Through globalization, a country obtains the opportunity to have a diversity of cultures. ““In a flat world, where value is increasingly created, and complex problems solve, by whom you connect with horizontally, having a high trust society is even more of an advantage. ‘Having an abundance of trust is essential in a world of collaboration’ added Seidman, ‘because the more people trust each other, or their leaders, the more likely they are going to work well together’” (Friedman, The World Is Flat: A Brief History of The Twenty-First Century 334-335). Friedman emphasizes the idea that collaborating with each other creates an environment of trust, an environment of connections that become helpful when adversities are shown in a country’s path. Additionally, Friedman brings the fact that the world has become a tiny world. “And while the dynamic force in Globalization 1.0 was countries globalizing and the dynamic force in Globalization 2.0 was companies globalizing, the dynamic force in Globalization 3.0—the force that gives it its unique character—is the newfound power for individuals to collaborate and compete globally” (Friedman, The World Is Flat: A Brief History of The Twenty-First Century 10). Friedman highlights the idea that the world went from “size large” to “tiny” meaning that not only trade opens the door to foreign communication, but technology and immigration as well. Through

Q methodology identify four distinct views of best practice from those who had taken part in ten participatory processes, who differed over how to tackle issues of power and trust, and the role of strong leadership/direction and scientific information. However, such views are not contradiction. (Webler and Tuler, 2006 )

            In the past it had been the common conception that businesses fundamentally rely upon, and in turn effect their economic capital, which is represented in the form of stockholders. The rise to prominence of stakeholders (through studies and reports) has allowed firms to realize that there are people and infrastructure beyond the company which are necessary to it and who must have their interests protected. An organization’s stakeholders are all parties who can reasonably be understood to be affected by its decisions. They can be deemed to represent the businesses ' social and environmental capital as well as economic. Stakeholders can be of very different and varied guises and also harbor conflicting interests. In the main they can be categorized into three major groups: Internal, Connected and External Stakeholders.

A dilemma in today’s society is how certain individuals, lawyers, defend guilty criminals. In each law case, there is a lawyer who is defending a guilty client. Ethically, most individuals in everyday society would agree that guilty parties should end up in prison; however, it is the lawyer’s job to defend that party, guilty or not, and keep them out of prison.

A stake holder, in general is defined as an individual or organization likely affected by the performance of an organization. In “The stakeholder theory of the corporation: Concepts, evidence, and implications” by Thomas Donaldson , he quotes Stanford research institution and calls stake holders “those groups without whose support the organization would cease to exist.”

A great deal of research and reporting has gone into the emerging international movement known as globalization and the business ramifications of globalization has been reviewed and analyzed as the main focus of globalization. But management's pivotal need to develop smart strategies for the cross-cultural relationships that are inevitable vis-à-vis globalization has perhaps not been sufficiently explored in the literature. This paper focuses on how corporations, businesses and other organizations are going about or should be going about the correct approach to cross-cultural understanding and cooperation when it comes to globalization. A portion of this paper also will serve as a design using best practices in terms of meeting the challenges that globalization presents vis-à-vis cultural diversity.

Stakeholder analysis is an integral part of what determines a business’ success. Within every business, there are various stakeholder groups that have individual specific needs. Each stakeholder group has to be consistently considered by the company when it makes decisions. Over the course of five weeks, students made decisions to help guide K-Tai, Inc. with its stakeholder analysis and corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts. Several conflicting decisions were considered and a thorough analysis helped the CREO office come up with the best possible solutions to the company’s problems. The CSR simulation was an excellent tool to help students understand the importance of ethics in business and how to address the common issues that businesses face in today’s society.

As trade increases hyper-competition grows forcing organizations to go global. By a company going global it requires them to rethink strategy and reform (Ananthram and Pearson, 2008). Global organizational structure is the way a company aims to merge local preferences with global strategy. The definition of global strategy is “strategic choices that have the characteristics of being globally uniform or integrated,” (Yip et al., 1997) such as standardization of products, uniform marketing, and competitive moves, but all globally (Townsend et al., 2004; Zou and Cavusgil, 2002; Bayraktar and Ndubisi, 2014). Global strategic strategy is a way to adjust to globalization. Globalization is “the economic and social process by which economies and communities grow inextricably interdependent “(Jhirad et al., 2009). The recent financial crisis (Das, 2010), large amount of poverty, and climate change are all problems that show how the world is globally connected because all countries impact each other (Jhirad et al., 2009).
