Part 2: Cultural Exchange and Marketing Strategy

Now that you have had your Project company/idea approved by your professor, it is time to write the second part of the project, which builds on Project Part 1. Using the same company you chose for Project Part I (the company that is proposing an expansion opportunity overseas), conduct research on the proposed “overseas” country.

Specifically focus on the culture and cultural exchange of the country.

For the culture, review the web site http://geert-hofstede.com/ or similar resources to compare the cultural differences between the US and the company in your project. Identify the cultural differences and consider the cultural exchange.

In addition, research and choose the best distributions method: Product/Market, Pricing, and Positioning.

In your paper Identify the following:

• Cultural differences
• Cultural exchange
• Distribution Methods
• Product/Market

In your paper include a title sheet and 2-3 references. ;
