You invite all of the players to the headquarters in the United States for a big meeting to explain the project and get to know one another. In preparation for the meeting, you want to avoid cultural silos, while ensuring all parties engage with each other. Answer the following questions in preparation:
What do you know about these cultures-specifically their economic, political, educational, and social systems-that could help you in getting them together?
What are some of the contrasting cultural values of these countries?

Furthermore, you only speak English, and you do not have an interpreter planned at this time. What strategy would you use to begin to have everyone develop a relationship with each other that will help ease future negotiations, development, and implementation? Address the following questions in your response.
How will this affect the presentation?
