Description:

Scenario:  You are the intern coordinator for an IT consulting company that specializes in working with entrepreneurial global clients. Although the three partners have been impressed with the internship program you set up this year, the international incident in Country X cost the firm substantial money and generated negative publicity. Upon your return from Country X, the partners informed you that your program will be eliminated, and they don’t have another position to offer because you are not an IT consultant.

Your only hope to save your job is to convince the partners that you can train the interns before they travel to foreign countries. The partners accepted your proposal.

Robert Morris reminded you again in another private meeting that the report must be written in the APA format, The partners describe what they want to see in this sample report.

Audience for the Report:

Although the transmittal memo is written to the partners, the audience for the report will be the employees and interns because you will eventually use this report as the material for a training session.

The sections of the report should describe the cultural customs in one nation and show how they are the same or different from our own customs. You have persuaded the partners that this information can be used to train the employees and interns to act appropriately in public and in business meetings.

The partners require that you cover at least three of the following sections in this sample Global Business Report:

· Climate

· Nonverbal communication/Language/attire

· Politics

· Religion (can branch into attire, etc.)

· Food/social etiquette/dining

· Security, crime, and/or attitudes and norms concerning women

· Attitudes toward foreigners, particularly U.S. citizens.

· However, other information/topics may be included if you clear them with me.

· The report should describe

· the cultural customs in one nation you select and show how they are the same or different from our own customs,

· what happens when our employees/interns do not understand the customs and commit faux pas and the impact that can have on business interactions,

· what adaptations company employees must make when they interact with the individuals they do business with in the foreign country in order to carry out business successfully.

Illustrations:

In addition to the one-two pages of words in the memo, include appropriate illustrations. These illustrations may be inserted in the appropriate paragraphs and/or at the end of the memo.
