Imagine the following situation: You are a top executive for a multinational hotel chain. The hotel, which has its main corporate headquarters in the United States, has a policy of delighting and surprising its guests by making them feel extremely welcome. Your hotel chain has a policy that the housekeepers will leave a yellow daffodil on each guest's bed while cleaning the rooms during the day. However, managers at the French and German branches of your hotels have objected to this policy. The French managers says that yellow has connotations of jealously, betrayal, weakness, and contradiction in France. In the 10th century, the French painted the doors of traitors and criminals yellow. The German managers say that yellow symbolizes jealousy in Germany. These managers from France and Germany would rather leave a different type of flower for their guests. 3C. How would you handle this situation if you were a geocentric manager (what would you tell the French and German managers to do)? As a geocentric manager, describe one tactic/strategy for determining whether the decision you made is a logical decision.
