NuGas Corp

question 5

Essay

NuGas Corp. has just sent a dozen (mostly white male) managers from Germany to its exploration site in a remote area of Indonesia. Few of these managers have worked with Indonesian employees, so the company has asked you to design an on-site one-day experiential training program to help these managers to minimize perceptual problems that might otherwise occur. The program must be experiential (i.e. participants interact with each other rather than attend an awareness lecture) and the activities must help the managers to discover biases that may be hidden or unknown to them. Describe the key features of this training program and discuss its conceptual foundations.
