A partially complete assignment with references is attached. Please complete the assignment according to the instructions below.
Review the information in your textbook in Chapter 16 in the section, Hofstede’s Model of National Culture, which covers Geert Hofstede’s research on power distance (low vs. high), individualism (vs. collectivism), masculinity (vs. femininity) or assertiveness (vs. nurturing), uncertainty avoidance (high vs. low), and long-term orientation (vs. short-term orientation).
You (a citizen of the United States) have been given an assignment to travel to a foreign country and deliver a training program for citizens of that foreign country. You need to choose a specific country for this assignment other than Canada. The internet has country comparison tools (such as the one from Hofstede Insights) that provide information on the culture of each country. Find a tool and determine how you will design and deliver training for foreign employees of the country you select keeping in mind Geert Hofstede’s research about cultural differences, and your plans to assess its success.
Hofstede’s model has five dimensions so in your paper you will need to have a section to to compare the five dimensions and a comparison between the U.S. and your country. It would be helpful to research employment and training laws for whatever country you choose to feature for this assignment. For example, if you choose Japan as your country you could do a “Google” search with the keywords “Employment Laws Japan”.
