To the extent possible remove your personal politics from the assignment. The structure of the paper is up to you but remember to write to academic and/or professional standards. The paper is based on learning about the culture of Old Providence, San Andres and Ketlina Islands. I have added a file folder with information about the islands founded by pilgrims in the 1620’s. Read the files I have provided first. Then do your research. Negotiation and Conflict Resolution across Cultures Research shows that deal-making across cultures tends to lead to worse outcomes as compared with negotiations conducted within the same culture. Cultures are primarily characterized by different behaviors, communication styles, and norms. As a result, when negotiating across cultures, sides bring different perspectives to the bargaining table, which in turn may result in potential misunderstandings. Misunderstandings can lead to a lower likelihood of exploring and discovering integrative, or value-creating, solutions. Learn about the culture of Old Providence, San Andres and Ketlina Islands. (See File Folder) for information about the islands founded by pilgrims in the 1620’s. Write a summary about the islands their culture and potential business opportunities. As a consultant to the islands government what would you recommend? Comment on the topic and present examples. Read this handout, “Case Study Writing,” for specific instructions on researching, analyzing, and writing the case study and teaching note.
