Abstract

The general manager for U.S.-based Sealed Air Corp.'s Taiwan subsidiary must decide whether he's hired the right person to bridge the gap between Sealed Air's corporate culture and Taiwan's business culture. This case details Bob Kayser's experiences in trying to infuse the Sealed Air culture into the Taiwan operation, including approaches to training, compensation, and motivation.
