\n <\/p>\n
Mark Jones, a Production Manager, has been transferred from the manufacturing plant in his hometown of Chicago to his company\u2019s overseas manufacturing plant in Osaka, Japan.<\/p>\n
You are the company\u2019s I-O psychologist. Using Hofstede\u2019s Five Basic Elements of Culture Distinction, write an e-mail message to the Vice President (VP) of Production discussing at least three cultural differences that Mark will experience in managing front-line plant workers in Japan in contrast to in the United States. Also address how cultural differences may play a role in individual differences Mark will experience.<\/p>\n
Your e-mail message should also include at least three recommendations on how managers can take up overseas tasks with minimum transition problems. State the rationale for your recommendations.<\/p>\n
Because the VP of Production is a busy individual, restrict your e-mail message to one to two pages. Type the e-mail message in Microsoft Word.<\/p>\n
Where appropriate use structured text\u2014bold format, headings, bulleted lists, and graphics\u2014to clarify your meaning and to make your document easier to read. Remember texting language will not be acceptable.<\/p>\n
