1. Choose one(1) country from South America, East Africa, South East Asia, Eastern Europe, or Western Europe and prepare the new expatriates about what they can expect when dealing with leaders from that country. Conduct research on this issue and address the following factors:
2. Make a profile of a typical leader from his/her assigned part of the world, in terms of his or her style of decision-making, delegation, treatment of subordinates, goal-setting strategies, risk propensity, and communication. (DO NOT pick the political leader of the country -- this is a typical leader.)
3. Include a discussion on diversity, where the idea of minority has new contextual meaning. (Be sure to consider the reversal of normative ideas about majority and minority. For example, what difficulties may arise from a situation where a U.S. manager is a member of a minority in the new global business environment?) Briefly offer suggestions for repatriation for the expatriates.
4. Discuss the impact of international regulations or legal/ethical issues.
5. Discuss how to address nonverbal and cultural barriers to communication.
6. Provided evidence to support claims in a clear and fair representation.
7. The quality of the sources of information you use, as well as your referencing skills, will be assessed. You are expected to use at least five (5) different academic sources to support your arguments and discussion.
