【简介】
This team-building and familiarization activity can be used in the initial class or session of an international management program. It assesses one's exposure to the rest of the world's peoples. A series of worksheets require the respondents to check off the number and names of countries they have visited and the corresponding percentage of world population which each country represents. By summing a classes' collective exposure to the world's people, the result will inevitably be the recognition that together they have seen much, even if individually some have seen little. The teaching note provides assignments and discussion questions which look at: why there is such a high variability in individual profiles; the implications of each profile for one's business career; and, what it would take for the respondent to change his/her profile.
【学习目的】
This simple exercise was developed to make an important point -- most people have had much less direct exposure to the rest of the world's peoples than they previously thought. When coupled with the widely-held perception that exposure to other cultures makes one a better global manager, most respondents acknowledge that a change in their individual behavior is in order. The exercise was developed for use as an ice-breaker during the initial class/session of international management programs. It can be used for individual assessment, and/or for the development of a group measure. By summing a management groups' or class of students' collective exposure to the world's peoples, the result will inevitably be the recognition that together they know a lot. This can be a useful team-building and familiarization activity in an initial class. The intent of the exercise is not to embarrass or center out as inadequate those individuals with limited exposure. They may feel this way in any case so care must be taken to highlight those who have seen the most rather than the least.
