2. Cross Cultural Research Activity Research two world cultures. Explain where they are in the world, something unique about the culture and identify some ‘do’s and taboo’s’ – what should you do or NOT do as a traveller (or if travelling on business) and why? We stopped here today. Tomorrow we will start from next slide.

4. Two Cultures, Two Barbies The Barbie Doll didn't do very well in Japan, until Mattel gave the manufacturing license to Takara, a Japanese toy and doll specialist. Takara did some marketing research and found that most Japanese disliked Barbie. Her breasts were far too big, her legs were exaggeratedly long. So Takara made the appropriate modifications to Barbie's anatomy, converted her blue eyes to brown as well, and found instant success in the market.

5. In India it was a totally different story. India loves this little doll just as she is, golden blonde, blue eyed and leggy, if a bit plastic. This Barbie is a precise copy of her American incarnation, right down to the design of her miniskirt, her lounger and end table set, her diary, and antique telephone. BUT…There is no place for a Ken doll in the market. The concept of a boyfriend may be too advanced in India where premarital relationships are frowned on and many wedding couples don't meet until their wedding day. What sells in America does not necessarily sell in Japan
