Overall Feedback from Research Paper, Part I
Some suggestions: I liked the use of SWOT to assess the cross-cultural readiness of Starbucks. In section IV consider adding subcategories identifying specific cross-cultural actions to be taken, e.g., training on language and meaning, conducting social interactions, understanding culture-specific beliefs and values, etc. In addition, there should be some type of control step or feedback loop on the recommendations, i.e., assessing effectiveness, etc. Which criteria could be used? Also, references should be mapped to sections of the outline. Good first cut at the outline! |
