We now live and work in a global economy. Planning expansion into new markets in foreign countries is now standard business practice.

THE PROMPT

You have decided to start a coffee processing plant in Indonesia. As you begin laying the groundwork for the plant, you study the Indonesian cultural environment. As you do so, you learn that Indonesia is a far more collectivist society than the United States.

1. How might this collectivist culture affect the sort of management techniques you practice in this new plant? 
2. What might you reasonably expect from your Indonesian workers? 
3. What might you NOT be able to expect? 
4. What could they reasonably expect from you?
