Abstract:     
The assessment invites students to study and critically apply some of the tools, concepts and models discussed in managing international business. More specifically, students are asked to critically identify and apply the cultural dimension models and discuss some of the cultural characteristics of Russia and the United Kingdom. In addition, they are expected to explore the advantages and disadvantages of joint ventures versus mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and recommend actions for top management to ensure the long-term success of such decisions.
