Q Background As a well-seasoned human resource officer, you have a firm grasp of how interaction and business communications can be impacted by culture. By understanding these cultural differences, your CEO has tasked you to review all business entertaining activities when hosting members from other countries. Your organization, which is located in the United States, has recently begun merger talks with an organization located in Saudi Arabia. The first meeting in Saudi Arabia was a great success, and your firm has set up a second meeting at your headquarters in Miami where their top three executives will meet your team. You have met with the planning committee to review their itinerary which includes the menu for the business dinner at a top restaurant that overlooks the ocean. The director of the planning committee has managed many corporate events in the past, but this will be his first involving a country from the middle east. In reviewing the menu, you notice a list of wine, scotch, and liquor options. The entree options offer swordfish, Kobe steak, portabella chicken, and pork tenderloin. As a gift, the planning director has proposed a Rolex Oyster Perpetual 18k/ss Gold Two Tone 1003 Watch for all of the executives. The director has also planned private entertainment where he has proposed a Latin dance mix comprised of couples doing the cha-cha, jive, paso doble, and samba. Assignment Prepare a PowerPoint presentation for your meeting with the director by outlining what you liked about the proposed evening, any necessary changes, a justification for any potential changes, and additions or substitutions that might be necessary.
