In January 2005, the vice president of International Affairs at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Ontario, must decide the way to react to a request for proposal from the Hamad Medical Corporation of Qatar.Meanwhile reaching out to its world-wide mission of "Healthier Children, A Better World," Toronto hospital, which had an international repute for professionalism in pediatric medicine, had formed an arm labelled as SickKids International. Additionally, it was concerned to find new strategies to recuperate from an operating shortage brought on by the aftershock of the SARS outbreak.
Hamad Medical Corporation, an important state hospital medical supplier in Qatar, was looking for international centers that will desire to partner with it in the development of what it hoped would become the very best children's hospital in the Middle East. The vice-president understood the tremendous advantages the partnership had to offer but recognized the requirement for an all-inclusive strategy to mitigate each of the associated hazards, like the difference in cultures between Canada and Qatar, the pressure on the Toronto hospital's staff to make the project successful along with the dubious political and business environment in the Middle East. Should she advocate to her executive team that they go with their first international request for proposal?
