Could you provide your feedback to the following questions below?
Question 1. However, when dealing with different cultures from the individualistic, and collective cultures, how would you reconcile each strong norm from each group of people to effect a positive and strong GBT and how would you suggest each member from a different country learn from the other members in the group ensuring to minimize possible offenses?
Question 2. Competition is one tool used to help motivate global teams. Competition can be both a good and a bad thing for teams. Yes, competition can set up barriers and arguments between members. On the other hand competition can get products and services done faster. It you have design teams in China and the US competing for the completion and production award you may well get a better product quicker because of competition.
Any thoughts here about the negatives of setting up different teams to compete with each other?
Question 3. For a global management team, are there some good suggestions as to how to handle the necessity to communicate 24 hours a day and still maintain your sanity?
