Understanding Cultural Differences-GLOBE (Scenario)
John has done well in his company. In only five years, he has risen to the position of divisional manager. However, he knows that in order to rise to the level of senior management, he needs to spend some time managing abroad in his company's foreign subsidiaries. Although he has travelled to foreign countries on business and vacations, he has never lived abroad, and he wonders what cultural differences he would find. He is considering applying for a new foreign-based position, but he first wants to learn about some of the basic differences between managing in Canada and managing in a foreign country. John researched the topic of international management and found many helpful facts about various countries and their people. But perhaps the most interesting model he found was the GLOBE framework for assessing cultural differences. Using data from thousands of managers in 62 countries, the GLOBE research team identified several dimensions on which national cultures differ. As John reviewed the GLOBE rankings, he began to appreciate why managers on foreign assignments need to be incredibly sensitive to cultural differences!
