Context
During the latter part of the 20th century and continuing into the 21st century, one of the dominant themes in
business has been globalization. Advances in technology are undoubtedly a significant factor in enabling
globalization, such as the ability for business managers around the world to communicate instantly and
effectively using voice, text, and even video. The Internet and associated software and hardware have also had a
dramatic impact on that, allowing documents, databases, and a wide range of information to be shared without
concern for time or geographic boundaries. Capella courses are prominent examples of that, with faculty,
learners, and staff all involved in providing an efficient and effective learning environment spanning many

Certainly some would say globalization has provided many benefits to businesses and people interested in
obtaining associated products and services. But at the same time, globalization has created significant
controversies and challenges. For example, governments throughout the world are now finding it difficult to
define and interpret the modern business world as related to historical “made in X” (X being some country)
guidelines or laws. At the very least, such definitions are often lengthy and complex these days.
One of the most intriguing (and likely challenging) issues facing business at present is the topic of cross-cultural
differences related to globalization. What’s considered perfectly acceptable in one country might be considered
inappropriate or even illegal in a different country. And at a more subtle level, topics such as how managerial
decisions are discussed, negotiated, and approved within an international business environment can have
significant cultural dimensions. Some countries have a highly participative culture, where a fairly large group of
managers will be involved in considering some issue. Others might have a more centralized decision-making
culture, whereby the senior manager involved has the responsibility for making relevant decisions.
