- For PurrTech’s expansion into Germany, I’ve decided to use a polycentric staffing approach—meaning we’ll hire German professionals to run our operations there. I believe this is the most respectful and effective choice. After all, no one knows how to do business in Germany better than those who live and work there. I want to build something that fits the local culture, not just transplant our way of doing things. Germany is home to a highly skilled and well-educated workforce, especially in technical fields. Their strong focus on vocational training and quality makes this a great opportunity to learn and grow alongside our team there. By working with local talent, we can adapt our products and operations to meet the expectations of German consumers and regulators without missing a beat. When it comes to hiring for leadership roles, my top priority is finding people who combine a solid understanding of local laws and regulations with a forward-thinking, solution-focused mindset.

Italian managers bring invaluable local market understanding and cultural intelligence crucial for navigating business practices and building relationships. A well-educated local workforce is available for administrative tasks, ensuring smooth daily operations. For plant workers, local hiring is practical and fosters community goodwill.

A hybrid staffing approach would be the most effective for Nike's expansion into China. This approach allows for Nike to place local professionals in China in key roles, which respect local customs, cultural norms and consumer preferences. Also, it ensures Nike maintains its global standards, innovation mindset and unified brand culture across markets. When selecting staff for the expansion I would recommend the top requirement to be adaptability and a growth mindset. While technical knowledge and experience is important, the ability to adjust to change, work across cultural boundaries, and have continuous learning is vital in the fast-evolving environment. Having this mindset supports long-term success, fosters innovation, and helps employees navigate challenges naturally.arrow_forward
