REASON FOR CHOOSING THIS COMPANY
We chose this company because while going through the BMW site of Oman ,we found out that there are different people from different cultures in their team management as well as in their sales and after sales department. This included both male and female. So there could be a possibility where there are intercultural issues between them as well as in their way of approaching or participating in their job. We also except to find out many more cultural diversities in various other departments in the BMW showroom.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
We will be using various resources such as magazines ,articles ,web search ,online library and many more in order to gather as many information as possible. We will also be visiting the BMW showroom so as to interview the respected officials and some staffs so that they could share us with their intercultural issues due to the vast multi-cultural composition of the staff.
