This week’s discussion will focus on cultural decision-making using the case study “Brief Integrative Case 2.1: Coca-Cola in India” (p. 248) in International Management: Culture, Strategy, and Behavior.

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?

Be 3 to 4 pages in length and 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.

You should also find at least one video that describes design thinking and provide the link in your essay. Additionally, write about the importance of building the right organizational culture to support design thinking initiatives. Finally, comment on how Design Thinking could benefit your client. Please cite all resources at the end of your essay (not included in the word count). You may use the citation style of your choice.

Write a three page paper that discusses

1: your observations of institutional care for the mentally ill;

2) your reactions (thoughts and feelings that you had about your observations); and,

3) the research that you did about your observations. Should patients be cared for in long term psychiatric institutions, or should we work toward returning them to the community? Why, why not?

Regarding your research, you must locate two references that relate to the behaviors and person(s) that you observed; these sources must be an article (from a professional peer-reviewed journal), a professional book, or a government report or document. You can use assigned books and articles. Your research can cover a specific diagnosis or illness, theories of etiology, treatment models and programs, social issues (stigma, media coverage), demographic and cultural issues, or government/legal policies

• Explain the importance and usefulness of the data provided with respect to the health care facility in the scenario.

• Explain the impact of the data to the health care facility in the scenario.
• Explain the role of statistics and data analytics in the health care industry.
