International Business Letter about ¾ of a page to one full page business letter(formatting as researched culture may dictate) + several paragraphs of rationale One of the great things about entering a field under the sphere of business is that you’ll get to encounter people from all over the world. Because of this plethora of diversity, it’s important to understand the nuances and intricacies that comprise different cultures and to be aware about how your own cultural makeup will interact with those of others, especially with regards to business etiquette. Please ponder a country that you find intriguing and/or a country where you can foresee yourself conducting business. Please do some research on the culture and etiquette of this country, especially with regards to the customs related to the ways this country conducts business. Some possible questions to ponder and to help guide your research: How are gender relations handled? Will a more direct or indirect approach be appropriate when making a business proposal? Is the country high-context or low-context? How are public-figures perceived by the general public—are they beloved? Are they despised? Consider the Hofstede parameters--how will these influence the writing process? Will Power-Distance come into play? How personal should you get when doing business? This assignment has two parts: I. Once you’ve researched business etiquette in this country, write a business-letter to either a potential business partner in that country or the embassy proposing some sort of business idea. In the letter you must convey proper respect for the elements of business etiquette within that country by manifesting what you’ve learned. In other words, incorporate the ideas you learned into the letter and write the letter as would be expected in that country. You want to sound as natural as possible when expressing that you’ve done some research on customs. For example: if a country is high context, how will that impact the way you write a business letter? II. After you write this letter, please briefly explain why you wrote the way that you did. Essentially, explain to me what you discovered (or perhaps already knew) about the business customs of the country you want to work with. Please Note: This is a communication course and so please be sure to discuss how the cultural facets will influence the written and verbal components of business interactions. In your research you may find discussions on these matters but even if your research does not yield this information, use your inferential judgments in making educated guesses. Most importantly, explain how the research influenced the writing process and how sociological parameters from sources like Hofstede influence writing. For example: if a culture is high power distance, how does that impact writing? If a culture is low context how does that impact writing? Side-notes: I encourage you to use this assignment to explore the customs of a new country that you may be interested in but aren’t necessarily familiar with. That is, if you were born in Sweden and identify as Swedish, I’d urge you to avoid writing about Sweden and opt for a country you don’t know much about. Use two sources. One of which can be the Hofstede site. While I encourage you to search far and wide for info on other countries, www.geert-hofstede.com is a fantastic resource. Please cite your sources with MLA citation. If this is not fresh in your head, use sites like Citation Generator or Easy Bib.
