How does a country's "business and society" relationship affect the outcome of situations like the GM plant closure? The work of Hofstede and Robert House helps us understand cultural values so that we can better learn how people work, act, and make decisions. What are some of the cultural values of the characters in this case study, who grew up in Wisconsin, that would help GM global management understand and support their employees through a plant closure? Thinking about corporate social responsibility, what else should GM have done in stakeholder management in relation to their employees and in the communities they served? Research where else in the world GM operates/sources from, then pick an area to focus on. Discuss how GM should move forward with respect to future development, employment/managing their human resources, and managing community partnerships. Explain how a plant closure would be handled differently there and why. Be as specific as possible, including CSR, ethics, cultural considerations, stakeholder management, and decision making
