Composition of the Three 10-Member Teams in the Sites

The team comprises ethnically diverse individuals from different countries including Asia,

Africa, UK, Mexico, and the United States. It also comprises workers from different ethnic groups

including whites, African Americans, Hispanics, Indians, and Native Americans. The workers are

of different age groups and demographics including the millennials, x-generation among others

(Maddock, 2012). The business is mostly accomplished through team building by the team

members. The members of the team contribute to organizational success by presenting different

skills set needed for the effective completion of the organizational processes within the firm.

There are different cultures within the team. They present different perspectives, values,

and experiences shared across the team. However, failure to recognize the differences in the

perspectives and experiences of the employees from different cultures may significantly lead to

frustrations and conflicts. The most common differences emerge from communication styles and

individual preferences and frames among the cultural diversity (Ross, 2016). For instance,

employees from Mexico are willing to put in extra hours without additional pay while the African

Americans and whites are not willing to do the same. Furthermore, they differ in how these

employees from different cultures view humanity, nature, achievement and activity, interpersonal

relationships, and time among other qualities. Work culture in these countries is either collective or

individualistic. For workers coming from Asia and Africa, they have a collective work culture as

they focus on the goals and objectives of the entire group. They aim at establishing long-term

relationships and recognizing the team’s success.
