The document discusses problems that have arisen in a joint consulting project between an American and Korean company. Key issues include unclear roles and authority between the co-managers Jack and Ellen, cultural biases against Ellen as a woman, and differences in communication and work styles between the American and Korean consultants that have led to delays. Recommendations are made to more clearly define the roles of Jack and Ellen, prioritize finishing work for the client, improve communication between the groups, and provide cultural training to prevent future issues.
