Business and culture

Culture has a significant impact on business operations and the style of decisions. In a short essay (max 1000 words) explain the role of culture in how business functions in your country of origin. Contrast that with what you have learned through the simulation, text book, or other readings, with Canadian or another culture’s approach to business. It may be helpful to review course lecture notes/slides related to culture (various weeks).

Write a short essay in APA style with an appropriate cover page. Use an introduction and conclusion. (Abstracts are not appropriate for short works.) Ensure any external sources used are properly cited and referenced in your paper.
