Assignment Question

Instructions Assignment 3: Cross-Cultural Project Presentation The purpose of this assignment is to learn to assess the role of cultural contexts when implementing change. Your task is to develop a plan for leading a change project in a foreign country. You can choose the topic of the change (e.g., merger, inclusion, sustainability, new software, office redesign, etc.) In addition to the national culture, you will need to consider the role of other relevant cultural contexts (e.g., sector/industry, organization, profession, group) and consider their impact on your project. In order to develop the change plan, you need to do research on your assigned country and industry/sector/organization as well as your change topic. You will also need to integrate course literature and concepts to identify appropriate issues and steps for your plan. Your presentation should be 10 slides and adhere to the standards of APA. Presentation should includes a minimum of 10 peer-reviewed references from the course and other literature. The presentation should include the following: An introduction that describes the project focus and its context (country, sector, industry, organization, target group, etc.) An analysis of the national and other relevant cultural contexts A description of issues related to the topic of change A plan for the change project A conclusion that summarizes key issues related to the project implementation.

Country for this project: The Netherlands Company: Booking.com Premise for presentation: Booking.com has built a very large campus in Amsterdam, the home of it’s headquarters. A campus that big has to have impact on the location it’s in. While they bring the country a lot of money, “Booking.com’s headquarters in Amsterdam accounts for 57% of the estimated societal value creation.” Yes it brings a lot of money & jobs but Netherlands is small so how does it impact the people who are from there? With so many expats utilizing housing and transportation, because most people use public transport,etc. So my question is “what is the downside or disruption this causes for the Netherlands?” and I would like the presentation to propose a change to address or eliminate the discovered downsides. Booking.com has a hybrid model for work, so for best jobs at HQ you have to move to Amsterdam. Especially engineers, product owners etc. Perhaps the plan/change is to make the option of fully remote for employees in other countries to continue to bring money into the Netherlands but stop bringing so many expats in that has negative impacts on housing & transportation, etc.
