Discussion 2: Conflict in a Multinational Organization<\/p>\n
Culture, ethics, and compliance are critical parts of today\u2019s management and leadership practices. Maintaining a strict code of conduct and compliance polices can go a long way in helping to prevent conflict between international organizations and their employees. However, sometimes an employee\u2019s customs and culture can create unintentional conflict between departments and organizations.<\/p>\n
Below you will find two different scenarios that involve conflicts within a multinational organization. Choosing one scenario, discuss how the conflict might be resolved, and assess the role of the manager or leader in resolving the international conflicts.<\/p>\n
Scenario 1<\/p>\n
You are the department manager for a team that is located within the United States and Japan. Your team members work together on several different projects, and they often provide product demonstrations for various clients. Today, you have decided to sit in on a product demonstration led by June, a young female employee from the United States, and Haru, a middle-aged male employee from Japan. During the demonstration, you notice there seems to be a conflict between Haru and June, which is affecting the demonstration. June is trying to discuss her experience with the product and answer questions raised by the client. However, Haru seems to be upset by June\u2019s discussion, and he keeps interrupting her.<\/p>\n
Scenario 2<\/p>\n
You are tasked with opening a new office located in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria. You meet with the local manager and are told that there is a problem. The building inspectors are running 3\u20136 months behind and your move-in date will be delayed until the office can be inspected. However, the manager suggest that the inspection could be expedited if the inspector was given a generous donation. When you protest, the manager explains that donations are the way business is done here. If you pay, you could move in, as scheduled around the first of the month. Otherwise, you will have to go back to the United States and plan to return in about six months, just to be safe.<\/p>\n
