Research Assignment – Leading Internationally
The purpose of this assignment is to help you see that one’s leadership style and effectiveness is culturally dependent.
Assignment Overview – Assume that you are being sent to China to run a division of your company’s overseas operations. Let’s assume that you were born and raised in the States and you have been managing for five years in your current position at a facility in the Midwest. Now that you are going overseas you want to understand what the Chinese workers look for in a leader and what it will take to be a successful leader in China.
I would like you to report on what it would take for you to be a successful manager in China. You need a personal action plan to submit to your manager. You should write a briefing paper that identifies specifically:
• What do Chinese workers expect from their leaders? What are some practical strategies that you will use when embracing this assignment to be successful?
• What business or cultural norms would you have to be aware of to lead successfully in this new environment?
I do NOT want a paper that lists the history of China or philosophy about what someone “should do or might consider”. I am looking for an ACTION PLAN from you in a research paper. What is it YOU will do?
