Purpose
The purpose of the intercultural communication presentation is to provide experience with the following:
Planning, composing, and delivering a memorable and instructive business presentation
Adapting in-person presentations to online platforms such as Zoom
Creating clear visual design
Teaching business professionals proper conduct while interacting with another culture
Collaborating on virtual platforms
Scenario
You work for a large financial investment firm whose clients are medium to large size corporations worldwide. A company from [insert country here] is interested in partnering with your firm and has invited your CEO and several executives to visit their offices for several days of meetings and deliberation. The executives have asked you to research how to create a positive and persuasive impression on their potential clients. They expect you to present your findings in a Zoom meeting.
They have asked to address the following areas:
How to schedule and conduct a meeting in a way that builds goodwill by demonstrating what the culture calls “good behavior”
How to negotiate and approach disagreements
How to behave and converse in a recreational setting (such as a dinner after a meeting)
Your recommendations should be based on your knowledge of these topics: high vs low context, individualism vs collectivism, power distance, uncertainty avoidance, time orientation, assertiveness, and verbal and nonverbal communication. You are free to give a brief explanation of these subjects in order to explain or give evidence to your recommendations.
Note that the potential clients speak English, so you won’t need translators.
Your presentation will concern the best business practices of one of these countries: Brazil, Mexico, Singapore, China, Italy, Sweden, Germany, the United Arab Emirates, Israel, and Kenya.
Your Task
After conducting research, you will design and deliver a four to five-minute presentation to the company executives. You will discuss the information they have requested.
Sign up for a slot to present (like you did for the new product service meeting).
Choose a country from this list to present on: Sweden, Singapore, Israel, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kenya, Mexico, Brazil, Germany, China, Italy
