You are a senior manager in a medium-sized but highly profitable equipment manufacturing organization. You and other senior leaders have decided to partner with an international company on several projects of mutual interest.
Your company is in Houston, Texas, in the United States. The international company is in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Prior to sending your team to Saudi Arabia there are some aspects of the culture that everyone needs to know about. Research the culture with particular focus on the business culture. Specifically, what might the comparison and contrasts be in language, religion, forms of address, holidays, other time off, dress, and food. Please include information on these topics on both cultures.
Present your topics, including pictures, in a PowerPoint presentation intended for your company managers. Use the Speaker Notes area of PowerPoint for your narrative textual information, with restricted use of text on the slides to focus on trigger words of topic importance.
