The project assignment provides a forum for analyzing and evaluating relevant topics for this week on the basis of the course competencies covered.
Introduction:
As an HR professional, you need to prepare expatriates for their assignments. Cross-cultural training will definitely benefit the group.

Tasks:
- Develop a synopsis of Geert Hofstede.
- Examine several key facts that led to Hofstede’s research and the validity of his Cultural Dimensions theories.
- Evaluate one of Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions theories.
- Analyze how the knowledge of the Cultural Dimensions theories will assist a new expatriate assigned to this country. Select a country to apply the theory.
