Globalization And Being Malaysian

Had a walk-in enquiry on campus yesterday evening with Mr. Steve Koh, a manager with Dell, and he made an interesting comment about how everything in business management has to be seen from a global perspective as well as local perspective, about the importance of blending into another culture before you can manage the people of that culture. If more people knew about that, we’d be better off.

Also, he mentioned that the reason why Malaysians and Singaporeans do better than other Asian countries right now is partially due to our multiracial environment. Because we have a few dominant cultures in our country, we have learned to adapt very fast to different languages and ways of life to accommodate our neighbors and friends. Interesting thought…
