问题 Task 9 Training Overseas Expansion
The Retail Company you work for intends to expand into foreign markets and needs to train local staff to deal with this. The Managing Director has asked you to make suggestions for a training program.
Discuss, and decide together:
How important do you think it is to gain experience of business practices in other countries? (Why? / Why not?)

选项

答案Suggested answers: Candidate A: I think it is very important to gain experience of business practices in other countries. A list of variables representing the world’s cultures is endless. On the other hand, it is possible to over-generalize, for no two people within any culture are identical. Each of us is even different from clay to day. Thus it is possible for our individual personalities to interact with the individual and national environmental variables. Over time there may be many dramatic changes, or none. You may have problems coping with changes in your own culture; add tile foreign element, and the problems are compounded. Candidate B: We can quickly find out that no magic formula is available for your foreign work. Therefore, it is very necessary to gain experience of business practices in other countries. Yet, to prepare for overseas work and to improve your intercultural communication you should try to learn some of the languages; to be aware of specific communication differences, including differences in speaking and writing; and to do some specific research on local business practices in other countries.
