Computer networks have experienced an explosive growth over the past few years, which has lead to some severe congestion problems. Reliable protocols like TCP works well in wired networks where loss occurs mostly because of congestion. However, in wireless networks, loss occurs because of bit rates and handoffs too. TCP responds all losses by congestion control and avoidance algorithms, which results in degradation of TCP’s End-To-End performance in wireless networks. This paper discusses different issues and problems regarding use of TCP in wireless networks and provides comprehensive survey of various schemes to improve performance of TCP in Wireless Networks.

77% of buyers don't believe sales reps understand their businesses or can help them. Social selling uses social networks like LinkedIn to build relationships and understand prospects better. One COO said sales emails often feel like spam and hurt credibility. Reps lose deals when they don't understand prospects, engage throughout the sales cycle, or are not the first to contact decision makers. Social selling can help reps avoid these pitfalls by connecting them to prospects on LinkedIn.
An Empirical Study to Determine the Relationship between Revealing Accounting...inventionjournals
This study, which focuses on accounting processes and especially the relationship between culture and fraud, attempts to propound the relationship between the cultural dimensions of the accounting professionals operating in Istanbul (Turkey) and the behavior of revealing fraud. The study attempts to demonstrate the degree of influence which the auditors are exposed in the event of ethical dilemma in two perspectives: firstly by examining the relationship between the factors that influence the auditors and the cultural dimensions, secondly by examining the relationship between the decisions to be made in the case of ethical dilemma and the cultural dimensions of the auditors. The results of the study conducted on independent auditors operating in Istanbul show that the dominant cultural dimension of auditors' cultural identities is the high power distance, taking into consideration the sampling. Nevertheless, it is seen that auditors have high cultural dimensions arising from avoidance of uncertainty, high collectivity and femininity. Despite the high level of avoidance of uncertainty, it was found that auditors' risk avoidance degree is moderately high, not substantially high. This can be explained by the high education level of the sampling group, their positions as top level managers and decision makers. Ethical sensitivity was found to be higher in women than men in the study. Conversely, it was determined that there is no relationship between cultural dimensions and revealing fraud, and there is a positively low strength, partial relationship between the factors that influence auditors in the case of an ethical dilemma and the risk taking attitude of the auditors.

Corporate efficiency through cultural narrativesQuinn Thurman
This document provides a literature review and proposed methodology for a study examining how cultural narratives contribute to corporate efficiency at Southern Utah University. The literature review discusses previous research showing that strong organizational culture and internal communication can improve efficiency. The proposed methodology is to interview university staff involved in recruitment to identify common narratives told to students. These narratives will then be analyzed using grounded theory methods to develop categories of stories and evaluate which types of stories align with factors known to increase efficiency, such as those identified in the literature review. The goal is to determine what narrative themes and types are most effective for establishing an efficient organizational culture.

This document discusses the cultural consequences of international human resource management practices on companies. It begins with an introduction on globalization and the need for companies to integrate domestic and foreign operations. It then discusses several cultural frameworks for understanding differences in values and practices across countries, including the work of Hall and Hall on high and low context cultures, and Hofstede's five dimensions of national culture: power distance, uncertainty avoidance, individualism vs collectivism, masculinity vs femininity, and long vs short term orientation. The document explores how these cultural theories can provide insights into variations in HR practices across regions. It emphasizes that while cultural theories are useful for understanding differences, they should not deterministically link culture to practices without considering other factors like

50 CHAPTER 3 THE ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT
In such highly inrernationalized organizations we often find attempts to standardize H R J V I practices on a w o r l d w i d e basis. O f course, this approach is not appropriate for the whole work - force but aims at a group of managers w h o are w o r k i n g at the cross-border boundaries of the f i r m in the headquarters or in foreign locations, i.e., international boundary spanners.'^ A good example of a M N E w h i c h has attempted to globally standardize compensation practices is Schering A G , a German pharmaceutical company, which introduced a global performance sys-tem for top managers worldwide . ^'' W i t h i n the context of a new strategic orientation, Schering implemented a standardized bonus system for top executives that aimed at strengthening the performance culture in the company and facilitating a common orientation for all managers. The corporate element of the bonus system consisted of a standardized bonus structure. As tht* cultural acceptance for variable bonuses varied across Schering's subsidiaries, the p r o p o r t i o n between the f i x and variable part of the total compensation package of managers was adapted to the country-specific conditions . The Schering example not only shows us that the implemen-tation of global standards is possible, but at the same time, it also makes it clear that local adap-tations and exceptions to the standards are often needed. The factors driving the localization of H R M practices are outlined in the next section.
FACTORS DRIVING LOCALIZATION
.As has been depicted in Figure 3.2, factors d r i v i n g localization include the cultural and institu-tional environment and features of the local entity itself. W e w i l l discuss these factors in the fol-
l o w i n g paragraphs.

The cultural environment
In Chapter 2, we identified national culture as a moderating variable in I H R M . W e noted how members of a group or society w h o share a distinct way of life w i l l tend to have common values, attitudes and behaviors that are transmitted over time in a gradual, yet dynamic, process. There is evidence that culture has an important impact on w o r k and H R M practices. Sparrow, for example, has identified cultural influences on reward behavior such as 'different expectations of the manager-subordinate relationship and their influence on performance management and motivational processes'.^' Triandis^^ found that cultures where w o r k is based on more integrated personal social 'relationships' may value a more complete balance of intrinsic and extrinsic rewards, while cultures characterized by personal independence and isolation ('individualism') as well as rapidly changing personal and social contexts may emphasize extrinsic rewards - given the absence of a strong and enduring social matrix that attributes meaning and power to intrinsic rewards. The examples indicate that the effectiveness of standardized practices might.

