In any case, managers are faced with a new set ofchallenges that are related to culture, customs, religion, traditions, and language. If theorganization is not ready for this by planning ahead and training both employees and managers,the manager could be overwhelmed with issues that should be handled by the organization. Anotable research paper in this area is the one completed by Geert Hofstede for IBM wherefindings grouped countries according to cultural variables such as assertiveness and statusdifferences, among others [5]. Such findings could help to create a common corporate system forcountries with similar attributes.An umbrella category for managerial challenges is

students, and design and delivery of courses.Pedagogical design strategies and delivery practices that are carefully planned for workingprofessionals must be considered to ensure success in achieving learning outcomes as well as fullengagement of the students with the program and curriculum. The right combination of advising,administration, technology, pedagogy, and content is required to produce an environment inwhich these non-traditional students thrive and succeed in achieving learning outcomes andobjectives and persist in enrollment and degree completion in a reasonable amount of time.Literature points to effective strategies for programs that cater to non-traditional students, bestpractices in asynchronous course design, and ways to prepare

project,the quantitative analysis tool used and its results are presented. Finally, the conclusion follows with adiscussion of the results and future plans to improve the course and its assessment methods.Literature ReviewExperiential learning or project-based learning has been widely employed in teaching Lean manufacturingand Six Sigma courses. It helps students learn core concepts of LSS and allows for deeper understandingof the theoretical knowledge through the practical application. Van Til et al. (2009) discussed design andimplementation of a problem-solving Lean project in an interdisciplinary course taught by a faculty teamfrom different schools. Montgomery et al. (2005) described the introduction of Six Sigma program and itscoursework and

A reward structureshould be thoughtfully planned, to encourage effective contribution to the design work, and alignactor interests such that a shared success would be rewarded.Each set of learning objectives may be further studied in the framework of threshold concepts[8], [9]: Which learning objects are difficult to achieve, yet critical for holistic thinking,interaction roles, and interest alignment? In what sequence should they be learned, and how cansuch skills be recognized and rewarded in the formal curriculum?Table 4.
