be 10-15 minutes and will cover topics such as general information about the country, appointments,
appropriate dress, conversation, gift giving, negotiating a deal, entertaining, and public behavior. The
grade will be based on factual and clear content, creativity of the presentation, visual aids, references,
and professional presentation.

country. This should be submitted as a voice-over PowerPoint presentation. All concepts must be
preapproved by your instructor.

about your assigned country and the United States, identify relevant business opportunities for existing
