How did you get on with this?

Have you considered the cultural differences between Americans/Europeans? How will the American company overcome these differences? What about different leadership/operating styles? Different laws, unfamiliar markets and other externalities? How will the firm tackle these? Research? Keeping up to date with current affairs?

Incentives that drive American's might be different from those that drive EU workers - how do you find that balance? More importantly, how do you cater for EU/American employees whilst segregating them for induction and expect them not to develop a 'them and us' culture collectively?

What do you have so far?
