Cultural consequences of IHRM on company’s values, behavior, institutions, or...Masum Hussain
The objective of the study is to investigate and analyze the influence of culture on human resource management practices. The research is expected to answer the importance question: Are HRM practices influenced by national culture or not? It is generally accepted that the practices of management is considered to be universal until Hofstede (1980:42) published the seminal work: Culture’s Consequences: International Differences in Work Related Value in 1980. Hofstede’s work is the most popular in cross culture management studies so that his framework in national culture will be used in this research. Structural equation model (SEM) with Two Step Model Building Approach is used to test structural theory. It is used to test the hypotheses model statistically to determine the extent to which the proposed model is consistent with the sample data. SEM incorporates both confirmatory factor analysis and multiple regressions to estimate a series of interdependent relationship simultaneously. The results of descriptive analysis indicate that the national culture dimensions tend high for collectivism, power distance, masculinity and uncertainty avoidance, quite different from Hofstede (1980) findings that Indonesia has high collectivism, high power distance, and moderate in masculinity and low in uncertainty avoidance. While in Second Order Confirmatory Factor Analysis, collectivism, power distance and uncertainty avoidance are confirmed as a dimension of national culture but masculinity are not.
In structural testing, it indicates that two hypotheses i.e. the influence of national culture on career development and compensation are supported but the influence of national culture on staffing and participative management are not supported. Organizational culture also shows influence on staffing and participative management. One of human resource management practices i.e. career development influence on organizational performance but others such as staffing, participative management, and compensation does not. This study shows that national culture and organizational culture influence on some of human resource management practices. Therefore, this research supports the divergence theory that human resource management practices are culture-bound.

Learning Objectives
Helsinki, Finland—Nokia Corporation (www.nokia.com) is the world’s number one manufacturer of mobile handsets. The company’s 112,000 employees in more than 150 countries generate $79 billion in sales annually. Nokia uses its knowledge of cultures to control 40 percent of the global handset market.
Nokia is especially talented at detecting consumer needs in emerging markets. China and India represent Nokia’s first and second largest markets ahead of third-place United States. Nokia knows that in India a buyer selects a handset that has the right look and style and projects the right image. But for a consumer in China, a handset needs to be the right bargain. And Nokia recently finished a year-long study of the handset needs of people who live in Accra, capital city of the African nation Ghana.
Source: Jeffrey Barbee.
Nokia spends around $8 billion a year on research and development. Anthropologists and psychologists first travel the globe for Nokia to learn how people behave and communicate. Personnel at Nokia’s headquarters in Finland then blend these unique insights with emerging global trends to design new handsets. Finally, the company develops phones suitable for a variety of markets but localizes each one with colors, surface textures, services, and ring-tones.
Nokia maintains its competitive edge through careful cultural research. For example, company anthropologists learned that people in rural areas of emerging markets need a phone that can be shared among many users. So Nokia added the capability to save each person’s contacts separately and installed a call tracker that imposes a time or cost limit on each call. Handsets designed for emerging markets also feature menus in local languages, a one-touch flashlight in case of power outages, and a demo program for those who have never used a mobile phone. As you read this chapter, consider how culture influences international business and how company actions affect cultures.1
This chapter is the first of three that describe the links between international business activity and a nation’s business environment. We introduce these topics early because of their strong influence on how commerce is conducted in different countries. In fact, success in international business can often be traced directly to a deep understanding of some aspect of a people’s commercial environment. This chapter explores the influence of culture on international business activity. Chapter 3 presents the roles of political and legal systems, and Chapter 4 examines the impact of economic systems and emerging markets on international business.
An assessment of any nation’s overall business climate is typically the first step in analyzing its potential as a host for international commercial activity. This means addressing some important questions, such as the following: What language(s) do the people speak? What is the climate like? Are the local people open to new ideas a.
The very objective of this presentation is to give a detailed brief picture on how Culture plays a significant role especially in the context of Global HRM coupled with few other concepts regarding the context.
I hope this PPT will serve as good reference for aspiring HR learners.

