From my Principles of Management textbook end-of-chapter assignment:

What challenges might confront a Mexicon manager transferred to the United States to manage a manufacturing plant in Tucson, Arizona? Will these be the same for a U.S. manager transferred to Guadalajara? Explain.

Yep, X-15 smarted off and told the truth!! I'll know next week how much red ink I received for not being culturally sensitive ;-)

The question was a test of your ability to negotiate a legal minefield, a necessary talent for mgmt. personnel.

But, if you had to "let 'em know" that feeling superior to Chicanos is a necessary component of your ego self portrait, then you did the company a favor by helping them weed you out of consideration for promotion.

Suppose it was your company and you wanted to make those changes, and you needed to address the potential problems in PC language and corporate legalisms?

That's a different answer and quite a challenge for an intelligent survivor.

Actually, I shared an office with a Mexican company from 1996-1998 and my manager went down to Guadalajara to visit that companies headquarters. I just stated exactly what I observed the Mexican managers doing and what my manager saw in Mexico. It won't go over well, but it's the truth and I'll stand by it; my former manager said he'd back up my answer if needed ;-). It'll be interesting to see how it goes down, I'm prepared to contest any negative grading. Aye carrumba!!!

Who wants to live like that?
