Feb. 2nd

This class and its contect has really opened my eyes to global business and relationships as a whole. I never realized how in depth a subject like global leadership could be. Working with a global company I see the challenges that are faced day in and day out. My company did not go global until recently, they face the challenges of integrating their company procedures internationally. The one thing that we struggle with on a daily basis is that of cultural sensitivity. We are a US based company and expect that all other countrie in which we have set up facilities will assimilate to our culture. Obviously this has not worked and instead has created more of a divide int he company. Currently we are looking at these issues and how to change...more to come when the decisions are made.

This class has allowed me to play an integral role in these conversation to create much needed change throughout the company. Recognizing and understanding is where we currently are with our company...make large strides towards change.
