Question

my hometown is Dubai

One of the major dilemmas in global management concerns the degree to which a multinational firm should
adapt its business practices to particular locations and cultures versus the degree to which it should maintain
consistency across all its operations. In general, firms prefer consistency because it streamlines operations and
may result in global economies of scale. At the same time, multinational firms cannot gloss over differences
without running the risk of losing a particular market to more responsive (local) competition. In this exercise, you
will interpret your “hometown” culture for a large multinational company.
Suppose that a large multinational equipment company (based outside your country of origin) is planning to
open a major production facility and retail dealership in your hometown. This company has hired you as a
consultant to help them successfully establish operations in your hometown.

courtesy/customs, and attitudes toward “foreignness” and newcomers. Try as much as possible to capture
aspects of the location and culture of your hometown that would be important for newcomers to recognize and
respect.
