Purpose: This exam requires you to demonstrate case analysis method by creating a document with a problem statement, a well-developed analysis paragraph, a criteria statement, two well-developed alternative paragraphs demonstrating possible solutions to the problem, and a well-developed comparative recommendation. Your document should adhere to all section requirements, and principles of sentence mechanics, paragraph construction, document continuity we explored this semester.
Materials: As per one online reminder and two in-class reminders, you were allowed to bring your printed Baxter case, a 1 to 3 page article on international communications in business (or a copy of the Diversity and International Communications chapter from our text), and your company and industry overview from your team's global expansion report. You can still do well on this test without these materials if you know the case, chapter, and your team's report well, which you should since the first two were required reading, and you spent almost two months researching your report's company.
Task: Assume your clients accepted your team's recommendation in your global expansion report. Now they've hired you again to help implement their increased presence in any country your team looked at for the report. They already have experts who can take care of the money, logistics, building, and legal issues. The clients specifically assigned you to suggest one action they should take regarding the impending interaction between its current employees and the new and future employees in the new location.
What can be done for the good of the company in anticipation of this future interaction between employees from different parts of the world?
