- Question 1: Take a look at p. 120 and the exhibit of cultural noise between a German (leader) and an Indian (subordinate). Why do you think there was such a misunderstanding? How could the German have prepared and handled this communication better?

The post should a) answer the question(s) posed by the instructor and b) critically analyze, to the best of your ability, the implications of the subject matter at hand. I expect that these posts will be at least 2 paragraphs in length and be written in a relatively formal academic style taking grammar and spelling into consideration. Please ensure that you provide the page(s) from the text where you drew your answers.
For example: Customers expect organizations to be responsive to their needs (p. 9).
