Based on the case study, I think Frank should do some research and study about the  business culture in France. In France,  professional protocol is a serious business for them.

Those people prefer to keep their professional life and family life very much separate. This helps to maintain a consistent structure of formality in the workplace.

Ted and his assistants did not learn about the customs and traditions of Hong Kong citizens beforehand. It is possible that the difference in culture is what made this unpredictable. As it maybe normal for them to seat with the public to give out things, it may seem unacceptable in other cultures. It is also part of the culture whn to receive gifts from people.

From the case study, we can clearly see how the Saudi landlord ignored the presence of Lorna when he entered the house to do some repairs knowing that her husband is not home. He even insulted Lorna and continue doing his work where Lorna found it rude.

We know in Saudi Arabia, women are very restricted according to their families, their culture, religious beliefs and according to the system, their basic rights are denied. They can’t take a courageous stance towards the liberation of women and they can’t transcend that reality.

This situation clearly shows that Saudi Arabia represent the gender egalitarianism in GLOBE’s cultural dimension which the society there minimizes gender role differences and gender discrimination.

In the study case, it can be seen that Fred is doing multiple wrongdoings towards German business etiquette. First problems that are notified is, Fred shake hands with the German after entering the conference room instead of shaking hands with them before entering the conference room. Second notable mistakes that are made are, the friendly way of greeting and communicating with the Germans. Germans prefer direct and serious tone of communications because that shows a sign of respect to the higher rank. Next, the decision for Fred to make a joke to keep a relaxed tone in presenting is wrong. It is because the Germans prefer seriousness in serious situation. There’s always humour but only at the right time.

Based on this situation, Bill Nugent should study the working hours in Saudi Arabic because the working hours for the Arabic is from 8 a.m. to 12 noon and 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. It also the time for them to pray. Bill also has to understand that meetings may appear disorganized because they follow Arabic customs which is business and personal lives is related. It is usual that it will be small talk in business. Also, it will be usual that when you do business with Arabic, you may be interrupted by Arabs’ acquaintances.

Based on the case study, Randy Hightower was given an overseas assignment for the first time to manage his firm office in Singapore. Randy wanted to show his optimism by slapping his fist against his palm during the meeting. Most of the people laughed, giggled or looked embarrassed. This shows the barrier to communication in the non-verbal communication. Non-verbal communication is the transfer of meaning through means such as body language and the use of physical space. In this case, Randy didn't know that his hand gestures would give different meaning to his staff in Singapore.  The hand gestures might has a good meaning in his country but in Singapore it is an obscene gestures and the staff might found it funny seeing  Randy doing that happily.

The case study shows that the joint venture did not take place because the way they approach their counterparts is wrong. This is because the Japanese practice their culture to be polite, but the way that the Americans approach the Japanese is to harsh that cause misunderstanding to them. These are the reasons why the Japanese reject the joint venture with the Americans. To avoid this kind of case to happen, the American should study about the culture practiced in Japan before they make the joint venture so that they will consider the joint venture based on their attitude and politeness.😊

Based on our understanding from this case study,Stan Gorelick working on a two-year building project in Montevideo,Uraguay. He was invited to cocktail party reception. He attended the party 30 minutes late and he tried to greeted several groups and he noticed that some people seem to be upset. We believe that Stan Gorelick did not do enough preparation on the culture in Uraguay. Because when we want to work at another country the most important is we need to know the barrier of communication. And Stan Gorelick was lacking at perceptual barrier which is he came late at the cocktail party. Maybe for Uraguay people are really take serious in time manners. And that is why people seem to be upset. The solution that we can suggest is Stan need tog go through an Culture Training before he been sent to another country. He need to study deeply about the culture he want to go.

Based on the case study, we can found that the problemis Steve Reichs is new in the office surrounding so he is not really understand the culture that had been practice by his new company office. Steve Reichs, use non verbal communication to make contact with his boss by using hand gesture, maybe Steve Reichs was originally practice it in his origin cultue that his hand gesture which is crooked his index finger means normal and to catch someone attention, to him that action shows an innocent gestures but as for his boss it means rude and something bad. Our opinion is Steve Reichs doesn't study much enough about the culture that had been applied in the office itself.

The thing that we understand from this case study is Frank has misunderstand doing with his workers because his workers intend not to communicate with him right after he give the gift. The reason is because Frank doesn't study deeply about his workers culture which is how to communicate with them or the barriers to communication. The next reason is perceptual barriers because his workers perception when someone give them a gift or a stuff and they will assume that you are not a boss but you are just like their friends.

I think MR Ted  doesn't understand the Chinese culture. As we know Chinese culture involve in luck and fate so in Chinese culture green or wearing green might be seen as bad luck or maybe offensive to them. There possibility that Chinese people don't play baseball so they are not receptive to the free gift. He should ask the local business counterparts or learn  from culture class on what gift or thing he can do to get the local community to be more receptive of his company

What we understand from the case study Steve Reichs is the worker that have been sent by his company for a month long assignment. Steve Reichs wanted to catch of his supervisor by cracked his index finger and actually he want to catch his supervisor attention but the supervisor infuriated because Steve Reichs dont know the barriers of the communication which is the perceptual barriers and hand gestures barriers. For the perceptual barriers for the Korean people the thing that " craked " with the index finger maybe rude towards them. For Steve Reichs the hand gestures of doing the index finger maybe are the common thing because he wants to relax his mucsle but for Korean thing might thing that cracked with the index finger are rude

Fred's presentation that prefaced humorous anecdotes is the reason why his presentation got rejected. Due to him not being serious even if his manners are well aware. Fred not only talk about his company, but also includes his private life stories such as about his Grandparents. Due to lack of social customs and cultural background check, the German company chooses not to distribute Fred's hardware products in the European region because to them, Fred is not professional enough to divide his private life and business life which according to Trompenaar's Theory, Fred is Emotional because his emotions are expressed openly and naturally.

Q: Construction superintendent Justin Clark had just been transferred to Saudi Arabia for two years to supervise the building of new state-of-the-art oil rigs for the Saudi government. Upon moving into their rented house, Justin and wife Lorna discovered several things that needed repair. The landlord, very happy to have rented the house on a two-years lease, was very prompt in responding to their request for repairs. However, when he arrived, Justin was not home, and the landlord entered the house without speaking or acknowledging Lorna's presence. The repairs proceeded under the landlord's supervision. Lorna was insulted and felt that the landlord's behavior was rude and disrespectful. Since she was the one home at the time, she thought the landlord should have discussed the repairs with her.
Why did the landlord ignore Lorna?

A: The reason why did the landlord ignore Lorna is because she is a woman. In Saudi Arabia, during the late 20th and early 21st century, woman rights in Saudi Arabia were limited in comparison to the right of women in many of its neighbour countries due to the strict sharia law in Saudi Arabia.

Based on GLOBE's Cultural Dimension, we can tell that this country practice the Gender Egalitarianism which an organization or a society minimize gender role differences and gender discrimination.

In this situation, Bill need to go to culture training before he set the appoinment with other person from another country. It is because the person he want to meet is a high-ranking government official from Saudi Arabia. Bill have to know the culture implement in Saudi Arabia because the culture in both country totally different. The culture training will help Bill to know and learn more about Saudi Arabia's culture and make his level of uncertainty avoidance low.
