Assignment: Locate two companies that have crossed borders to form an alliance. Discuss how the differing cultural attitudes of each company's host country could influence how the alliance operates. What problems might emerge for the alliance as a result of cultural differences? This writing assignment should be completed in the standard APA format. It should be 2 or 3 pages long this week's assignment requires you to choose two companies from different countries that formed an alliance. Do not choose two USA companies such as Disney and Pixar. Instead choose two companies with headquarters in two different countries such as France and USA, or China and USA, or Germany and India, etc. Also, when referring to culture, this is not about company culture, but country culture that impacts the relationship. Of course, country culture impacts company culture, but there is a nuance here you need to pay attention to. 

Also, you may choose mergers and acquisitions in addition to alliances as the paper requirements states.

ADDITIONAL POINT: Remember, this is an International Management course, hence the assignment will ask you to compare and analyze cross-cultural challenges.
