First Business Trip to Asia (Scenario)

His current mission is to scout out potential locations in Asia and develop an international expansion strategy for his company. There are many options, including maintaining the business's head office in Canada and sending over company representatives when necessary or developing a separate company in Asia and hiring locals to manage the business. Jeff's trip will take him to Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China. He is looking forward to learning more about the business practices and customs of each country and is not too worried about the fact that he only speaks English.
