7: Address Country Cultural Differences

The next challenge to tackle is cultural differences. As a result of this merger, many members of your virtual teams will be French, Japanese, and American, and you will need to make suggestions about how to navigate cultural differences and preferences among team members of these nationalities. This resource on  country cultural differences provides guidance about how to proceed with this important component of your team project.

After reading the resources on country cultural differences, complete the following tasks:

· Identify potential sources of concern about having company operations in different locations around the world.

· Make and defend recommendations about the optimal approach to prepare for cultural differences and preferences among team members.
