Remaining competitive in a global economy frequently means moving from a national to a transnational organization. Developing teams that cross national boundaries is becoming a strategic business need.

Address the issues associated with having a transnational team with members who reside in multiple countries.

Respond to the following questions:

• How would you determine team composition in a multinational team?
• How will you address the diversity of cultures within the team?
• Because the team will operate in a virtual existence, what structure and support will this team need to foster productivity?
• How will you measure the success of the team?
• What are the characteristics you will look for in a leader of this team?
