Assignment 1: LASA 2 – Developing and Managing Multi-Cultural Teams

As the diversity manager of a global company, you have developed a deep appreciation for the importance of understanding multi-cultural teams in the workplace. However, you know that some of the managers struggle with developing and managing multicultural teams in your company. There seems to be a need for company-wide information and training on the topic of â€œDeveloping and Managing Multi-Cultural Teams.”

You decide to prepare a training handout for the next managers’ meeting, that emphasizes the following points:

• Dimensions of a multi-cultural team
• Discrimination laws and their impact on managing a multi-cultural team
• Affirmative action programs and their impact on managing a multi-cultural team
• Building an inclusive culture within the team
• Challenges of managing a multi-cultural team
• Recommendations for improving communications within a multi-cultural team
• Modeling and leading diversity acceptance and change

Prepare a six to eight-page Word document as a training handout for managers, addressing each of the points listed.  Include an executive summary and conclude by summarizing your handout by describing three important concepts you learned while researching this topic.

Use at least three resources in addition to your textbook to justify your responses. Apply current APA standards for writing style to your work.

To complete this assignment, submit an individual essay. 

Essays are generally two-three single spaced paragraphs. 

TALK ABOUT YOUR THOUGHTS ON CASE STUDY READ BELOW FOR GUIDANCE:

services, but have two very different organizational structures and cultures. Note, one 

video has been provided here, there are many more on youtube as well as a number of 

articles you can find via additional research. 

 

 

1. Discuss the layers of culture that are evident in this case. 

 

 

2. What are the similarities and dissimilarities between the cultures, values and beliefs 

of Southwest and AirTran airlines? 

 

 

3. What problems could arise due to the different perspectives of both airlines towards 

online reservation systems? What do you recommend the managers do to solve these 

problems? 

 

 

4. What would you recommend managers do to ensure a smooth integration of the 

information systems, given the culture differences?
