The Jamming
Dragan Z
...


PROBLEM AND SOLUTION

Problem: Is the jamming approach an effective strategy? What are its advantage and
disadvantages?
II
...
In the first scenario, an executive five-member
team was made to manage a small yet global company
...
They didn’t experience various activities together but they shared the same
business values, goals, etc
...
Meanwhile, a team
composed of a German, an American, a Mexican, and that was not unified at first became unified
ever than before
...
It also showed an effective jamming
approach
...
The key to
successful jamming was when a person or group of people are capable of determining the
uniqueness of a person and understanding them completely as a person
...
However, its plasticity may be such a great asset to multicultural
project managers that many of them view it as ideal in the development of a culturally responsive
project management strategy
...


BRIEF SUMMARY

The case mentioned two scenarios that would relate to the Jamming approach
...
The
team was spread across various countries like Finland, Denmark, Sweden, and England since they
can select their preferred country to live in
...
Meanwhile, every month they were
gathered together in one of the company s divisional headquarters and spent the next day with the
managers
...
They didn’t undergo various activities to strengthen their relationship
with each other but they shared the same business values, goals, etc
...
Moving on to the second scenario, a team that was assigned to make
a product development project for a small high-tech company was not united as one
...
However, a German, an American, a Mexican,
and a Macedonian looked as unified as any other group
...
As they came to understand each other, it came up to the point that
they completely embraced the habits of each other
...

The jamming approach is a strategy that proposes the project manager and the counterpart
improvise to convert their ideas into a pleasant scenario for their work
...

Moving forward, the key to successful jamming was when a person or group of people are capable
of determining the uniqueness of a person
