The document discusses several challenges for managing human resources in China. It notes that strict adherence to hierarchy and lack of attention to detail are sometimes issues, though creativity and work ethic are improving. Younger generations are more open to new management styles. Retaining skilled staff is difficult due to rising career expectations. Compliance with China's labor laws, which regulate work hours, contracts, benefits and taxes, is also a challenge for foreign companies. Adapting company culture to the local context is important for success in China.

Maximizing the Individual and Organizational Impact of Professional DevelopmentHuman Capital Media
As the business environment (globalization, speed of change) and organizational structures (flatter, matrixed) have changed, the employee’s role in professional development has expanded.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

3. Managing Chinese - The Negative Stereotypes
• Strict adherence to hierarchy is still
prevalent
• Value systems are gradually fixing
themselves
• Attention to Details is often lacking
Work ethic does not
encourage pride in work as it
does in other countries
Leftover mentality of the ‘Iron
Rice bowl’ where everything
was provided by the State
4. Managing Chinese - The Negative Stereotypes
Being reactive rather than proactive
Education system relies heavily on rote memory and less on logical and critical
thinking
Creativity is stymied in strictly controlled classrooms where the authority of the
professor is paramount
8. Managing Chinese - The Positive Stereotypes
• Incredible ability to organize
en mass Pudong, Shanghai 1990
• Strong sense of National
Identity and Pride

isolation…
9. Managing Chinese - The Positive Stereotypes
Pudong, Shanghai Today
…to become one of the world’s
most promising economies
10. Managing Chinese – Solutions
• Never accept: “That’s how its done in China”
Often used to deflect foreign criticism or excuse improper behavior
If it does not make sense then it probably doesn’t belong in your organization
• Chinese are capable of accepting and adopting to new behaviors
China is in a constant state of flux: it’s not just the economy that is developing
Flat Organizations, cooperative working environments, empowering junior and
middle management
• Adapt your company culture to your China operations
There is a reason why your firm is successful and part of that is the company
culture
Just as your business model needs to be adjusted to regional preferences so too
does your management style
Not just Foreign Companies introducing new management concepts

22. A few last points…
• China is not a mystical land of dragons and forbidden cities
The Chinese have the same desires and needs as all of us
It is possible to understand China and the Chinese, but…
• There is no such thing as the “China Expert”
The more that you know about China the more questions you will have
Even the Chinese cannot grasp, in its entirety, the socioeconomic changes that
are occurring within their own country
• Foreign Invested Enterprises should not behave like locally owned companies
Foreign firms are scrutinized more closely and held to stricter standards
Train your staff to understand the difference
