Question:

A US MNE has offered a position to a young American who has just graduated from MTSU. The position is to work at the MNE's subsidiary in Japan (i.e., he/she is to become an expatriate in your country). Unfortunately, the young graduate, not wanting to leave the United States, has declined the offer. The MNE's CEO asks you to convince the young American to accept the position. What would you tell him/her?

To help you write a good answer, please do the following:

Paragraph 1: In 3 to 5 five sentences, tell the young American that you understand his/her reluctance to relocate to a foreign country (please give the reasons for your understanding)

Paragraph 2: In 3 to five sentences, give two to three reasons why he/she should accept the offer.

NOTE: In Paragraph 2, please do not give a generic answer (i.e. an answer that applies to all countries). Highlight the distinctive characteristics of YOUR SPECIFIC COUNTRY.(Japan)
