Present cultural differences to the class. Choose one or two students from your class to discuss their experience traveling internationally. The students may use the following questions to guide their ten-minute presentation:

• What country did you visit, and what was the reason for your trip?

• What surprised you most about the people? What were the most obvious differences you noticed from your own culture?

• How do you interpret the cultural values of the region? Review the following dimensions discussed in this chapter: individualism, time orientation, power distance, uncertainty avoidance, formality, materialism, and context sensitivity.

• What observations did you make about the people's feelings about space and group-oriented behavior?

• What advice would you give to someone planning to do business in the region?
