global management skills

MT140M4-4: Identify the implications of competitiveness and collaboration in a global economy.
The Module 4 assessment involves addressing both the overall need for managers to understand how to supervise individuals across geographical boundaries and the specific skills and considerations necessary to successfully manage across cultures.
Prior to working on the assessment, consider completing the following learning activity, as it will prepare you to address the assessment requirements.
Review the scenario below. Using the material from Chapter 9 of the text, the supplemental source list below, as well as your own independent research, you will determine how culture might impact management decisions.
Scenario:
The manufacturing department at PG Industries has recently implemented a new training program at their headquarters location in Texas. They now need to roll out the new training across their other global locations, including facilities in the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, and Japan. Each of these countries has a unique approach to doing business influenced by their own cultural norms.
