Question

Assume you are a manager in a multinational company that needs to send a team of three to five people to saudi arabia for about two weeks to investigate the feasibility of selling your products there. what advice would you give them to help assure that cultural problems do not impede their success in this task?

Answer 1

The most important thing to understand is, if you go to a foreign place without any knowledge on their culture, the safest thing to do is research. The internet contains all the answers, if you only know where to look. Make sure that your products cater to your consumers' needs and that it does not violate or offend their culture. Also, you must be able to adapt and be lenient to clients.
