Design
Cultural Integration After a Cross-Border Merger
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Your team must design a 3-month cultural integration program for the merged entity. Constraints: budget of €50,000, must involve both French and Indian employees at all levels, and cannot force a single culture. Success means a program that reduces friction, builds mutual respect, and leverages cultural differences for innovation. Deliver a program blueprint, a communication plan, and a set of training modules.
