Answer the case following the pattern: Summary, Issues, Recommendation. In the recommendation, in addition to your suggestions to the issue, please specify what might have the new manager done that improved their transnational businesses. Summary: 6-8 sentences, Issue: 4-6 sentences, Recommendation: 6-8 sentences.) {{ "The Finnish Company ordered clothes from Italy in their strict deadlines, ordering dates and expectations that the goods will be delivered on time. The manager told to two of our employees to make sure that the orders are done and delivered. The employees contacted the persons in Italy made order and agreed on the deadlines, due dates of the payments and delivery dates. Everything went well. But when the delivery date came, no goods were delivered or even sent from Italy yet, even we in Finland already had promised the goods to be in the boutique for customers. The manager in Finland blamed the two employees for not doing their task well and contacted the people in Italy. The same chain of events happened often always, delay from the deadline, phone meetings were late, and if there was a meeting organized in Italy or Finland, it didnt go well. Our Finnish manager wanted to go straight to Business and talk about the orders when the Italians wanted to have a dinner and take the time for get together first. Our manager explained to his employees how rude the Italians were because they came physically very close in the meetings and didnt stick to the point, and was overwhelmed even from his employees that why the wanted to continue the meeting. All in the entire situation was chaotic and the cultural differences were too much for our Finnish manager. He had been used to do business only in Finland before and didnt have a clue how different the business between two different countries can be. This situation kept on going because the Finnish manager didnt want to change his habits and the Italians didnt even know that something was wrong. When I started my job in this company the situation was very bad, and in the end, our manager quit his job. We got a new manager, and after that everything started to go well and the connections and communications between our employees in Italy and Finland were good."
