Quiz zum Vortrag
Define the global village.
- It describes our modern world in which distances are diminishing, networking is growing fast and internationality is becoming more and more understood and common.
- The whole world is being closely connected by modern telecommunications and becoming interdependent economically, socially, and politically.
- It describes our modern world which does not contain endless cultures but in which all cultures form one culture due to the close connection via modern technology.
- It is a synonym for our world as it was a thousand years ago.
We can identify opportunities and dangers in international projects ....
- not as good as for projects in our home countries, since we are not as familiar with them and we are often not able to identify the indicators for risks.
- as good as in projects in our home country.
- much easier since they stand out more in an unfamiliar context.
- not as good, but since projects are pretty similar it is negligible.
What is different or unfamiliar in international projects?
- Big differences may occur in e.g. legal system, culture, language, mentality, import and export regulations.
- Mostly only the language or the currency, sometimes we have to get used to left-hand traffic.
- Sometimes we cannot read the foreign characters on street signs.
- Foreign countries are just further away. Therefore, one just has to take care about the various time zones.
Why should you prepare thoroughly before you start an international project?
- Because international projects are similar to adventure trips. Before going on an adventure trip you would prepare yourself and not blindly start something unknown and strange.
- Because the danger of wrong decisions is greater. Unknown or foreign situations may lead to misunderstandings, misinterpretation or incorrect/bad decisions.
- Because wrong decisions are often very expensive and in most cases take up a lot of time and money and imply the risk of not being able to keep the deadlines.
- Because you want to make a good impression on your boss in order to increase the possibility of a pay rise.
- You do not need to prepare thoroughly before you start an international project as long as you have somebody with you who is aware of the differences of the foreign and your own culture.
Why are the implications of misunderstandings much graver internationally?
- Great distances mean more travel or shipping time which equals to higher financial efforts.
- Entry visa permits are often required and at times a translator or middlemen is inevitable.
- Emergencies cause stress and hectic and mess up schedules.
- Unscheduled purchases of goods or services are often more expensive and lead to higher effort in sourcing.
- They are not much graver than nationally because the costs are the same.
When is the best time to solve a problem?
- Before it is onset.
- When it is urgent.
- Just when problems accumulate and turn into a crisis.
- It is best to ignore problems and wait till they are over.
Why should you perform risk management during the quoting stage?
- To avoid or at least reduce ill surprises during the course of project
- To avoid wrong decisions which can be very expensive, cause tress and require additional of the already scarce resources
- To prove to your employees and your boss that you are trustworthy
- To avoid misguidance by wrong assumptions about a foreign culture by your employees
