Objectives
• Apply cultural models such as Hofstede to diagnose, understand and appreciate the impact of cultural differences on management processes.

• Appreciate the unique problems in human resource management faced by managers in alliance organizations.
Study the information in the case study carefully as cases do not always present information in simple ways. You would need to clarify your assumptions when you formulate your answers.
Present a critical analysis and do not merely repeat the information in the case. Avoid plagiarism by using the appropriate writing strategies <https://www.usq.edu.au/library/referencing/what-is-plagiarism/avoiding-plagiarism/writing-strategies >.