Report on Business Marketing Research on JMI, a B2B Market [Elegant (VI)]Md. Abdur Rakib
This is a Report on Business Marketing Research on JMI, a B2B Market. It is based on the study of Business Marketing.
Surgical Device market in Bangladesh has great prospect for the local manufacturer of surgical device. More than 30,000 surgical devices are available in Bangladesh. Almost all devices are exported from foreign country. So we can tell surgical device market as the unexplored B2B market. Only four major companies are providing surgical devices in Bangladesh. If the companies manufacture more surgical device then it generate huge profit to them. It also creates more empowerment and also contributes to our national economy.
JMI syringe & Medical Device Company Ltd. has various kinds of surgical product, although it is very difficult and risky for surgical device provider to develop new product, JMI has eleven products. The company‟s age is not very old in comparison of its competitor. But still the companies are doing well in surgical device market in Bangladesh. They are ranked as 2nd as the comparison of its competitor Opso saline.
JMI Syringe & Medical Device Limited has received tremendous response by institution buyer and dealers. Institution buyers have gained confidence in their products for quality and economics. This business shows considerable promise in contributing to the national economy of Bangladesh. This report focuses on JMI‟s syringe & other medical devices their various strategies, promotional activities, and their position in the market in comparison to the market leader “Opso Saline” and so on.
JMI charges cost plus pricing for some of his products and for unique product like AD syringe and urine drainage bag they charges skimming pricing. They have also promotion strategy like other surgical device company in Bangladesh. The promotion campaign is inspiring the doctors and their patient to use safe syringe, attending different seminar, fair related to pharmaceutical product. But due to the Govt. prohibition they can‟t promote their product by the mass media.

Retail media wordt gezien als het nieuwe advertising-medium en ook mediabureaus richten massaal retail media-afdelingen op. Merken die niet in de betreffende winkel liggen staan ook nog niet in de rij om op de retail media netwerken te adverteren.

It is a sample of an interview for a business english class for pre-intermediate and intermediate english students with emphasis on the speking ability.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

3. Cultural Distance
Companies expanding business outside of their home country have to deal
with several differences between their home country and the countries
where they have subsidiaries.
For example, North-American multinationals working in Asia found a very
different work environment, with several differences in
language, culture, politics system, educational level and industrial
developmental level. These differences are called psychic distance (coined by
Beckerman (1956). Psychic distance refers to the possibility of determining
the extent of the differences when expanding a company’s operations
abroad. The psychic distance is represented by a sum of the
geographic, administrative, cultural and economic distances among countries.

Distances Distances
Cultural distance is one of the most complex dimensions. It includes not only cultural
differences, but also structural elements, such as those arising from
admi-nistrative, economic, and legal system-related differences, as well as language
differences.
5. Dimension of Cultural Distance
Language
• Considers the distance between the home language and the
language of the other country, as well as the percentage of
the population that is able to speak the latter.
Religion
• Considers the distance between mostly followed religion in
home country and the dominant religion of the other
country, as well as the percentage of the population that
follows the latter.
Culture
• Composed of four discrete indicators: power
distance, individuality, masculinity, and aversion to
uncertainty.
6. The Cultural Distance Effect
The theoretical reason why the cultural distance to the target country should
affect expanding abroad is that firms located in culturally distant countries have
radically different organizational and managerial practices as well as
communication styles, and are hence difficult to integrate into an MNE’s
corporate network after they have been acquired. However, cultural distance
effect creates very natural biases. Companies usually look for countries abroad
where their experiences in the home market would be most useful, where the
cultural synergy would be maximized. And they can utilize their experiences in
dissimilar cultural countries.
For Example, Japan’s exporting companies generally started trade with the
Southeast Asian countries before moving on to Latin America & Australia.
7. The International Learning Curve
Learning curve means learning through the timeline of doing business to
culturally similar countries & extending its business to a culturally
different & competitive country market when experienced from learning
and adapting to the foreign country cultures. It gradually increases the
productivity of the managers involved. It also helps to create a common
rationale for choosing countries to enter, analyze foreign
environments, gain capabilities, appropriate strategies & tactics. Even a
great potential in a psychically distant market may not be exploited
because of the additional transactional costs. Only an experienced
international marketer eyes for the new and important country markets.
Example: Japanese firms tend to enter Southeast Asian markets
following the minimum cultural distance. Then, looking for
diversification enter Latin American markets. As skills and confidence
grow, they eye for the US or European market. But before entering, they
will enter Australian market to test the ability to sustain penetration in a
country with similar characteristics. Finally, with sufficient success &
learning they will enter the US market.
