Managing
Conflicts and Risks within a Global Team
*Please check the attached file for more detail*
Students will utilize the following case study to complete this
assignment.
*My part is
India, ONLY do India please*
For this assignment, students will utilize
the scenario that was provided for “the Cross-Cultural Communication
Presentation.” Apply analytical concepts, tools, research and
Hofstede model to analyze and solve a real-world scenario. The case will
reflect conflicts and potential risks within a firm’s global team. First,
students should identify the types of conflicts and risks that could affect the
company’s global operations. Second, students should devise effective strategies
for resolution and mitigation of the identified conflicts and risks. Students
will present the conflicts, risks, and corresponding strategies using a live or
narrated PowerPoint presentation depending on the class mode.
The assumption is that, after developing
an in-depth understanding of specific cultural factors related to each of the
four population groups, the manager of the global team implemented the communication
plan to deliver the message regarding the possible emergence of a pandemic.
Upon the execution of the communication plan, the manager has received the
following comments from each branch:
l Italy: “We are a
small team

here at the mercy of the Seattle headquarter and executive team. We
need to make sure that the boss has our back.”
l India: “Our opinions are often ignored. It’s so difficult to find a
good time to exchange ideas, and even if we do manage to connect, we can’t get
a word in edgewise.”
l Brazil: “We do the
important work and have easy access to the Seattle executive team.”
l UAE: “We represent
the most challenging regions in terms of diversity and institutional obstacles.
The Seattle executive team really doesn’t understand our markets and potential effects
of this pandemic on our operations and business here.”
Informed by the above information, in the first step,
student should do culture research for a specific country (My part is India, ONLY do India please.). In the second step, student should identify the types of conflicts
and risks that can occur in each location and impact global operations. In the
third step, students should devise effective strategies for resolution and
mitigation of the identified conflicts and risks. Students will
present the conflicts, risks, and corresponding strategies using a live or
narrated PowerPoint presentation depending on the class mode.
