There has been a need for diversification in the company. There
is needed to prove the importance of training the employees and
the interns before they travel to the United Arab Emirates. This
is very important, as it will enable transition of the workers into
the new cultures to be easy. The main objective for the training
is to ensure that the new working environment does not provide
culture shock to the employees that will be traveling to the
5. United Arab Emirates. By training, these workers on their new
environment may help the company to enjoy a smooth transition
into the areas as the areas experience cultural sensitivity, which
if not properly handled will lead to poor business performance.
Analysis of the audience and their expectations
The primary audience of this research will comprise the top-
level executives in charge of diversification and policy
formation. These include John Smith who is the chief executive
officer; Joseph Stevens who is the chief operating officer
together with Robert Morris who is the chief information
officer. This group is in need of this report in order to
determine if it is profitable for the company to invest in the
United Arab Emirates.
The secondary audience is comprised of the implementers of the
decisions made by the management body. This will include the
middle level managers responsible for the implementation of the
set out goals. Among this the five hundred employees of the
company are also part of the secondary audience. The hundred
employees communicating with the internet internationally form
part of the secondary audience. This group will be view the
information in the report to be in formed in the details of the
expansion.
Generally, the information in this audience will be used to
ensure the expansion adjustments into United Arab Emirates
will be in an efficient and a productive manner as well. It will
facilitate the addressing of issues pertaining to business issues,
the intended goals of the business, the culture in the United
Arab Emirates, the communication in their languages, also the
required travelling information. All this information will be
provided to the audience by the report.
Summary of key points
1. Security, crime, and/or attitudes and norms concerning
women
The security handling in the UAE is different compared to the
one in the USA. In 1993 Sheikh Saif introduced community
policing. This led to the formation of the institute of community
6. policing which is set to oversee the training of the community
inn policing and problem solving. As per the provided records,
crime in the UAE is said to be low. However, it is difficult to
ascertainthese claims. Due to the nature of the security system,
it is difficult to have cases reported. However, being a young
nation crime is low compared to the United. Women in the
United Arab Emirates are not treated equally as men. In cases of
security, they are not allowed to file cases as they may be seen
to embarrass their husbands. Proper caution should be taken
when sending the female employees in this nation States (In
Caneppele, In Calderoni, & Savona, 2014, p. 26).
2. Politics
The UAE since its establishment in the year 1971 has enjoyed
adequate political stability. This is due to their political
establishment that combines both the traditional and modern
systems of governance. The country enjoys a modern political
structure while at the same time appreciating their own
traditional structures of governance as the best practices are
retained and maintained. The politics in the nation have adopted
both the federal, presidential and monarch systems of
governance that act simultaneously (Abed, I., &Hellyer, 2001,
p.156).
3. Attitudes toward foreigners, particularly U.S. citizens
The citizens in the UAE are aware of the nature and behaviors
of the foreigners in their country. Regardless of the varied
cultures, they belief they have the ability to minimize or limit
the influence that the foreign cultures bring into play at their
country. It is however important to note that there has been
concern on the behaviors of the foreign citizens as behaviors
such as consumption of alcohol and its sale in traduces a
controversial aspect in the Arabic culture as the sale of alcohol
is controlled and limited. However, the knowledge that the
foreign citizens control their economy forces them to welcome
the foreigners in their country (Lipton, 2002, p. 113).

Description:
Scenario:You are the intern coordinator for an IT consulting
company that specializes in working with entrepreneurial global
9. clients. Although the three partners have been impressed with
the internship program you set up this year, the international
incident in Country X cost the firm substantial money and
generated negative publicity. Upon your return from Country X,
the partners informed you that your program will be eliminated,
and they don’t have another position to offer because you are
not an IT consultant.
Your only hope to save your job is to convince the partners that
you can train the interns before they travel to foreign countries.
Robert Morris reminded you again in another private meeting
that the report must be written in the APA format, The partners
describe what they want to see in this sample report.
Audience for the Report:
Although the transmittal memo is written to the partners, the
audience for the report will be the employees and interns
because you will eventually use this report as the material for a
training session.
Your task is to convince the partners that you can train the
employees and interns before they travel to a particular foreign
country. The audience expects a factual report that sheds light
on the economic, political, and social environment in that
country to help them make an informed decision about doing
business or sending employees or interns there. John Smith is
enthusiastic about your proposal to write an informative report
about customs in the country and subsequently set up a cultural
training program for interns and employees, but Joseph Stevens
is not. Of course, John is retiring, so his vote counts less.
However, Robert Morris recommends that you write a proposal
to describe the audiences for the report and the content that
would subsequently be taught. He is asking for a research paper
on one nation with respect to how its culture differs from ours
to help the executives decide whether to do business in the
country.
Top level executives who are responsible for devising strategies
and formulating policies to ensure that all goals and objectives
are met include John Smith, Chief Executive Officer; Joseph
10. Stevens, Chief Operating Officer; and Robert Morris, Chief
Information Officer. This group consists of motivated readers
who are in need of the report to make important business
decisions. The company contains 500 employees, 20 of which
would be slated to go overseas. Ten employees would conduct
business development (sales) and 10 would conduct project
implementation which would require working closely with top
and mid-level managers in the corporate headquarters and inside
a factory in that country. In addition, once project
implementation is underway, at least 100 of the employees
would be interacting with the employees in the other country
via email, skype, and the internet.
The sections of the report should describe the cultural customs
in one nation and show how they are the same or different from
our own customs. You have to persuade the partners that this
information can be used to train the employees and interns to
act appropriately in public and in business meetings.
The partners require that you cover at leastthree of the
following sections in this sample Global Business Report:
· Climate
· Nonverbal communication/Language/attire
· Politics
· Religion (can branch into attire, etc.)
· Food/social etiquette/dining
· Security, crime, and/or attitudes and norms concerning women
· Attitudes toward foreigners, particularly U.S. citizens.
· However, other information/topics may be included if you
clear them with me.
· The report should describe
· the cultural customs in one nation you select and show how
they are the same or different from our own customs, and which
audiences for the report will be most impacted by the variance
in customs from our own
· what happens when our employees/interns do not understand
the customs and commit faux pas and the impact that can have
on business interactions (for example, one of the employees
11. responsible for sales does not follow a custom of the country
and commits a major or minor faux pas),
· what adaptations company employees must make when they
interact with the individuals they do business with in the
foreign country in order to carry out business successfully
(weave in examples from your company employees working
closely inside a factory in that country with employees from the
country).
Illustrations:
In addition to the one-two pages of words in the memo, include
appropriate illustrations. These illustrations may be inserted in
the appropriate paragraphs and/or at the end of the memo.
