Assignment: Milestone: Communications, Negotiations and Strategy Formation

This assignment will assess competencies 1. Develop effective cross-cultural communications and negotiation skills to be used in a multinational setting and 2. Develop strategy formulation and implementation for management in multicultural organizations.

Directions

We will continue to work on the due diligence analyses of the three countries chosen in LP1. For each of your chosen countries, you will write up an analysis of the impact of communications and negotiations with the U.S. while doing business. Your analysis will be based on chapters 7 and 8 of your text, and information from websites and other research. You should also address the strategy you would chose to enter each country and explain your rationale. Also discuss any areas of concern you may encounter with your business dealings with each of your countries. You will follow APA (6the edition) formatting (no abstract is required for this milestone) with title and reference pages, indented paragraphs and a minimum of four APA formatted references and associated in-text citations. This information, and that of the following LPs, will become part of your final project artifact.
