Culture and Global Business Environment Background: Culture impacts on behaviour of all people. Yet living within a culture one does not necessarily know how others may do things or what others outside of that culture may value. Also, one may not necessarily appreciate one’s own culture until that person can look at it from the perspective of another. Required: Choose a behaviour, an outlook or and expectation that is culturally determined in your experience. (For instance the class examples of use of given name versus family name in Canada, or the universal aspect of getting a ticket while speedine) This should be one specific behaviour, outlook or expectation. Using one or more) of the three culture models discussed in class (Hofstede, Tropenaar, Globe), apply the model to explain what is underlying or happening in the situation of this behaviour, outlook or expectation Explain how this may be an issue in an international business situation, for instance, working with people of a different culture and how understanding of these models may facilitate a better relationship through a better understanding of the culture.
