INT 220 Module Six Assignment International
Team Expectations Assignment Guidelines
and Rubric
Overview
Managing an international team will present unexpected challenges. You are in different time
zones; you have different schedules; you come from different cultures; and your own
communication style may be different from that of members of your team. Success of a
geographically distributed team can be fostered by setting expectations that are informed by best
practices and the cultures of your team members.
Scenario
Your company is expanding into a new market and has formed a new team that it would like you to
manage. Your manager has sent you this note:
Thank you for taking on this challenge. You have a great team, but they come from very
diverse backgrounds. It’ll be up to you to make sure it is a cohesive team that communicates
well and collaborates effectively. As you know, at our firm, we feel the management of our
teams and human resource management are a strategic advantage for us. I would like you to
write an email explaining to me what managerial approaches you will use and how you think
your team will function together. Please also include your conference call invitation for your
team’s introduction. I would like to review what you are going to send to your team.
Prompt
For this assignment, you will write an email and introductory conference call invitation as
requested by your manager.
Team Member Locations
Your team consists of the following four members from various locations across the globe:
1. Kaspar was born in and is based in the country you choose for your course project.
2. Kelly was born in and is based in the United States.
3. Syed was born in and is based in the United Arab Emirates.
4. Nina was born in and is based in Chile.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Write an email to your manager explaining how you plan to manage your team. It should
include the following information:
Cultural considerations for each team member (For the purposes of this assignment, you
can assume that each team member represents the average cultural dimensions of an
average citizen of the country, and you are encouraged to use the Hofstede Insights:
Compare Countries website.)
Common issues among diverse or global teams and potential conflicts that could occur in
your team
Multiple management approaches you plan to use and why
A policy for selecting which holidays team members can take off that takes into account
cultural considerations
A determination of whether your team will collaboratively create a team expectations and
communication plan or whether you as the manager will do it on your own, explaining your
decision
Create a conference call invitation, including the time of the meeting and agenda, using this
Conference Call Invitation Template.
What to Submit
Submit your email as a 200- to 350-word Microsoft Word document. Submit your conference call
invitation by completing the Conference Call Invitation Template. Sources should be cited
according to APA style.
