Intl Business Communications paper

ASSIGNMENT OVERVIEW:
International Business Communications Paper  
Written Report Preference Thailand (will consider anther country if applicable)
Select a country with which the United States does business, and research what it takes for a U.S. company to do business there. Based on your research, write a report of approximately 1100 words that examines the following:
•    Business norms: How should a U.S. company approach a business in this country? What kind of negotiation process takes place, and how long does it take? What kind of contract specifications do businesses in this country prefer? How would you expect a negotiated contract to be executed?
•    Cultural expectations: How should individuals from the two countries interact with each other? Is the culture low-context or high-context (see Business Communication)? Are there any particular customs or rituals you should be prepared to observe? What are the table manners in the country? (Note: Business is often conducted over meals.) How are businesswomen regarded in the country, and does the country expect U.S. businesswomen to adapt in any way? If so, how? If you are a woman, would you be willing to make the adaptations? Why or why not?
•    Ethical considerations: Are there differences in business ethics between the United States and the country? If so, what impact are such differences likely to have on your dealings with businesses in the country?
As suggested in this week’s lecture, your posture should be one of respect.  For the most part, you should be prepared to adhere to the business and cultural norms of the other nation.  However, there may be instances where firmly-held social, religious and ethical beliefs (yours or theirs) may give you pause.  For example, businesses in some nations may use child labor or prohibit women from participating in business negotiations. Some governments may indulge in repressive religious or political practices.

These are legitimate concerns, and you should address them. If you select a country you come to find problematic, then simply address the problems as you see them. If you find you simply cannot in good conscience recommend conducting business in that country, then for the most part that is your prerogative. Use good judgment. For example, do not necessarily decline to do business in a particular country if businesses there prefer more formal attire than is required in your own workplace. On the other hand, if there is “reasonable cause” to avoid doing business in a particular country, then you are free to write about the country from that perspective. However, you will still need to prepare a thorough report that accurately articulates business conditions in the nation on which you are conducting research. 
Include at least three sources in your report, two of which must be from substantial scholarly or professional sources dealing with international business and/or your selected country.  These include books, journal articles, government websites and publications, technical manuals, and the like.  The scholarly/professional sources must be at least 2000 words in length and must be prepared by someone with specialized knowledge of the subject. Your other sources may include intelligent popular articles, interviews, documentaries, and so forth. Avoid junk sites and articles too short or general in nature. Accessing appropriate outside sources will be discussed in class. Be sure to correctly document all sources cited in your paper and prepare a references list according to APA style.  
XXXXXX College’s online databases (e.g., NC Live) provide a wealth of resources for your research, and your instructor will provide guidance on accessing these resources. You may also wish to visit an academic library or a good public library.
Your report must be typed or word processed in essay format, be double-spaced, have one-inch margins, and be printed on white or cream paper. The report should be professional in both content and appearance. Prepare a standard APA style cover page, and fasten the pages together adequately if you do not put them in a folder. Illustrations and graphs are nice touches but optional for this assignment.
Note that the report uses single-spacing within paragraphs and double-spacing between paragraphs. Also plan to divide the body of your report into subcategories, as shown in the example, and use subheadings as appropriate.

I will make decision as soon as I see the introduction page and why I should pick you for this paper!!! Much gratitude. Happy Holidays!!
