We will continue to work on the due diligence analyses of the three countries. For each chosen country,

Canada - developed country,

You will write up your analysis of doing business based on your readings on the websites provided and other research.

Be sure to include information on each country (above) from the cultural dimension theories of Geert Hofstede, FonsTrompenaars and the Globe Project. Address the following prompts:

• How do customs, manners and social structure figure into the mix?

• What are the differences you would expect to find in management styles between the selected country and the US?
