My ratings suggest that I would do best in a workplace culture that is responsive corporate. Being
flexible, innovative, and customer-focused are valued in this kind of culture. Employees that work
in an environment that is responsive are encouraged to be adaptable and quick to adapt to changing
conditions, consumer demands, and market trends. This setting encourages innovation, teamwork,
and a willingness to try out new concepts and methods.
Responsive culture puts shareholders first, both internally and externally, and tries to strengthen
relationships with clients, partners, and peers. Communicate openly and honestly, so that
information flows quickly and decisions are made quickly.
As someone who thrives in a responsive culture, I will most likely thrive in dynamic surroundings
where you can provide new solutions, interact directly with clients, and effectively cooperate with
your team. You value the ability to continually learn and develop, and to adjust to new
opportunities and problems as they present themselves. All in all, a responsive culture provides
you with the agility and support you need to succeed in today’s rapidly changing business
environment.

Chapter 6:
3 - What skills and knowledge do managers need to manage globally?
Being able to navigate a range of cultural, social, and economic situations requires a special set of
talents and knowledge that are necessary for managing a global organization. Managers operating
in a global context require a diverse set of skills and knowledge to effectively navigate the
complexities of international business environments. Firstly, cultural competence is crucial, as
managers must understand and respect diverse cultural norms, values, and communication styles to
build productive relationships with stakeholders from different backgrounds. Additionally, language
proficiency or familiarity with multiple languages can facilitate communication and collaboration
across borders.

Managers also need strong leadership and interpersonal skills to inspire and motivate multicultural
teams, resolve conflicts, and foster a collaborative work environment. Strategic thinking and
adaptability are essential for formulating global business strategies that align with market
dynamics, regulatory requirements, and geopolitical factors in various regions. Moreover, cross-
cultural negotiation and diplomacy skills are valuable for navigating international partnerships,
alliances, and negotiations effectively.

Furthermore, a solid understanding of global economics, trade policies, and international business
laws is essential for managing cross-border transactions, mitigating risks, and ensuring compliance
with regulatory frameworks. Finally, technological literacy and digital fluency are increasingly
important in today's globalized business landscape, as managers leverage technology for
communication, data analysis, market research, and innovation on a global scale. Overall, managers
need a combination of cultural awareness, leadership abilities, strategic acumen, and technical skills
to thrive in global management roles.
