Question: As the owner of a U.S. based coffee distributor, you have recently acquired a competing coffee processing facility based in Norway. There is a very small existing staff, but you need to expand operation rapidly, which will require hiring more employees.

Describe how differences in the legal requirements and cultural norms in Norway would factor into your recommendation for a staffing policy.

Summarize your final staffing approach recommendation to your management team. Include support to detail why this approach is most appropriate in Norway.
