Your company has merged with another company that has a global presence. They have offices in your location, other states, as well as in many other countries. This influx of new employees has expanded the size of your development team in your local office as well as added employees in New York, California, India, Germany, Russia, and the United Kingdom.

Your boss has picked you to be an agent of change in the company! You have been asked to determine the best way to integrate all the new employees into your team. How will you go about doing that? What are some of the benefits of a multicultural team? What are some of the challenges that a multicultural team can bring? Are these benefits and challenges only with the employees located in locations in different countries? Once you have researched this, your boss will have you present your research and recommendations as a shining example of how to bring a global team together.
