Select the correct address below: STANLEY JOHNSON 63 RENMIN LU, QINGDAO SHI 266033 SHANDONG CHINA Steel Authority of India Ltd. Elspeth Kasich Lodhi Road NEW DELHI 110003 INDIA Stan wants to negotiate a joint venture with a Chinese company. He asks Tung-Sen Lee if the Chinese people have enough discretionary income to afford his product. Mr. Lee is silent for a time, and then says. "Your product is good. People in the West must like it." Stan smiles, pleased that Mr. Lee recognizes the quality of his product, and he gives Mr. Lee a contract to sign. Weeks later, Stan still hasn't heard anything. If China is going to be so inefficient, he wonders if he really should try to do business there. Elspeth is very proud of her participatory management style. On assignment in India, she is careful not to give orders and instead asks for suggestions. People rarelly suggest anythin. Even a formal suggestion system doesn't work. And to make matters worse, she doesn't sense the respect and camaraderie of the plant she managed in the United States. Perhaps, she decides glooomily, people in India just aren't ready for a woman boss. You will be giving Stan or Elspeth insight into what went wrong and how they can be more successful the next time. Assume you are friends with Stan or Elspeth and they have asked you for advice. Make sure the body of your letter has at least three paragraphs: an introduction to the purpose of your letter, then one or two paragraphs that provides the advice requested, and then a closing paragraph that helps to create goodwill and/or adds value.
