Q1 You have just received an email from an Arab dealer asking for a quotation for the supply of five executive saloon cars. Which of the following is your potential customer more likely to be really interested in? Rufryhqdqwvzlwk*rgdqgzlwkrqhdqrwkhuiruzklfkwkh zhuhshuvrqdoo uhvsrqvleoh (dfk3xulwdqzruvklsshudssurdfkhg*rgdvdvhsdudwhehlqj vhhnlqj. A fleet of five cars made up of Mercedes, BMWs, Jaguars or similar. Your willingness to secure a discount with your boss and offer a special deal for the Arab customer. Scarface: The World is Yours - game update v.1.00.2 EU - Download Game update (patch) to Scarface: The World is Yours, a(n) action game, v.1.00.2 EU, added on Monday. Scarface: The World is Yours v1.00.2 Euro Patch. Scarface_update_eu_1001_1002.exe| 42.27 MB. A patch has been released updating the European editions of Scarface: The World is Yours to v1.00.2. It fixes and improves various graphical issues, as well as squash a few bugs. Ign. ![]() One Executive Car of any make. Your minimum price. An important aspect of doing business in Arab countries is the relationship you have or can develop with your business partner. Whilst your Arab dealer will obviously want a fair price, they won’t necessarily want the cheapest deal. But showing you are willing or able to offer a discount is indicative of the longer term relationship you would like to establish with them. Once you have secured this deal, you could be well on the way to many such deals in the future with this customer because of this relationship you have established. Is probably the best. Q2 You are sending to Japan a new type of automated control valve used in oil pipelines that you manufacture. Which of the following is most important to send with your delivery? A detailed design and technical specification written in Japanese. A technician to help explain how to install and use the equipment. A clear detailed manual in English. Audio and video in Japanese on how to set up and use the equipment. Obviously it is more than just polite to provide your customer with instructions in their own language rather than expecting them to be able to follow documentation and instructions in English. However, if you are selling technology, the Japanese will appreciate your use of technology (audio and video) to brief them. And of course, a ‘picture’ is worth a thousand words. Is probably the best. Q3 You are conducting a performance appraisal meeting with a member of your staff who is Vietnamese. You ask him “where do you think you will be in two years time?” He looks at you in surprise. What do you think is the main reason for his concern? He expects you to know the answer ~ because you are his manager. He thinks you are suggesting he should quit the company. He thinks he wants you to change to a more suitable job in another department of the company. He thinks you are going to give him a low score on his evaluation and appraisal. He may be thinking any of these answers – or others of course. The issue is that he expects there to be a hierarchical relationship between him as one of your sub-ordinates and you as his manager. Further, his expectation is that the relationship you have with him is more than just the specific tasks he completes that you assign to him. He perceives his whole future career (and the life of his family) is dependent on you looking after him as his mentor. Is probably the more likely. Q4 As an American or European, you are an expatriate General Manager of a production factory in Singapore.
