Are your personal values representative of your national ones?
Explain the following statement Fish can't see water - Richard D.Lewis & Kai Hammerich
Explain the following of delivering a presentation: You should tell people what you're going to tell them, then you should tell them, and then you should tell them what you've told them - Erin Meyer
Why do people begin to prioritize freedom and indulge in creativity and recreational pleasure when they feel safe?
What country would you like to relocate to if you wanted to start your own business?]]>
(103 words)
Fish can't see water in the same way as you can't see your own culture. It is your natural environment that's why we don’t know we are in water, and as a consequence we don’t understand our surroundings.
You don't know in what way you're different from other people. (And) (What's more | Furthermore | In addition) you see the world from the perspective of the | the environment of the "water" of your own national culture.
National culture may impact corporate culture in a negative or positive way. The management should always remember about cultural differences to make the best of it.
e. What country would you like to relocate to if you wanted to start your own business? (147 words)
If I wanted to start my own business I would relocate to a country where I could easily legalize my activities, and where taxes are not high and doing business is safe.
The safest places for business are democratic countries with strick strict laws (like ) (such as) in the USA or UK, but these countries are very expensive.
Also, I would consider national culture and where would I want to live. For example, Singapore looks like a good choice for starting business, but I doubt if I can understand their culture well enough.
Canada seems like a good choice to me because they have provinces which get government support. So, if you invest in some Canadian provinces, you can legalize your enterprise easily and get legal support. (And ) (What's more | Finally) I personally like Canada because I think I could understand them better (because ) (indeed | since | as) we have the same weather and nature conditions (and because ) (indeed | since | as | Last but not least) their society seems relatable more accessible | easier to relate to to me.
