Question

Based on the location the GoTo Consulting group identified a few weeks back, provide a breakdown of the cultural considerations the new director will need to take into account when relocating and bringing on a staff made up of local nationals Should the director consider sourcing leaders from other divisions and taking them to the new location or focus on hiring local nationals as line managers, shift supervisors, and senior leaders Based on best practices and analysis of current cosmetic companies, how would the director best structure the team. Indicate how senior leadership will be divided (i.e. Assistant Division Director (ADD) of Operations, ADD Finance, ADD Marketing, ADD Sales, etc.) as well as the structure below them. Consider how Operations is divided. There will be Procurement of materials; manufacturing, distribution, etc. Finance will have to consider the different accounting processes such as Accounts Receivable, Accounts payable, and others. Marketing will focus on U.S. based marketing and global marketing and sales will need the same type of considerations. Don’t just use these exact examples, but use theses as a starting point and guide for your research. Each group member shall deliver a two to three paragraph summary for the results of their investigation.

Explanation / Answer

As per my opinion the Director should focus on bringing a balance between the Leaders from various divisions and the local nationals so that they could find the best mix of people for their organisation. The main reason for this mix is that the leader will bring in the essence of the organisation, the mission and vision of the organisation, the working culture of the organisation and targets of the organisation, where as a local assistants will bring in the understanding of the manpower of the area, they know the mindset and behaviours or the local people and thus can give ways to tackle any situation. A mid-way between the organisation and it's employees, can create the harmony for any business.

The senior managers should be the leaders from the organisation itself, but the team below them should consist of the local employees, as they know their land well and the senior manager will make them understand the organisation well. ADD of Operations should be located at the manufacturer or production sure if the organisation and should have a mixed team of people from the headquartered country and local country so that there is balance in working. A company manufactures in another country because, the labor is cheaper there and the cost of operation is cheaper there, so the leaders from local teams are required. ADD of Accounts can be place in the headquarters as they particularly need to stick to the companies structure of payments and receivables, they can have more of their nationals in their team...and few can be from other cultures to communicate in a better way. ADD of marketing has a really complex way of working, they need to understand the pyscological factors of all the countries they are operating in the world and then formulate policies suiting those countries to get the best sales for the region, So the ADD of Marketing needs have a knowledge of a various cultures, and should have a team of the similar pattern.

In simple words a company with global business will need a people with global people from global cultures.
