International project managers understand that what works at home may not work in foreign countries. Managers cannot impose practices from their home country or host-country nationals without questioning how they are applied to new environments. Although there may be some similarities, it is a fact that good management practices vary across nations and cultures.

To ensure best practices, project managers needs to be aware of differences in the host country's environment from their own domestic country to avoid dangers and obstacles of global projects.

You are required to research a country (that is not Canada) from internet sources. Choose a country that may interest you and complete the research related to starting a project in this country.
