Instructions
Background
The terms “international,” “multinational,” and “global business” are often used interchangeably; however, there are differences among these terms. Multinational Corporations (MNC) have facilities and assets in at least one country other than their home countries. They adjust their products (i.e., goods, services, and ideas) to each local market. Global companies in several countries promote and distribute the exact image/brand in all markets. Still, managing in either form of international business requires understanding the political, cultural, economic, and regulatory environment of the countries where they operate. Also, it is important to know how people are different in each culture. The cultural dimensions of humane orientation, individualism/collectivism, and others are key to understanding people as part of your work as a leader and a manager.

Explain how you would manage a typical work situation (choose a work scenario that you are familiar with that might include training, general supervision, etc.) regarding each of the three cultural dimensions within the countries identified earlier.
Use what you learned from the Week 1 self-assessment to discuss how your leadership strengths and limitations would help or hinder your approach to managing the situation described earlier.
