4. Accessing the Social-Cultural Environment
Learning Goals
1. To assess social and cultural influences of global business activities
2. To identify potential adaptations
Purpose

demographic trends. In this module, your goal is to gain cultural and social awareness about the country
(or countries) you are considering for your global business opportunity.

Conduct Research
Based on the country (or countries) you are analyzing for your global business enterprise, research
information related to the following areas:
1. DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS
Identify demographic trends (such as birth rates, literacy rates) that might influence business
activities in the country. (Lower birth rates result in an aging population with expanded demand
for health care.)
2. CULTURAL ANALYSIS
Discuss language, customs, traditions, and beliefs of the country. (Religious beliefs may make
the sale of certain products inappropriate in some countries.)
3. SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS
Analyze the influences of social institutions (family, church, labor organizations) on the business
culture. (In some countries, a strong tie exists between family and business.)
4. INFORMAL TRADE BARRIERS
Describe informal trade barriers created by social and cultural factors. (Communication styles
and negotiating tactics vary around the world resulting in the need to adapt to the host
country’s culture.)
Prepare Summary
For your project, prepare a summary report consisting of the following components:
1. An overview of demographic trends that could influence global business activities.
2. A description of cultural factors, social institutions, and informal trade barriers that could affect
global business activities.
3. Recommend actions for existing companies or new enterprises that might be necessary when
considering the social and cultural environment of the foreign market. Provide evidence to
support your recommendations.
