You have been appointed by Interpol - The International Criminal Police Organisation - to manage an international team to produce a high-level report on global efforts to address cyber-security and data security breaches. Experts joining the team are based in New Delhi, New York, Singapore, Sao Paolo and Dubai.

 

Required:

a) Given that each expert is from a different cultural background, and using your knowledge of cultural dimensions, how are you going to make this team work effectively when communication is exclusively online?

 

b) How would you ensure that each team member contributes effectively so as to avoid the possibility of "group think" emerging in the decision-making process?
