You are in the role of project manager for a coffee franchise global expansion project. You plan to expand into three different countries. The magnitude of the project requires you to prepare for the project kickoff meeting and business negotiations with the project team who are potential partners from Mexico, China, and Saudi Arabia. You understand that these cultures are vastly different. They have different business customs, social protocols, and languages, so conducting business with each country requires a customized approach.

To prepare for your first outreach effort with each country, analyze the cultural similarities and differences that exist between the countries and the United States using Geert Hofstede’s Six Cultural Dimensions as discussed in class. Note that the three countries are characterized by collectivism while the United States has an individualist culture.

Create a bar graph and/or table that summarizes the key cultural dimension comparison. Then, compare and contrast each country according to your findings. Discuss the implications of the relative cultural dimensions. How might they impact managing the global expansion project? Remember that you are adapting your approach from a United States centric view. (400-600 words).

This assignment lays the foundation for IP4, where you will apply your findings to forming an effective global team.

Step One:

Visit Geert Hofstede Cultural Dimensions

Step Two:

Create a country comparison using the United States in first dropdown menu box to see the values for the six cultural dimensions. After selecting the United States, a second and a third country can be chosen in the second dropdown menu box. Keep the United States in the first box and then repeat for each country (Mexico, China, and Saudi Arabia) involved in the fast food expansion project to see a comparison of their scores.

Step Three:

Create a bar graph and/or table to highlight how the four countries compare to the United States by using the value scores under the comparison to create the bar chart.  How to make a bar chart on Microsoft Word:

Click “Insert” tab

Click “Chart” in the Illustrations Group

Select “Bar”

Click “OK” to insert a chart and a spreadsheet will open alongside your Word document. The spreadsheet contains sample figures surrounded by a blue border. Column “A” contains data labels. The remaining columns contain data.

Click a corner of the border. Drag it down or up to add or remove items from the graph.

Step Four:

Using your findings:

Explain Hofstede’s cultural dimensions.

Using the United States as a basis for comparison, evaluate each country’s similarities and differences relative to the franchise business deployment.

Discuss the implications for your initial communications within each country.  For example, what is the impact of collectivism relative to individualism regarding management communication?   Use Intellipath, MUSE, Beyond the Book. Live Chats and the CTU Library to help identify cultural characteristics that will be important during your first project meeting with each country.

For assistance with your assignment, please use your Beyond the Book, Web resources, and all course materials.

 Critically thinking about the material presented in the courses you are taking can be challenging, especially when the students believes that they already have a robust understanding of the domain. For example, you may, at this point in your academic career, have already studied behaviorism, so you may believe you already have a deep understanding of what this theory is. However, consider the theory based on learning. The foundations of behaviorism suggest that we learn, not based on thought, but on physiological needs. This foundation was based on radical behaviorism, a sub-theory. Critically consider the evolution of behaviorism, and apply this to the following prompts. Use the following Journal 1 template downloadto explain each question.

To successfully complete this journal:

1. Take the pre-test in Chapter 1: The Foundations of Behaviorism in your required text. Discuss your results.
2. Discuss the ambiguity suggested by the multiple sub-theories and frameworks of behaviorism.
   • Hint: Do the numerous sub-theories indicate differing suggestions although one overarching definition of behaviorism is often presented?
3. Explain how association doctrine and later, connectionism, evolved the foundations of behaviorism.
4. Compare and contrast the stimulus-response (S-R) model and the law of effect and how the inclusion of a confirming reaction change the model.
5. Outline the historical evolution of behaviorism suggested by its sub-theories (e.g. molar, radial, and psychological behaviorism).
6. Summarize any takeaways that you have developed about behaviorism, including its sub-theories, based on the content this week.

Once you have finished writing, consider running the tool Turnitin (found in your Course Resources tab) to assure you have successfully used your own voice, rather than another author’s.

Your journal this week should be 700 to 900 words and have an introduction and a conclusion as described in the Writing Center’s resource Introductions & Conclusions (Links to an external site.). You should exhibit obvious attention to critical thought and understanding of the content, as demonstrated in TED-Ed Animation 5 Tips to Improve Your Critical Thinking (Links to an external site.).

In this assignment you are being asked to focus on biological determinants. While not nearly as common as social determinants, biological determents can also have a major impact on an individual’s quality of life. In the directions below you are being asked to pair a biological determinant with a biological theory from the Instructor Guidance to demonstrate several real-world public health actions.

• Use this biological science :  Family history of disease – An individual whose family member, especially a parent, suffers from a health condition is highly susceptible to that health condition 
• Choose one biological determinant of health.
• Compare and contrast the relationship between the social determinant of health you discussed in your Week 2 Place Matters Assignment (Environment we live in) and the relationship between the biological determinant of health and the biological science theory you chose above.
  • Use scholarly and government research to support your evaluation.
  • Refer to the Compare & Contrast Assignments (Links to an external site.) resource for additional help.

In your evaluation, consider and address the following:

• What are the social implications of using biological science theories in public health interventions? Use scholarly research to support your reasoning.
• What is the relationship between biological science theories and biological determinants of health? Use scholarly research to support your reasoning.
• How are biological science theories used at the national and international levels to address determinants of health (social, behavioral, etc.)? Use scholarly research to support your reasoning.
• Using a real world biological determinants public health intervention and a real world social determinants public health intervention, compare and contrast the outcomes and the overall impact.
• Why are biological determinants often overlooked in public interventions when compared with social determinants? How do the interventions vary and consider social and political factors that may be involved?
