1.The case study "Managing a Global Team" involves Sun Microsystems, a technology company acquired by Oracle in 2010but the challenges and opportunities raised by the case, remain relevant (and perhaps painfully familiar!) for today.

Assume you are a team of external advisors, whom Greg James, the central character in the case, has hired to develop a plan for getting his team back on track. With your study group, please prepare 1) a brief but clear and actionable diagnosis/framing of the current situation and what has happened (remember, the presentation is being given to Jamesand hes familiar with the case!), and 2) a prioritized set of recommendations for James to get his team back on track. I think one of the problem with James is lack of trust. James has broken trust between his employees around the globe due to the following problems, how can he fix this problems and built his trust.

  1. Mis-programmed que
  2. Inconvenient meeting times and long work days
  3. Perceived favoritism toward US team members
  4. Insufficient cross-cultural understanding
  5. Dissatisfaction with open work policy
  6. Dissatisfaction with pay and vacation policies
  7. Hasty hiring

What are the best recommendations I should give James? Any help be appreciated!

Thank you
