Management

Unit IV Assignment
Executive Recommendation

You are an International Manager. An executive for your organization asked you to create a report describing the advantages and challenges associated with doing business in China, Russia, India, France, Brazil, or Arab countries. The executive needs your help to make a big decision—capitalizing on an opportunity in one of those countries. You know the executive very well and that he/she only wants your top recommendation. Create a two-page report that describes the advantages and challenges (the impact) of adding a culture to your multinational organization by using the following criteria:

1. Select an industry. (i.e., Technology, Aerospace, Consumer Products, Energy, Communications, Banking, etc.)
2. Select your top cultural recommendation. (i.e., country)
3. Describe why the cultural recommendation is a good match for your organization.
4. Describe why the cultural recommendation is a good match for the industry.
5. Describe the challenges of the recommended culture.

Consider using the data available in Table 5-1 on page 143 of Luthans and Doh (2012). Also, refer to the information on pages 152-163 of Luthans and Doh (2012) to support your recommendation.
