1. In Spain, find and name one company from that country that advertises itself as being ethical/socially responsible. What exactly is this company doing to try to be ethical/socially responsible? Comment on whether you think they are doing this as a means towards an end (of profit) or as an end unto itself (i.e. they are doing this ethical thing because they are just indeed an honest company, and not for a profit motive). What makes you say so?
2. If an American organization is entirely new to internationalization, what approach towards culture (of the host country) is this company MOST likely to take in a new subsidiary: ignoring, minimizing, or utilizing the host country's culture? Briefly explain why and also list at least one advantage and one disadvantage of using that approach.
3. In Spain, discuss (and explain why) in (200 characters) what conflict management style is most likely going to be used amongst team members comprised of people from (only) that country. (e.g.: if your country was Japan, a team of Japanese employees are most likely to use the compromising style of conflict because blah blah blah.)
4. Pick any 2 or 3 of the different spheres of identity and describe why YOUR identity in that sphere might make it challenging for you to be an effective international manager in Spain.
