Chapter 19

5. It is said one of the biggest mistakes a company can make when attempting the global market is not hiring locally when making the move. What are some ideas you
think would help build a culture that demonstrates togetherness with locals joining the organization and members already within the organization either training them
or expatriates? If not your own idea, do you know of an organization who has done well providing this and what did they do?

Chapter 20

6. Technology is always advancing, so I would like to hear about any new technology you have read about and think would be useful for recruiting or performance
management, or changes you’d like to make in your own organization’s technology for these purposes.
For instance, there is Switch, which is an app used for recruiting that is similar to Tinder, and it helps candidates find jobs. There is also FirstJob, a chatbot that
eliminates 75% of questions during recruitment process.

Chapter 21

7. What is/are the most daunting strategic planning options you think you would face attempting to go global? Is there an area you’d most like to personally help
develop?
