Assume that you are from an individualistic country and that your company plans to conduct business with an organization from a collectivistic country. Complete the following:
1. Define the role that face saving plays in collectivistic and individualistic cultures. What are the differences? What are the similarities? (use not only what you found in the textbook, also conduct external research to give a full description). (25 points)
2. Make a list of specific suggestions that your colleagues could follow that would allow people to save face while still solving group problems (an example would be that one might avoid complimenting individuals while directing any compliments to the group). Check the textbook for suggestions and use your personal experiences as well as conducting research using the terms "face saving" and "facework". Support your suggestions. What stood out to you? (40 points)
Your work should be submitted as a word document, APA formatting, Font 12 Double spaced with a words cited page. Be sure to appropriately cite sources within and at the end of your work.
*Making the connection*** EVERY assignment requires you to connect the concepts of the chapter to your analysis and research. This has to be evident (not eluded to) within your writing. Therefore, you must cite the textbook internally within your writing and at the end along with your references. Best practices include making the definition of the term and expanding with support with the research that you do. I really need to see your understanding of what your textbook is saying and how you are synthesizing it into your research and analysis. Conducting research beyond the textbook for your assignments - will strengthen the points you earn. All external research must also be cited internally and at the end of your work.
