This document discusses cultural frameworks relevant to international business. It defines culture and explains how cultural differences can cause problems for businesses if local customs are not respected. Cultures are influenced by societies and their values, beliefs, and customs, which evolve over time through contact with other cultures or imposition. National identity is reinforced through shared history and symbols. Language and social hierarchies also influence cultures. The document then examines various cultural dimensions that affect business practices, such as work ethics, communication styles, risk tolerance, and strategies for cultural change.

Cross cultural management involves managing work teams in ways that considers the differences in cultures, practices and preferences of consumers in a global or international business context. Many businesses have to learn to modify or adapt their approaches in order to compete on a level in fields no longer bound by physical geography with online interactions more common in business and other situations.
This topic describes what is international business, what is environment in international business, what is socio-cultural environment in business, what are the challenges faced by the international business in 2017.

Sociocultural Factors
“Over-generalization is the enemy of science.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith
Chapter ObjeCtives
this chapter will:
• Define the term “sociocultural” as a combination of societal, political, and
cultural norms and responses and discuss their influence in international
business
• Discuss how attitudes and beliefs influence human behavior, especially attitudes
about time, achievement, work, change, and occupational status
• Present the influence of aesthetics and material culture within different
societies
• Examine how communication, both verbal and nonverbal, may serve as a barrier
to international business operations
• Investigate the importance of social status and the family within different
cultures and their effect on the business environment
• Identify the role of multinational corporations as agents of change in the
international community
soCioCultural FaCtors and international Business
Multinational corporations operate in different host countries around the world and have
to deal with a wide variety of political, economic, geographical, technological, and busi-
ness situations. Moreover, each host country has its own society and culture, which are
different in many important ways from almost every other society and culture, although
there are some commonalities. Although society and culture do not appear to be a part of
business situations, they are actually key elements in shaping how business is conducted,

from what goods are produced and how and through what means they are sold, to the
establishment of industrial and management patterns and the determination of the success
or failure of a local subsidiary or affiliate.
Society and culture influence every aspect of an MNC’s overseas business, and a
successful MNC operation, whether it involves marketing, finance, operations, informa-
tion systems, or human resources, has to be acutely aware of the predominant attitudes,
feelings, and opinions in the local environment. Differences in values and attitudes
between the management at the parent offices and expatriate managers at the subsidiary
or affiliate level, on the one hand, and local managers and employees, on the other, can
lead to serious operational and functional problems, which arise not because there are
individual problems but because of the important differences between the societies and
cultures. Society and culture often ...
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
