As an expatriate getting ready for your first assignment, understanding as much as possible about the host country's culture is essential. Why? Provide at least two examples based on different cultural dimensions

What will be an ideal response?

Students should first state that understanding the differences in the host country culture can provide a better understanding of what beliefs and values are likely different from their own culture and workplace, and this will better prepare them to adjust their management style to the culture. Students should use at least two examples of specific differences drawing from the Hofstede and/or Trompenaars and Hampden-Turner model(s).
