Discuss, and analyze information on an intended or a possible future global career placement of your choosing. You will conduct a brief
environmental scan (i.e., gathering a minimum of 7 sources) on a particular international or global organization of your choosing, and your response to the questions below should reflect the cultural context within which this global organization operates. As a part of your report, you will research and analyze the (inter)cultural aspects of a specific position or work experience that you are interested in.
NOTE: you should not attempt to define all aspects of an international or a global organization. Rather, you should clearly define and communicate (e.g., within question 1) the limitations, parameters, and specific context of the position for which you are gathering information. You are encouraged to be creative in your data gathering strategies; for instance, in addition to
printed materials, you may gather data from online sources (e.g., journals, newsletters, websites,
videos, social media, etc.).
This assignment should be written as one essay which responds to ALL of the seven questions. For
each question, make sure you provide an explanation and rationale that supports and demonstrates
your analysis.
Also, remember to provide a cover page, an introduction paragraph that frames your responses, and a
conclusion paragraph that synthesizes and summarizes your analysis.
Questions (note: suggested response length is one to one-and-a-half pages per question):
- What global organizational context and position are you researching? Why?
- What sources of information are available from your research? Which are the most valuable to
you, and why? - What do your sources outline (i.e., what did you learn from your research)? What do they miss
(i.e., what questions are you left with)? How mig
