Identify a company or industry in which you work or have an interest. Senior management wants the company to expand its international operations, and you have been asked to develop an analysis of a country that you believe would be well suited for expansion. (It must be different from your owncountry if you were born or raised in a country other than the U.S.)
Description
Develop a report based on the topic: "A Culture Briefing of _________________." Your paper should include (but not limited to) the following:
1. Cultural dimension and typology of the country and how they can factor into the appropriate leadership approach. How do they compare to U.S. cultural dimensions?
2. Tips for leadership in this country. Identify and provide an in depth analysis of a leadership style that would be conducive to the country's typology and culture.
3. ?Conclusion: What is most important to remember about leading and/or managing an office or facility in this country?
Your analysis can also include characteristics of the following; however, the focus should be placed on the aspects listed above:
• Location • History • Size • Political System • Economic System • Language • Traditions • Values and ethics • Life Styles • Characteristics of the Culture • Business Practices
Use the course readings, as well as other scholarly sources that you have reviewed, that focus on cultural diversity, cultural typologies, culture and leadership, dimensions of culture, global leadership, and leadership theory. Your paper should analyze and synthesize the research and not merely provide definitions or descriptions of the research.
This is your opportunity to practically apply what you have learned throughout the semester in a thoughtful and in depth manner. Approach this paper as you would a report to any senior management team. That means it should address these points in a clear, concise, and direct manner. Remember that it must also be specific enough to demonstrate how much you have learned about these topics.
