Abstract
Two German expatriates are assigned to a newly formed strategic alliance with a company in the United States. They experience difficulty with American culture and the culture of the organization. Although they achieve some success in their assignment, the two men leave the company a year early and return to Germany. The case explores possible areas of conflict between German and American culture.
