The Canadian government is interested exploring and developing trade options with Bangladesh and have invited a delegation from Bangladesh to visit Canada for a few days. The delegations consist of government officials and representatives from business in the areas of finance, tourism, and commodities. On the eve of the arrival the Canadian delegation hosts a dinner party to welcome the Bangladeshi delegation.

The dinner was not a success. Both the Bangladeshis and the Canadians remained relatively uneasy throughout the meal. During the dinner, no welcoming speeches or toasts to mutual health were made. At the end of the meal, the Bangladeshis stood up, thanked the hosts, declined a ride back to their hotel, and left feeling slighted.

The Canadians also felt upset. They found the departure of the Bangladeshis to be very abrupt, yet they did not know what they had done wrong. Despite planning the menu carefully, providing excellent translation services, and extending normal Canadian courtesies, the Canadians knew something had gone wrong; they were worried and somewhat hurt by the lack of rapport.

There are 6 theory (Individualism, Masculinity/Femininity, Indulgence/Restraint, Power Distance, Long-term/Short-term, Orientation, Uncertainty Avoidance )

Pick TWO main theories that caused the dinner to be unsuccessful & state why. Provide at least two concrete strategies per theory that would have improved the outcome.
