Write a one page paper, approximately 500 words on the challenges of taking a team abroad as an Expatriate Manaager or as a business owner to another area of the world in order to expand one's business. Please quote 1 source or official website. Utilize personal experience if appropriate within this paper.

Certainly Japan and areas within ASEAN have interesting and diverse business practices, for example, so culture training would be imperative prior to a team entering that country to do business. So, let's go far, far away and discuss doing business in another country or other areas of world. You choose the country and you may work with a partner, if desired. Post your names at the top of your posts so we can all enjoy!
If anyone has any problems posting, please e-mail me at rmarcus@ecpi.edu and I can give you a temporary password, if necessary.
