What we are really looking for is somebody with a global perspective and multicultural awareness, and that is definitely something where we are still struggling. Young German scientists coming over here learn to do business the U.S. way, learn to do management the U.S. way - it is so different here. The Internet is quite common in the United States, but not at all on the German side. That is something you have to learn first when coming to the United States. Well, looking back how we started, I remember quite well when we had to identify the first group of people to come over to the United States.
People do want to come to the United States.
There is no question about that. They are highly skilled, highly motivated, and, especially the young engineers, are definitely career-minded. Most of those that came over are somewhere between 25 and 35 years old. It is something we managed to do in do in one case but not other cases. Other benefits are business experience along with multicultural awareness.
