Case Study «Multicultural project»

ISSUE

You are working on an international project with partners from two other countries. The project has been delayed by a variety of problems. Relationships within the project group have deteriorated and it is becoming more and more difficult to work together. A meeting has been called for the project leaders from each country (two in each case) to get together and try to sort out the frustrations.

AGENDA

  1. Timing

  2. Meetings

  3. Reports

  4. Hierarchy

  5. Action plan

Notes to the agenda

  1. Timing

There seem to be different attitudes towards deadlines. This should be an opportunity to sort out the important milestones for the project.

  1. Meetings

Some people regard the project meetings as essential, others as a nuisance. Again, an opportunity to reach common objectives about meetings and their purpose.

  1. Reports

Different approaches to report writing exist in the group. Some write extremely long and detailed project updates, others just a few lines. Some always write minutes of a meeting and circulate them, others don’t.

  1. Hierarchy

There are supposed to be just two layers of hierarchy in this project: project leader and project member.

  1. Action plan

Following the discussion of the above points, decisions should be made about how to improve relationships in the project.

Brainstorming

Think over the task and sound your decision, providing with effective arguments.

Trade delegation

The company you work for is considering whether to send a trade delegation to a country which is a potential new market.

You have been asked to help to plan the trip.

Discuss the situation together and decide:

– what the advantages and disadvantages of sending staff on the trip might be

– what kinds of information about doing business in the country the staff need to know before the trip

– what the company should achieve during the trip.
