1. Please watch the video on Cross-Cultural Communication. How do you think that the average

2. Please read the following article: http://tinyurl.com/mt-expat. Did anything in the article surprise
you? What are some specific steps that you can take to better prepare an employee for an expatriate
assignment?

Compare the culture of the United States to any country of your choice that is NOT in North America.
What are the differences in cultural scores between the two countries (please list)? How might
Americans need to adjust their behaviors to achieve a better cultural fit when moving to the new
country for an expatriate position? Be specific.
