Using the information contained in the Molinsky article in this week’s Resources, complete a 2 x 2 acculturation assessment framework. Consider your abilities when operating in a culture that is not your own but that is somewhat familiar. Complete your matrix using at least three different situations (you may use the ones in the article).

For this Discussion, describe the types of situations present in your Quadrant 4, and suggest activities that could help you feel more competent and authentic. Note: You do not need to post all of your work, only the results of Quadrant 4.

What are specific types of information that a manager would need to know when either managing or conducting business on a global level? What questions would be important to ask? How would you find out what you needed to know?
What cultural differences might you find within your own country or region?
Why is it important to be culturally aware when managing ethical dilemmas in a multicultural or global context?
Review the Introduction and Chapter 1 of your Essential Guide to Critical Reading and Writing, focusing on the skills that may be developed through critical thinking.

How could developing these skills help mitigate the risks of managing in a virtual environment? How could they be used in working with a diverse population?

Be sure to support your work with specific citations from this week’s resources and any additional sources.
