If I had an organization that was expanding and I wanted to grow my business then I would take it into international grounds in order to enlarge my worth. I would have to be able to communicate in a way that would be respectful to the people of that country or culture so that I can make business deal and build a relationship with other people. I understand I have to be aware of differing social values, status and customs. I have to change some of my social skills I have learned in the United States and become accustom to those of other cultures. However, since some countries are high-context I would have to study non-verbal communication and learn when to use them and when not to use them. I would also have to learn which cultures are accepter of business women and which will not in order to know when to send a woman and when to send a man. Etiquette and legal actions would have to be studied in order to know the rules of the land and what steps I need to take in order to be in compliance with work and business regulations. For example, if I go to Africa and try and do business with some of the local business women in the land, I would learn their customs, when they do business, their etiquettes, behavior, language barrier, dress attire, and time that they do business in that country. Ambiguity is something that has to be expected when doing business in other countries and if one wants to do business in foreign countries then should be able to operate in patience.
