3. Based on the challenges and opportunities you have identified through your research, formulate two recommendations, with your supporting arguments, to an American investor to successfully navigate the country’s cultural environment.
– Describe the cultural environment of the country using Hall’s framework (correctly identify if the country is high or low context; and explain which characteristics make the country high or low context)
– Describe the cultural environment of the country using Trompenaars’ framework (correctly identify the value* the country takes on for each one of the 7 dimensions; and explaine the choice of value on each one of the 7 dimensions)
– Identify the challenges for American investors posed by the cultural environment
– Identify opportunities for American investors posed by the cultural environment
– Formulate 2 recommendations to an American investor to successfully navigate the country’s cultural environment (the recommendations have to be actionable items and they must take into account identified differences between American culture and the culture of the country, using either Hall’s or Trompenaars’ framework for the comparison between the two cultures; support each recommendation with arguments).
