You are responsible for hiring a sales manager whose territory will include all of South America.

You have narrowed your search to two people. One is a citizen of Brazil who speaks Spanish and Portuguese but very little English. The second is a U.S. citizen who speaks English and a little Spanish. Your product line necessitates that the sales manager hire two additional people in South America, run a sales office with a receptionist/ secretary, live in South America, and personally call on customers in the different countries. Which of the two people would you choose? Give reasons for your choice.
