Individual Assignment: Culture Across the Globe

The third Individual Assignment is to write up an essay for Objective 1, 2, and 3 in Chapter 16 (p 476).

Chapter 16 will not be covered this semester.
However, topics and concepts in this chapter is important both for learners and practitioners.
Hence, I would like students to study this chapter and do the second Individual Assignment.

For this assignment, you should read the directions below and write up an essay.
Your essay should be 2 pages at least to 4 pages to the maximum based on *Guidelines for Individual Assignments and Case Analysis.

*Directions
Read and study Chapter 16 (pp 476 - 509).
Answer the following questions in relation to Learning Objectives on Page 476.
- Questions are
1) Explain how international and cross-cultural negotiations are different from domestic or same-culture negotiations.
2) Describe different definitions and meanings of a culture
3) Elaborate how culture affects negotiation dynamics.

On your essay, you should write up all answers to all questions based on contents in Chapter 16.
Putting a simple answer (ex., Culture is "XXX." That is it.) to these questions will not give you full credit or score.
On your essay, you have to put main issues and key points on the basis of information you earn from Chapter 16 as well as what you have learned from this course.
