Global Business Strategy Reflection
For the online discussion activity, I was allocated to Team H, with the project topic about the Rhine River Basin - any lessons for the rivers of Asia. My group leader, Jolene Lee, took the initiative to contact us and she quickly allocated us with our roles the following day. Luckily, I was given the role to use googledocs, which I am very comfortable with when it comes to projects. I find my leader’s way of doing things very efficient. I understand that it would have taken a longer time if she was to seek everyone’s opinion for everything. Thus, having the roles delegated by her from the start allows all members to start working on their work.
In addition, when it comes to content choices, my leader also set the parameters for the topic. Although the members were not given the choice of selecting our tasks, I believe that it saved us a lot of time as we only had one week to work on this exercise. The following were the outline and the members put in charge:

As both of us could use googledocs, communication was smooth and I could easily follow up from where she left off. Besides that, I could also follow up with what the other members had researched on when she copy and pasted their research parts onto googledocs. I could also easily leave a comment on areas I did not understand, to which she would contact the respective member to ask. I understand that she faced difficulties contacting and getting quick responses from the other members due to their conflicting time schedule as well as the limitations for the platforms that they were allocated such as Skype. After the research was completed, Janus, Jolene and I summarised the work and put them up on googleslides. Following which, we completed the last slide regarding the difficulties and problems faced during this
