Problem
You will be asked to imagine that you have been put in charge of a large team that is negotiating a company merger with two other hypothetical, multinational companies that have offices located around the globe. Your task is to design a negotiation strategy to deal with the negotiation issues involved with merging these multinational companies.
You will begin by tackling the first part of the larger Assignment. Begin by picking two countries that will represent the corporate cultures of a multinational company. One of the countries must not be from Europe. Research and document these companies and their culture.
For this activity, you will write a 1 to 2 pages paper in which you:
Introduce and describe two chosen companies:
a) Identify their country of origin.
b) Detail each country's cultural aspects that will impact the negotiation. This should include aspects such as morals, values, customs, and communication style.
c) Provide a reference.
