Proper Dress for Businesspeople in Saudi Arabia (Obj. 5) E-Mail Intercultural Team Web The Air Force's highest ranking female fighter pilot, Lt. Col. Martha Mc Sally, was unhappy about being required to wear neck-to-toe robes in Saudi Arabia when she was off base. She filed a federal lawsuit seeking to overturn the policy that requires female servicewomen to wear such conservative clothing when they are off base. After seeing an article about this in the newspaper, your boss began to worry about sending female engineers to Saudi Arabia. Your company has been asked to submit a proposal to develop telecommunications within that country, and some of the company's best staff members are female.

If your company wins the contract, it will undoubtedly need women to be in Saudi Arabia to complete the project. Because your boss knows little about the country, he asks you, his assistant, to do some research to find out what is appropriate business dress.

Task:- Visit two or three Web sites and learn about dress expectations in Saudi Arabia. Is Western-style clothing acceptable for men? For women? Are there any clothing taboos? Should guest workers be expected to dress like natives? In teams discuss your findings. Individually or collectively, prepare a memo or e-mail addressed to LaDane Williams, your boss. Summarize your most significant findings.
