A large U.S. corporation that manufactures rubber tires, and you want to begin manufacturing and distribution in another country. As a team, choose a country that you think you would want to start a manufacturing plant in. Each individual team member should pick out a role as chairman, vice-chairman, secretary, and treasurer. If there are more than 4 people on your team, double up on titles, but each team member should still submit an individual project.

 

Treasurer: Research and write on the following issues:

• What competitive advantage does this country have?
• What are some of the foreign trade issues you will have to deal with?
• What are the determinants to foreign entry there, and how would you enter there?
• You will be embarking on the international negotiation.
  • What are the 5 stages of negotiation, and how are you going to prepare for them?
  • What cultural differences do you need to be sensitive to in the process?
  • What would be some of the political, legal, economic, and ideological issues that may come up?
  • How would you manage conflict if it should come up in the negotiations?
  • What decision-making process would work better with the different cultures?
    • Inductive or deductive reasoning?
    • Is it a personal issue or a cultural issue?
