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. (e.g., 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.
The purpose of this assignment is to analyze all of the cultural factors while making a big decision as an international
manager.
Format the report in your own words using APA style, and include citations and references as needed to avoid
instances of plagiarism.