KmbHR05 (IHRM) con & Divergence unit 4 Pooja Tiwari
The document discusses the theories of convergence and divergence in personnel management approaches between developed and developing economies. The convergence theory focuses on establishing universal best practices across countries, while the divergence theory argues that management systems must conform to each country's specific circumstances. Whether an organization uses a convergence or divergence approach depends on its goals and context. The document provides examples showing how cultural and institutional differences between countries like China and the UK mean their human resource management practices are unlikely to converge.

2. Abstract
This study draws on Hofstede’s theoretical framework to examine the
impact of different dimensions of culture on the quality of internal
audit (QIA) in Saudi Arabia. A sample of chief internal auditors from 67
listed companies has been used to examine the direct effect of the
cultural dimensions of power distance, uncertainty avoidance, and
individualism on the QIA. Evidence was found that organizations, in
which power distance and uncertainty avoidance are high, are
characterized by lower QIA. The results also show a positive association
between individualism and the QIA, indicating that internal audit is
largely based on the accomplishments of the individual internal
auditors associated with the process. Considering these outcomes from
the Saudi Arabian standpoint, where the cultural and economic
contexts are underpinned by collectivism rather than individualism, it
emerges that it is only comparatively recently that a tradition of
governance and audit has started to develop, and that quite particular
and strong cultural influences stemming from tribalism and pervasive
core traditions beliefs operate to condition the effort to achieve the
ideal internal audit environment.
3. Introduction
The importance of internal audit quality is well-accepted in the
developed countries, where the International Standards for the
Professional Practice of Internal Auditing (ISPPIA) are complied
with through the actions of Chief Audit Executives (CAEs), who
facilitate the internal audit function (IAF) in a variety of ways.
their brief is to in still a sense of professionalism within internal
auditors, and implement organizational structures to allow them
to operate unhindered in the interests of effective internal
control and transparency.
The varying attitudes are the result of differing cultural outlooks
and traditions, a topic which has raised interest among
researchers concerning the influential role of culture upon the
way in which auditing in general operates.
4. Problem Statement
• The Prevailing Dimensions of Culture in Saudi Arabia. A
sample of chief internal auditors from 67 listed
companies has been used to examine the direct effect
of the cultural dimensions of power distance,
uncertainty avoidance, and individualism on the QIA.
• Hypothesis (H1): Power distance with the QIA.
• (H2): Uncertainty avoidance with the QIA.
• (H3): Individualism with the QIA.
5. Review Of Literature
• Cultural dimensions have served as the basis for a number of cross-cultural studies in auditing,
in which it has been found that a significant variation exists in practice according to cultural
context. One of these studies, undertaken by Hughes et al. (2009), explored the role played by
three of the cultural dimensions proposed by Hofstede—power distance, uncertainty
avoidance, and individualism—in the investigative procedures performed by entry-level
auditors in Mexico and the United States. In that particular study, it emerged that the
participants’ abilities to predict income statement balances were not in themselves impaired by
these cultural dimensions, but that there was the potential for these dimensions to affect their
ability to predict changes in balance sheet accounts. Moreover, they highlighted the effect of
culture upon the risk assessment process, showing that auditors rarely differentiated between
accounts that changed according to, from those that changed contrary to, expectation; instead
they amended their risk assessments to match the direction of balances that increase or
decrease. In another recent study, Hope et al. (2008) constructed a novel measure of how
secretive societies are based on Hofstede’s (1980) cultural factors and employed a large sample
of firms (i.e., 91,030 firm-year observations) from 37 countries, to explore the impact of
national culture on the choice of auditors..
6. Research Method
• Independent Variables:The three cultural
dimensions—power distance, uncertainty
avoidance, and individualism.
• Dependent Variables:The hypotheses are
tested using multiple linear regression. A
multiple regression was performed between
QIA as the dependent variable and the
independent Variables.
8. Correlation between the QIA and Average scores of cultural dimensions.

9. Results
Power distance is quite clearly inversely
associated with the QIA
With regard to uncertainty avoidance, the
results indicate that uncertainty avoidance is
negatively correlated with QIA
The results indicate that individualism is
positively correlated with QIA
10. Discussions
Power distance is quite clearly inversely
associated with the QIA. These results support
the hypotheses that higher QIA is expected in
organizations with lower power distance.
These results support the hypotheses that higher
QIA is expected in organizations with lower
uncertainty avoidance.
the results indicate the individualism is positively
correlated with QIA. These results do not support
H3.
11. Suggestions
A gradual shift to a more relaxed and consultative
approach in the workplace will ensue, thereby
precipitating a drop in the extent of power distance
within business organizations, and by implication, the
national culture.
In case of Uncertainty avoidance it suggests
organizations where uncertainty avoidance is low are
characterized by higher QIA.
It is essential to return to the specific cultural context
of Saudi Arabia,which as highlighted earlier, results in
the family being regarded as the center of community
12. Conclusion
This study provides indicative evidence as to the manner in
which cultural dimensions—power distance, uncertainty
avoidance, and individualism—affect the QIA.
The results indicate that power distance is negatively
associated with the QIA. More specifically, organizations
where power distance is high are characterized by lower
QIA and vice versa.
Internal auditors who behave in an individualistic as
opposed to a collectivist manner are believed to be
intrinsically motivated to work toward improving their
professional practice as ultimately this will be
advantageous to their own promotion
