What type of training does Scientific-Atlanta give its employees for global work?
A. Most of the training is in rotational job assignments. We have developed our own curriculum in-house where we have a structured program that acquaints our employees with many elements of the global job assignment: cultural differences, legal differences, language requirements, regulatory requirements, and other issues specific to a global assignment. We just started a training program and we’re still in the pilot stages. None of our employees have been through the entire thing. Return to The State of Business index for Summer ’97.
