Students break into groups of five. One student roleplays a consultant who is conducting an exercise to uncover possible problems in uniform application of the company’s current policy. Each of the other four students takes the role of advocate for one of the four international locations. Each advocate should make an argument for or against keeping specific parts of East’s existing HR policies. Students form groups of four students, with each group acting as the advocate for one of the four international locations. After deciding which policies to keep and which to change, a representative from each group presents the group’s recommendations to the class. After these brief presentations, the class discusses the costs and benefits of culture-specific HR policies.
