The PNE WIND AG is planning on a wind power project in Australia for one of his customers. The goal in the following chapter is to analyze is to the country, doing an analysis of the location i.e. the climate, the weather, the wind scale, the time zone(s), the topography the infrastructure and the optimal route for transport facilities. Furthermore, the economical environment will be analyzed too. This includes the GDP, the political system and the unemployment rate. Afterwards comes the analysis of the communication between the headquarter in Germany and the office in Australia during time zones and daylight saving time. In Addition the recommendations for the efficient communication forms or techniques with regard to the occurring situations. The fourth chapter will show the cultural comparisons between Australia and Germany by Hofstede's six dimensions in detail. Then comes the explanation of the different expected behaviors due to the Hofstede analysis. In chapter five the project will be explained in a detailed work break down structure and a task schedule with Gantt chart.
The last chapter will show a conclusion whether if building a wind farm in the subsequently selected town is feasible or not.
