Problem:
Your firm will expand internationally this year and will include in its management team those from the cultures and regions into which it expands. You must prepare the management team to adapt and change the American management training to fit those of other cultures. Put together a slide presentation for the management team, explaining the impact that local cultures of attendees (Chinese and Argentinean culture) will have on their acceptance and adaptation of the managerial training concepts. Include in your presentation areas such as autocratic versus participatory style of leadership, delegation, acceptance gained as the leader, motivation of employees, employee rewards, and role of the leader.
Research question: how to adapt the American Management training program to employees that belong to the same Multinational Corporation (MNC) but are located in different countries?
