This company wants to pursue a broad cost leader strategy. From last year's reports, which company would be the strongest competitor? Select : 1 Submit Answer Andrews Baldwin Chester Digby One of your colleagues spends a great deal of time planning her interactions with people from different cultural backgrounds. Before she talks with people from a different culture, she researches their culture, tries to understand how it's both similar and different from her own, and then tries to put herself "in their shoes" by testing how different statements might make her feel if she were from their culture. Which of the following views is MOST ACCURATE about her behavior with respect to being culturally competent? Select: 1 Submit Answer Although admirable, the most culturally competent people are authentic and her behavior is political in nature - it would be better if she just tried to be herself. This type of cultural learning, although requiring a lot of effort, is essential to be the most effective you can be when talking with others from different cultures. She is missing the most important aspect of cultural competence, learning the language of the other culture. She should probably spend the most time on learning about the other culture rather than comparing it to her own because this distracts from the real issues at hand. One of your teammates, Laura, is having difficulty accomplishing her assigned tasks. Which of the following actions would be most effective? Select : 1 Submit Answer Ask Laura why she is struggling to accomplish her tasks. Ask if your team leader can delay the next deadline to give more time for Laura to finish. Ask Laura if there are tasks that you can help her finish. Ask Laura to speak to the leader so that everyone knows about the potential delay. It's been six months since you began your role as a regional sales manager. Your territory includes the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, making it highly culturally diverse. You feel like you are doing fairly well, but still feel somewhat uncomfortable when coaching sales people from Mexico. In fact, a recent meeting with a Mexican sales rep did not go well. You tried to motivate him but he just became very defensive and you're not sure if he reacted that way because of the negative performance feedback, because you violated some cultural norm, or potentially, both. You spoke with another manager in Mexico who assured you that you were culturally sensitive in your feedback delivery. Which of the following would be LEAST helpful in continuing to develop your cross-cultural skills in delivering performance feedback? Select : 1 Submit Answer Deliver performance feedback to sales reps in a written format. Increase your confidence through practice by coaching Mexican sales reps and then by seeking feedback on your approach. Differentiate between what you say and how you say it. Gather feedback from other managers in Mexico about how you deliver performance feedback to sales reps.
