Intercultural Communication

Select one of the following countries: India, Bolivia, Tunisia, Vietnam, Malaysia, South Korea, Finland, Jamaica, United Arab Emirates, or Sri Lanka.

Scenario: Your organization is opening a new international branch of operations. Six staff members have been chosen to represent the company as an initial task force, located in the capital city. An interpreter will be hired to assist with translations; however, the team needs to familiarize itself with the cultural aspects of communications in the capital city.

Prepare a professional two-or-three paragraph summary about the indigenous culture of your chosen country; the summary should include five cultural communication (either verbal or nonverbal) elements/practices that the delegation needs to know.
