So far we have learned about project management as it pertains to the US. What if your company becomes so large and successful you feel it is time to expand globally? How would project management standards and methodologies be different in other countries? Are there internationally accepted PM standards? If not, how would you translate US PM protocols to the global public? What types of hurdles do you expect to face?

For another question, what if you had to manage a project between various countries? How would you effectively manage such a product faced with different cultures and backgrounds? With increasing technological advantages, telecommunications, and need for competitive edge, projects on an international scale are becoming more prevalent. I think we should expect being involved in such projects in our working futures, so it is important to reflect on this.
