Examine human resources across cultures in an organization

In the Case Assignment, you wrote a proposal on how you plan to
implement education and training within the organization to address
the opportunities and challenges associated with managing across
cultures. Your emphasis was on the host country of origin from the
host country’s perspective.
For the Signature assignment, you will build on your Week 4 case
assignment and add management across culture concepts/elements
from the United States perspective. For ex. Imagine you are working
in the U.S. Office and addressing cultural concepts and elements from
the United States perspective – for U.S. employees working with
foreign based employees in the U.S. location. Consider the module
when we discussed the language barrier in a presentation, which
made us aware that there was a need for education and training in the
host country. Now, that you have gathered information to educate and
train in the host country, complete the signature assignment by
improving the plan to incorporate training that addresses training U.S.
personnel. You may want to review terms discussed in TD1 of module
1, such as ethnocentrism, etc., to assist with completing the training
and education plan.
Please address the concepts learned and student-learning outcomes
in modules 1 – 8 (see table below). Your paper should be between 8 –
10 pages. Update your executive summary to include the new content
(still no more than 1 page). Your executive summary should include a
training plan that includes both the host country and the U.S.,
associated costs, and total human resources required. Again, address
the concepts learned and explain if they are applicable or not in the
organization. At the end of your paper, write four paragraphs about
what you learned about the organization as it pertained to the cross
cultural management in the host country and U.S., any preconceived
notions prior to research about the organization in the host country
relevant to the U.S., and your current perceptions about the
organization.
