This chapter’s “Understand Yourself Feature” gave you the opportunity to evaluate your global perspective. Global perspective is characterized by high levels of both conceptualizations, or the ability to think globally, and contextualization, or the ability to act locally and adapt to the local environment. Although both thinking globally and acting locally are important to managers, most managers are more adept at thinking globally than at acting locally because of the uniqueness of local cultures. Reflect on the nature of some of the interactions that you have had with people from other cultures. These interactions could have been in person during class, at a store, or even over the phone with a customer service agent. Next, answer the following questions: Do you think that you were equally able to think and act locally as you interacted with people from other cultures? What did you do well, and what could you have done better in these interactions? What multicultural experiences can you seek out to enhance your global perspective? Requirements: There is no minimum or maximum required number of pages. Your analysis will be considered complete, if it addresses each of the 3 components outlined above. Use of proper APA formatting and citations. If supporting evidence from outside resources is used those must be properly cited. A minimum of 3-5 sources (excluding the course textbook) from scholarly articles or business periodicals is required. Include your best critical thinking and analysis to arrive at your justification. 3 PAGES 3 SOURCES
