Overview
Using Geert Hofstede’s and others’ work (Geert Hofstede Site: https://geerthofstede.com/landing-page/) on comparative country cultures, you will conduct research on two countries, comparing and contrasting these cultures on several dimensions, including business climate as well as leadership and management practices. You have been asked to prepare a presentation to senior leadership in your company to help them plan for and prepare expat teams who will be sent to the two countries you have selected. These relocated team members will work with U.S. members as well as members from both countries.
By successfully completing this assignment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies:
Analyze aspects of leading and working in global and diverse environments.
Apply practices for leading and following in diverse environments.
Analyze ways in which leaders and followers make personal and professional adjustments as they work in complex environments.
Communicate effectively in a professional manner.
Preparation
Select two countries in different continents or regions (please do not choose India and Pakistan, but rather select India and France, for example). If you are unclear as to which countries to use for this assignment, please contact your instructor. The two countries must have enough available information on their cultures and implicit leadership theories that may operate in the countries.
To conduct your country, culture, and leadership research, you will need to use academic as well as professional resources. Information on countries, including economics, business climate, ways of doing business, and cultural profiles can be found in the Global Business Research Library Guide. You will also be able to search scholarly literature including management and leadership data from various countries using the Capella library and databases such as Business Source Complete and ABI/Inform. Consider your online resources carefully and use those with research-based information versus popular blogs.
Assignment Requirements
For your assignment, you will prepare a PowerPoint presentation (with detailed speaker’s notes) to organizational leadership and include the following:

• Undertake a detailed market analysis of the Australian
TOURISM Sector.
• Demonstrate the mastery of international marketing
and how to successfully enter the Australian Market

For A4 you need to critically reflect on your own performance, communication style and indicate an awareness of what you might do to improve.
Identify your main weakness and the area(s) you need to improve.
Show how you arrived at this conclusion (above) by summarizing, analysing and evaluating the feedback from your peers you have received during the semester. What did your peers say? Was their assessment valid? What do relevant literatures (either relevant research or contemporary instructional resources) have to say about your peer’s assessment of your performances
Where to from here and what can you do to improve? Use the relevant literature on presentations and speeches to describe ideal state and/or the goals you aspire to. For example, if you have identified that one of your weakness and areas you need to work on is how you structure your presentation(s), you might refer to chapter 3 “Organisation” in the set text.
Assignment 1: Case Study Assignment: Assessment Tools and Diagnostic Tests in Adults and Children
When seeking to identify a patient’s health condition, advanced practice nurses can use a diverse selection of diagnostic tests and assessment tools; however, different factors affect the validity and reliability of the results produced by these tests or tools. Nurses must be aware of these factors in order to select the most appropriate test or tool and to accurately interpret the results.
Not only do these diagnostic tests affect adults, body measurements can provide a general picture of whether a child is receiving adequate nutrition or is at risk for health issues. These data, however, are just one aspect to be considered. Lifestyle, family history, and culture—among other factors—are also relevant. That said, gathering and communicating this information can be a delicate process.

For this Assignment, you will consider the validity and reliability of different assessment tools and diagnostic tests. You will explore issues such as sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values. You will also consider examples of children with various weight issues. You will explore how you could effectively gather information and encourage parents and caregivers to be proactive about their children’s health and weight.
To Prepare
• Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider factors that impact the validity and reliability of various assessment tools and diagnostic tests. You also will review examples of pediatric patients and their families as it relates to BMI.

Note: Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your assignments from your Instructor.
• Search the Walden Library and credible sources for resources explaining the tool or test you were assigned. What is its purpose, how is it conducted, and what information does it gather?
• Also, as you search the Walden library and credible sources, consider what the literature discusses regarding the validity, reliability, sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, ethical dilemmas, and controversies related to the test or tool.
• If you are assigned Assignment Option 2 (Child), consider what health issues and risks may be relevant to the child in the health example.
o Based on the risks you identified, consider what further information you would need to gain a full understanding of the child’s health. Think about how you could gather this information in a sensitive fashion.
o Consider how you could encourage parents or caregivers to be proactive toward the child’s health.
