The document discusses strategies for companies to embrace local culture when expanding internationally. It recommends that companies (1) adapt their products, processes, and corporate credos to be respectful of local cultures, (2) build relationships by employing local people to gain cultural knowledge and help employees acculturate, and (3) coordinate regional efforts through meetings, cross-pollination of ideas, and joint projects. Examples highlighted include 3M building a Buddhist shrine in Thailand and Walmart establishing a credo that respects individuals and serves customers with excellence.
