Communication Essential Assignment

Analyze the following cross-cultural incident. As a junior manager at McCain Foods Limited, you have been sent to Hong Kong to work on the development of new regional food varieties to appeal to two billion Asian consumers. The Chinese are among the highest per capita soup eaters in the world, consuming an average of one bowl a day. In the Hong Kong taste kitchen, you are currently working on cabbage soup, scallop broth, and a special soup that combines watercress and duck meat. You've even tested exotic ingredients like shark's fin and snake. The supervisor of the taste kitchen understands English, but sometimes her eyes glaze over when you discuss procedures with her. What could you do to improve comprehension and minimize misunderstanding?
