W2 Discussion “Local or Standard?”

Local or
Standard?

Companies
that move into a new country are often faced with a dilemma of adjusting to
local practices or enforcing the company’s standard practice. Not all companies
and not all countries will come up with the same solution.

• Initial post – research an
  ; ; ; ; international company that has faced such a dilemma. Document the dilemma
  ; ; ; ; and explain if they adjusted to local or used standard practices (yes, you
  ; ; ; ; have to take a stance!). Be sure to cite at least one internet reference
  ; ; ; ; for each company to help your peers respond.
• Reply to peers – Did your peer
  ; ; ; ; take a stance on the local vs. standard? Do you agree with them? Why or
  ; ; ; ; why not? What questions do you have for your peer about their observation?
  ; ; ; ; Use the company internet reference to consider in your reply.
