The Cross-Cultural Conference Room program provides unique and timely insight into the global business world. The program demonstrates how teams of experienced managers from the United States, South America, and Japan, all working for the same multi-national company, attempt to solve a product failure dilemma.
At first, each work team tries to reach agreement on the best course of action. However, because of the great disparity in their decisions, two of the teams come together to reach a final recommendation. The non-scripted deliberations bring out striking ethical and cultural differences in decision-making, teamwork, and management styles. By viewing how the management teams discussed the same problem, and came to sharply different conclusions, you will observe cultural differences that are rarely recognized and seldom understood.
One of the beauties of this exceptional program is that it is designed to be used with or without an on-site trainer, with or without your participants coming together as a group, and with or without individualized (at-home) learning modules. This means you may mix or match any of the program's components to meet your needs.
The package includes one resource guide, business case study, videotape, DVD, and CD-ROM. The CD-ROM, which can be used by individuals as a self-directed learning and/or in a group setting, outlines fundamental concepts in intercultural relations and explains the dynamics of the management team's deliberations through exercises, text, animation, and video.

Using colored beads to represent different races, genders, and religious groups, participants respond to a series of 33 questions in order to create visuals of their background and the choices they have made in their lives.

Global Beads Learning Outcomes:
Create a visual representation of socialization
Understand how individual socialization affects interactions
Learn how make deliberate attempts at building relationships with different groups
Increased familiarity, comfort, and trust between people of different backgrounds
