Avoiding Culture Shock
You are very aware that fitting in and acclimating to a culture are critical to job success and satisfaction. In contrast, slow assimilation and "culture shock" are associated with slow advancement and derailed careers. You are the manager of an exciting new international branch of your firm in Seoul, South Korea. Given that you want your new people to assimilate quickly, get a fast start in their jobs, and jump-start their careers in the firm, what general strategies and specific actions will you take? Failures in this type of situation are very common, so where do you suspect most managers go wrong? Be specific in isolating a couple of the most important "must dos" and a couple of the taboos or "don't dos."
