That is a very interesting question. To a certain extent, it is not possible to keep a balance. (HR) Managers work with who fits the job best and we cannot recommend that personnel selection should (positively or negatively) discriminate people from one culture. The interesting bit is to negotiate the different interests (see Angelo's lecture in Week 5). Furthermore, it is advisable for the manager to set goals for the whole teams and to make the interdependencies clear. Transparent reward structures are fundamental. Very good question!]]> 2019-01-29 13:12:09 UTC https://padlet.com/d_unger/5vb00k70pxtn/wish/325357286
