1. The Growing Importance of Intercultural Communication
As organizations expand into global markets, business communicators need to become aware of their own culture and how it differs from other cultures. Cultural awareness allows professionals to communicate successfully with other cultures and to navigate the intercultural challenges of a globalized business world. The first step in overcoming intercultural obstacles is understanding the trends that drive globalization.
Identify the trend illustrated by the following example.
A U. S. retailer of high-tech products looks to open stores in Russia where there has been a surge in demand for smartphones and tablet computers.
Favorable trade agreements
Robust middle-class growth
Transportation advancements
Identify the trend illustrated by the following example.
A high-end clothing company has branch managers in Rome, Paris, and Chicago. They meet quarterly via teleconference.
Declining domestic markets
Technological advancements
Robust middle-class growth
When companies expand into global markets, they must be aware of the different cultural environments they are entering. A successful business model in one country may not be successful in another. U. S. companies, such as Wal-Mart, Best Buy, and Home Depot, for example, have struggled in certain overseas markets due to their inability to meet the needs and expectations of the local culture.
Read the hypothetical description of an overseas country, and then answer the following question.
People in this country tend to place a high value on protecting the environment. While they enjoy certain products imported from other countries, when it comes to food and drink, they prefer domestic brands. They consider it inappropriate to smile at strangers, and they value the freedom to engage in whatever relationships they want with coworkers outside of work.
A U. S. store opens in this country and exhibits the following characteristics. Which of these characteristics will be problematic for the success of the store? Check all that apply.
A beer and wine selection primarily made up of U. S. brands
A policy forbidding employees from dating each other
A wide selection of environmentally safe cleaning products
A friendliness policy encouraging employees to smile at customers
Plastic bags
2. Culture and Communication

Choose those characteristics that describe culture from the following list. Check all that apply.
Culture is inherently illogical.
Culture is solely dedicated to art and music.
Culture never changes.
Culture is inherently logical.
Culture is the basis of self-identity and community.
Culture is learned.
The basic dimensions of a culture include context, individualism, power distance, communication style, and time orientation. Cultural anthropologist Edward T. Hall developed the concept of context and placed cultures on a spectrum from low to high context. A low-context culture does not rely heavily on extensive environmental information while a high-context culture relies heavily on environmental information. As you complete the following exercises, you’ll notice that context is often closely related to the other dimensions of culture.

Zachary company produces commercial gardening equipment. since production is highly automated, the company allocates its overhead costs to product lines using activity-based costing. the costs and cost drivers associated with the four overhead activity cost pools follow: activities unit level batch level product level facility level cost $ 64,800 $ 27,730 $ 15,000 $ 154,000 cost driver 2,400 labor hrs. 47 setups percentage of use 11,000 units production of 780 sets of cutting shears, one of the company’s 20 products, took 240 labor hours and 7 setups and consumed 15 percent of the product-sustaining activities. required: (a) had the company used labor hours as a company wide allocation base, how much overhead would it have allocated to the cutting shears? (b) how much overhead is allocated to the cutting shears using activity-based costing? (c) compute the overhead cost per unit for cutting shears first using activity-based costing and then using direct labor hours for allocation if 780 units are produced. if direct product costs are $150 and the product is priced at 30 percent above cost for what price would the product sell under each allocation system? (d) assuming that activity-based costing provides a more accurate estimate of cost, indicate whether the cutting shears would be over- or underpriced if direct labor hours are used as an allocation base. explain how over-or undercosting can affect vaulker's profitability. (e) comment on the validity of using the allocated facility-level cost in the pricing decision. should other costs be considered in a cost- plus pricing decision? if so, which ones? what costs would you include if you were trying to decide whether to accept a special order?
