During the SAP Radio show, we talked about why strategic initiatives fail when being implemented, especially globally. Do cultural differences cause failure, or is it bad change management?

As I was completing my MBA earlier this year, I was shocked that so many of the manager-level jobs I interviewed for had no global perspective as part of the job description. In fact, at least one company (a very global one) told me that I wasn’t the right candidate because I was too focused on the global positioning of the company. It wasn’t relevant to the role.
