Western countries. (Chapter 8 page 138-139) and then answer the

Please be sure to back up your answer to the case with facts
from the textbook.
Achievement-oriented
corporations in Western countries often send young, promising
managers on challenging assignments to far away countries without
realizing that the local culture will not accept their youthfulness
and/or gender however they will achieve.
A young (aged 34), talented, female marketing manager had worked
for an American company in both the US and Britain. She was so
successful in her second year there that she was named the most
promising female manager in Britain. This vote of confidence
influenced her decision to accept an offer to transfer as director
of marketing to her company’s operation in Ankara, Turkey. She know
she had always been able to win the support and trust of her
subordinates and colleagues.
The first few weeks in Ankara were as usual in a new job, getting
to know the local business, the staff, and how to get things done.
Luckily, she know one of the marketing managers, Guz Akil, who had
been her marketing assistant in London. They had worked well
together.
Working as hard as she could over the first few months, she found
her authority gradually slipping away. The most experienced Turk,
Hasan (aged 63), informally but consciously took over more and more
of her authority, getting things done where her own efforts were
frustrated, although his marketing knowledge was only a fraction of
her own. She had to watch him exercise influence, which most often
led to unsatisfactory results. Through Guz she learned that the
head office complied with this arrangement, communicating more and
more through Hasan, not her. She also heard that 10 years earlier
an American male manager the same age she was had been withdrawn
because of his inability to command local managers effectively. He
was now working with much success for a competitor back in the
US.
Question:1) Do you think that this is a case of
discrimination based on gender and age or it is just the way in
which ascribed-oriented countries conduct business?
Explain
2) A better tactic could have been to make a young
female an assistant or adviser to a “local” manager. She
would make up for deficits in knowledge they have, while using
local seniority to get things done. What do you think about this
approach? Would it work? Why, why not?
