Imagine you have been operating an American organization in the domestic arena for 10 years. You and your leadership team have decided to go international by opening a subsidiary branch abroad, and several staff members are interested in moving abroad to do so. You love the idea, so you put together a presentation for your leadership team about fundamental operational considerations for expanding the organization to a global market.
Create a presentation in which you do the following:
Propose an appropriate country in which to operate your subsidiary branch, and give your rationale for this choice.
Describe how your organization's service or product meets the need of your selected country and community.
Determine the qualifications required of expatriate manager(s) and staff for running your organization abroad.
Identify potential operational and behavioral challenges for your employees working within the host country and community.
Define standards of ethical behavior and social responsibility that on-site management must enforce, including a process for resolving issues when you, the CEO, are running the business from your domestic headquarters.
