In managing a global workforce, the intersection of diversity, cultural awareness, and globalization is beneficial for maintaining unity within a workplace. Diversity involves every aspect of people and their differences, including race, gender, and age. Cultural Sensitivity entails recognizing and respecting such differences, particularly with regard to culture. On the other hand, globalization may be integrating global markets and cultures; this requires organizations to compete and operate internationally. Such elements intertwine in the workplace to form a complex that, if properly implemented, can result in improved innovation and creativity and, consequently, increased competitiveness.
I selected these areas of overlap because they capture the essence of today’s organizations and their interactions. For example, in a globally dispersed team with members from different countries, honoring cultural differences (Cultural Awareness) helps decrease conflict and increases team cooperation. Diversity helps to avoid stagnation – it results in different views and ways of solving problems. Globalization further increases the problem since organizations work under different legal requirements, cultures and market conditions. Cumulatively, these characteristics demand pluralistic management approaches that are diverse, flexible, and visionary.
The effects of these intersections at the workplace are felt in their entirety. Thus, a diverse staff is culturally sensitive and having a global perspective could bring more overall experience and view to the table, leading to better decision-making and problem-solving (Quick & Nelson, 2019). Furthermore, creating a culture that embraces diversity brings out more employee engagement and loyalty. Companies that are most effective at handling these intersections are typically more capable of deciphering global market signals and, thus are likely to perform better in the strategic competition. Therefore, incorporating diversity, cultural awareness, and globalization into the fundamental business model is an ethical imperative and a question of competitive advantage.

Papers should be at least 500 words, but not more than 800 words. 
Papers should include a brief movie summary (just 2-3 sentences). The majority of the paper should include your reflections on the character (or characters) in the film that relate to leadership. Where appropriate, make sure that you use the proper “leadership” vocabulary from The Leadership Challenge. Please do not feel the need to go through this list below as a “checklist,” but you may want to consider some of the following questions to guide your analysis:
Was the leader effective?
Did the leader emulate any of the leadership principles or practices we covered in our class?
Even great leaders have moments of weakness or leadership shortcomings. What are some mistakes made by the leader you selected?
Did your leader face any ethical considerations? If so, how did your leader respond to these issues?
What do you like/dislike about your leader?  
Your paper should be well-written, interesting and easy to understand and follow.
Grammar, spelling, proper paragraph use, and punctuation are important on all writing assignments.
The movie I chose is Avengers: End Game.

ASSIGNMENT: Your presentation will be 11-14 slides long, not including the title and references slides. It must include the following slides:
Title
Executive Summary
Organization Background
Internal Strengths
Internal Weaknesses
External Opportunities
External Threats
Macro Environment Analysis: PESTEL
Micro Industry Analysis: Porter’s Five Forces
Generic Strategy Recommendations
Organization Design Recommendations

References
If you’ve never used a presentation tool like PowerPoint or Google Slides before, don’t worry! The assignment template below will help you create slides for a basic slide presentation. Then you’ll be able to practice using the presentation technology as you put the finishing touches on your presentation.
Step 1: Choose an Organization
Select an organization that you are familiar with.
The most successful learners select an organization that is a public company with readily available information to meet the analysis requirements of the rubric. These successful learners do not rely solely on their personal knowledge but instead use evidence from references to support points in the touchstone.
Learners that struggle with this touchstone are those who select an organization that is small, hyper-local, non-profit, or governmental; this includes municipalities or the company they work for. We suggest you avoid organizations in these categories.
Organizations that should NOT be used include:
Amazon
Amnesty International
US Bank
Walmart
Tesla
Use a presentation tool like PowerPoint or Google Slides to outline and organize your presentation. Your presentation must include the following:
Slide Component
Title Slide Your title slide will be the first slide and should include your name, the date, and the name of the organization you selected.
Executive Summary An executive summary should include the main points of your presentation in 1-2 slides (no more than 2). It should also include your recommendations in 1-3 bullet points. As a general rule, it is usually best (and easiest) to write the executive summary last—after the rest of your presentation is completed.
Organization Background The organization background should be brief—no more than 1-2 slides. It should include a brief history of the organization, in addition to the major products or services offered and the markets that are served. Other possible categories include the founding date, mission statement, annual profits, sales regions, etc.
Internal Strengths Using what you have learned about SWOT analysis, identify 4-6 strengths internally within the organization. You may have to make some inferences based on what you know or perceive about the organization.
Internal Weaknesses Using what you have learned about SWOT analysis, identify 4-6 weaknesses internally within the organization. You may have to make some inferences based on what you know or perceive about the organization.
External Opportunities Using what you have learned about SWOT analysis, list 4-6 opportunities facing the organization externally. Opportunities and threats are generally easier to identify than internal strengths and weaknesses, and are typically shared across the same industry.
External Threats Using what you have learned about SWOT analysis, list 4-6 threats facing the organization externally. Opportunities and threats are generally easier to identify than internal strengths and weaknesses, and are typically shared across the same industry.
Macro Environment Analysis: PESTEL Applying the PESTEL framework to the organization, identify 1-3 factors for each of the following: Political Factors, Economic Factors, Sociocultural Factors, Technological Factors, Environmental Factors, Legal Factors.
Micro Industry Analysis: Porter’s Five Forces Analyze the industry the organization competes in by applying what you have learned about Porter’s Five Forces of industry analysis. You should list 2-3 observations for each of the following factors: Threat of New Entrants, Threat of Substitutes, Supplier Power, Buyer Power, and Industry Rivalry.
Generic Strategy Recommendations Given what you have learned from your internal and external analysis of the organization, are they pursuing the right strategy? If so, why? If not, what might you recommend? Is the recommended (or current) strategy the right “fit” for the environment in which the organization competes? Be sure to select one of Porter’s three generic strategies and provide your rationale: Cost Leadership, Differentiation, or Focus.
Organization Design Recommendations Is the organization optimally designed (structured) for either your recommended or their current strategy? For example, if they are pursuing a Cost Leadership strategy, do they have a low-cost operating model? The objective here is to determine and demonstrate the degree of “fit” between strategy and structure.
Ethical Considerations What are some of the ethical considerations for your recommended (or current) strategy? Is the organization positioned for long-term sustainability? Are there issues which may ultimately affect the organization’s ability to attract and retain talented employees or maintain the credibility of their brand? Are there potential ethical dilemmas in executing any recommended changes? The need to potentially layoff thousands of workers or stop paying for benefits such as healthcare to lower operating expenses, for example?
References This touchstone requires you to use at least four sources, including the course tutorials. Ideas for outside sources include (but are not limited to) organization websites, annual reports, or news articles from reputable magazines or newspapers. Following APA formatting, your sources should appear in alphabetical order.
Step 3: Add Speaker Notes
For this assignment, you are not actually giving a presentation, but rather just preparing a slide deck that summarizes your findings and recommendations.
An important step in the preparation of a speech is writing speaker notes. Speaker notes are notes added to a slide presentation as a reference for the presenter and can be found below each slide. For this touchstone, add your speaker notes to explain your analysis using information from your sources. If you were giving an oral presentation, these notes wouldn’t be visible to your audience when you’re in Presenter View. But you would be able to see them, and they would guide you through your presentation.
I have included the template
