This week’s discussion will focus on cultural decision-making using the case study about Coca-Cola in India (p. 248). This case focuses on the cultural differences of the U.S. company Coca-Cola and the country of India. In this situation the people in the area around the Coca-Cola plant accused Coca-Cola of reducing the water levels and more importantly contaminating the water supply used for farming and personal consumption in their bottling process. After reflecting on this situation involving cultural differences as a leader how might MNEs demonstrate their commitment to working with different countries like Saudi Arabia and respecting the cultural and natural environments of the country?
What types of decisions would you need to make? Would there be bias in the decision-making process? Can you give an example? Embed course material concepts principles and theories which require supporting citations along with two scholarly peer-reviewed references supporting your answer. Keep in mind that these scholarly references can be found in the Saudi Digital Library by conducting an advanced search specific to scholarly references. Be sure to support your statements with logic and argument citing all sources referenced. Post your initial response early and check back often to continue the discussion. Be sure to respond to your peers’ posts as well. You are required to reply to at least two peer discussion question post answers to this weekly discussion question and/or your instructor’s response to your posting. These post replies need to be substantial and constructive in nature. They should add to the content of the post and evaluate/analyze that post answer. Normal course dialogue doesn’t fulfill these two peer replies but is expected throughout the course. Answering all course questions is also required.
