You will be required to write a comparative analysis of your own culture of origin and any other culture of your choice. Your comparative analysis should demonstrate an ability to compare and contrast any chosen culture with your cultural using the cultural frameworks mentioned above (i.e., Trompenaars, GLOBE project or Hofstede). To achieve this, – Clearly define the cultural dimension/s of the cultural framework that you are going to apply to compare and contrast these two cultures. – Given the limitation of word count, you are encouraged to discuss only two dimensions (e.g., Power distance, individualism-collectivism, assertiveness, marriage & family system, specific-diffuse etc) maximum of any cultural framework (i.e., Trompenaars, GLOBE project or Hofstede). Establishing relationship between the chosen cultural dimensions is encouraged. – Identify subtle differences between these two cultures (values, beliefs and basic assumptions) even if the two cultures appear to be similar. – Identify if there is any similarity between your own culture of origin and the other culture of your choice, if they appear to be different as per the chosen cultural framework. – Discuss some generalisations that can be made, based on the comparison of the two cultures that could be relevant to managing in the global environment. – You should use at least six scholarly references, including the customised textbook to support your analysis and discussion. Cite those references in the text as well as in the reference list.
