Question

Carly is applying for a position at a multinational corporation that will require her to work with people in other countries. Fortunately, she has experience doing this. To prepare for her interview, she is reviewing instances when she demonstrated a global mindset during her previous job. She knows that she will show the interviewer she has a global mindset by telling about times she has appreciated and influenced individuals, groups, organizations, and systems with different social, cultural, political, institutional, intellectual, and psychological characteristics. If Carly shows the interviewer that she is familiar with European Union regulations and knowledgeable about how people in Germany prefer to do business, which dimension of her global mindset is she demonstrating?

Social dimension

Psychological dimension

Cognitive dimension

Answer 1

Answer:

Cognitive dimension.

Explanation:

Global mindset refers to the set of skills and abilities that help a manager influence individuals and organizations from around the globe.

Global mindset has 3 dimensions:

1. Psychological dimension: Willingness to engage in global environments. It reflects a positive attitude towards diversity (affective aspect)
2. Social dimension: Ability to act in a way that helps build trusting relationships with people from around the globe (behavioral aspect)
3. Cognitive dimension: how much the person knows about the global business and how easy it is for the person to analyze, digest, and interpret this information (cognitive/knowledge aspect)

In this case, Carly will show the interviewer that she is familiar with European Union regulations and knowledgeable about how people in Germany prefer to do business, we can say that she is demonstrating how much she KNOWS about the global business and therefore she is demonstrating her cognitive dimension of the global mindset
