The correct answer to fill in the blank in the question: As the U.S manager is the person who wants to share the information, he would be considered the in the communication process, would be: the sender.

Explanation:

The communication process is the means by which people are able to rely messages, information, knowledge, and even non-verbal messages, through verbal, and non-verbal, ways of communication. This process consists of two major stages: transmission (the rely of a message by a sender, through a specific encoding mechanism, the decoding by the received or receivers of such a message and the means by which the message has been delivered) and the feedback stage, where understanding between sender and receiver, on the message delivered, is achieved and responses produced accordingly. The process also depends on the two ends of the chain, the sender, which is the person that gives out the message, and the receiver, which is the person who gets the message. In this case, the U.S manager wishes the Asian guest to receive information that will lead him to produce a response (sign a contract), which makes him the sender. That´s the reason for the answer above.

answer; the above statement is (true);
