Assume you will be meeting with Ahmed's all male team. Research the both personal and business customs and mores of this country. It is very important that you understand the dimension of cultural diversity so as to not offend your new clients when meeting with them in their country. Please note that you will be taking a team with you. The team of five consists of both males and females, ages 26 to 57.
Write a minimum of a two page memo to your team addressing appropriate business conduct and etiquette when visiting Jordan and your potential clients. [I know memos are usually short, but this will be a lengthy document in order to thoroughly inform the team as to the expectations.]
Use the ideas that you brainstormed when creating your MindMap in Module 2 Chapter 4 Assignment 1. Also I have posted a few suggestions of what I would expect to be included in this memo. The memo should be multiple pages with page numbers at the bottom of each page. If you submit a 1/2 - 1 page memo...do not expect a passing grade! Be sure to utilize the memo format we have been using in this class. DO NOT USE A TEMPLATE!
