Create a 10-15 slide PowerPoint presentation for organizational leadership that compares and contrasts the cultural context of two selected countries.OverviewUsing Geert Hofstede’s and others' work on comparative country cultures, you will select and conduct research on two countries, comparing and contrasting their cultures on several dimensions, including business climate and leadership and management practices. Then, you will suppose you have been asked to prepare a presentation for senior leadership in your company to help them plan for and prepare expert teams who will be sent to the two countries you have selected. These relocated team members will work with U.S. members as well as members from both countries.Demonstration of ProficiencyBy successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and scoring guide criteria: Competency 1: Analyze aspects of leading and working in global and diverse environments. Compare and contrast the cultural context of selected countries. Competency 2: Apply practices for leading and following in diverse environments. Analyze the implications of working with and leading others in the selected countries. Competency 3: Analyze ways in which leaders and followers make personal and professional adjustments as they work in complex environments. Develop recommendations for the application of cultural intelligence to leadership strategies and practices in the cultures of the selected countries. Competency 4: Communicate effectively in a professional manner. Communicate in a professional manner, using scholarly resources that support the analysis through clear, concise, well-organized, and grammatically correct writing that incorporates appropriate APA style conventions. PreparationSelect two countries in different continents or regions (for example, do not select both India and Pakistan, but rather select India and France). The two countries must have available information on their cultures and implicit leadership theories that may operate in the countries.In order to conduct your country, culture, and leadership research, you will need to use both academic and professional resources. Information on countries, including economics, business climate, ways of doing business, and cultural profiles can be found in the Global Business Research Library Guide. You may also search scholarly literature, including management and leadership data from various countries, using the Capella library and databases such as Business Source Complete, ABI/Inform, and others. Consider your online resources carefully, and use those with research-based information versus popular blogs.Assessment RequirementsPrepare a 10–15 slide PowerPoint presentation intended for organizational leadership. Your presentation should include detailed speaker's notes. Address the following in your presentation and notes: Compare and contrast the cultural context of the selected countries. Comparison criteria includes: Culture. Economics. Business climate. Common business practices in each culture. Management and leadership practices. The status of and cultural expectations for women in each culture. Analyze the implications of working with and leading others in the selected countries. Synthesize development strategies and ethical global leadership requirements. Include elements of ethics and social responsibility.

Required ResourcesRead/review the following resources for this activity:Textbook: Chapter 8, 9, 17 (Introduction); review Chapter 7LessonIntroductionRemember – your actual journal entry should be somewhat brief; most of your time should be spent thinking about the questions asked and the issues raised. Your thoughts should then be distilled into a mini-argument that will respond affirmatively to the four tests for evaluating arguments: truthfulness of premises, logical strength, relevance, and non-circularity.InstructionsFor this journal assignment, briefly answer each of the following prompts:Inference: The differing meanings of "valid inference" and "warranted inference" are closely related to the differing purposes of deductive and inductive arguments – the purpose of deductive being to prove; the purpose of inductive to make the conclusion most probable.Look up the words "valid" and "warranted." Each of these words, you will find, has what is known as a lexical definition – that is just the dictionary definition of the word. Words also have a certain connotations - meanings that go beyond their lexical definitions; associated ideas and concepts – think of terms such a "fur baby" as the name for a pet.Briefly discuss how the lexical definitions and connotations of "valid" and "warranted" can help us understand the differing purposes of deductive and inductive arguments.Fallacies: In Section 8.2, the text states that there are "fallacious argument templates" (Facione & Gittens, p. 167) and then gives a number of examples. The authors further state: "Analysis of the meanings of the terms used and the grammatical rules of the language reveal the source of error" (p.167).Choose one of the fallacies in this section, such as Denying the Antecedent or False Classification and pair it with the valid argument template. For example, if you choose Denying the Antecedent, the valid argument template will be Denying the Consequent. False Classification would pair with one of the fallacies in Reasoning About Classes of Objects.Explain, in your own words, how the fallacy is revealed through analysis of the valid argument template. Think of it this way – if you know how the heart works, you will know that certain malfunctions will prevent it from working. For example, if you know that the coronary arteries supply the heart with blood, then you can reason that a blockage will stop that vital flow. So this journal prompt asks you to explain, in your own words, how one of the valid argument templates work – and how that exposes the fallacy connected with that type of argument.Civic Responsibility: At the end of Chapter 9 there is a Bonus Exercise that asks you to research and analyze the 2009 debate over the healthcare public option. If you were actually to complete that exercise, it would take quite a bit of time and effort.Do you think that completing such an exercise would be time well spent or time wasted? If well-spent, why? If time wasted, why?Is there any issue on which you think a comparable amount of time and effort would be worthwhile?As a critical thinker, do you believe that citizens have an obligation to be informed on topics of current interest? If yes, why, if no, why not?If you include references to outside sources (beyond the textbook), make sure you cite them properly.Writing Requirements (APA format)Length: 2-3 pages (not including title page or references page)1-inch marginsDouble spaced12-point Times New Roman fontTitle pageReferences page (as needed)
