Questions for Discussion:

  1. Do you agree that the Canadian government should question whether Target Corp. is a good cultural fit for Canada?
  2. Is it a government’s responsibility to curtail foreign operations due to cultural differences?
  3. What should Target do to appear more culturally amiable to Canadian values?
