Why Does T
his Matter?
You are living in one of the most exciting times because of opportunities to work
and interact with people from across the globe. Only a few decades ago, few busi-
nesspeople worked closely with members of other cultures. Now, however, global
business connections have increased rapidly, and you will undoubtedly work across
cultures throughout your career. For example, you will probably have some chances
to travel internationally for work assignments. More frequently, however, you are likely
to work across cultures by collaborating with work
teams in India, videoconferencing or emailing with
customers or suppliers in China, or working in a
culturally diverse office in your hometown. The pos-
sibilities are immense!
The rapid growth in intercultural business con-
nections is driven by technological and cultural
forces of globalization. Technology has allowed
people to nearly instantaneously communicate with
people around the world, transact business, and
move capital. These technologies include the Inter-
net, the digitization of work, ATMs, credit cards,
smart cards, and GPS. Furthermore, convergence
of many business standards and platforms has
made conducting business easier and more predict-
able. These common standards and platforms in-
clude English as a global business language, trade
agreements that specify rules for commerce (the
World Trade Organization and North American
Free Trade Agreement), and quality standards in manufacturing (e.g., supplier-customer
relationships driven by ISO 9000 quality standards). Also, many non-Western ex-
ecutives are trained in business schools in the United States, Australia, and Western
Europe, creating a more homogeneous business culture around the world. 1
Throughout this chapter, you will see a variety of national cultures compared. The
countries selected for this chapter are among the most important trading partners for
the United States and Canada. In terms of trade volume, countries such as China
(including Taiwan), Mexico, Japan, the United Kingdom, and Germany dominate.
(See Table 4.1 for the most important trading partners of North America.) Of course,
you will likely work with business professionals, clients, or customers from many other
national backgrounds. Your business discipline, company, and industry will factor into

Organizational culture refers to the shared values and beliefs within an organization that guide employee behavior. There are four main categories of organizational culture: family culture with a strong hierarchy; Eiffel tower culture with emphasis on tasks; guided missile culture prioritizing individuals; and incubator culture focusing on objectives. Managing diversity and multiculturalism is important for international companies. Potential problems include communication issues and lack of trust, while advantages involve increased creativity and avoiding groupthink. Guidelines for building effective multicultural teams focus on overcoming attitudes and perceptions.

Assignment
An effective understanding of economics forms the foundation of every manager’s, entrepreneur’s, bureaucrats, and leader’s ability to analyze business situations and to develop an appropriate response. The globalization of business is a fact of life for all business professionals. One of the most contentious issues in today’s global business world is the issue of closing local manufacturing facilities, laying off those American workers, and re-opening the same manufacturing facility in an Asian, or other third world country.
Look in your own closet at the clothes you have purchased. Pick any 10 items of clothing and look at the labels in those clothes. Where were they manufactured? How many of the 10 items were manufactured here in America? If that same exercise had been done 50 years ago, (approximately the 1970s), all the clothes you owned would have been manufactured in textile mills in the Southeastern United States (Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, etc.). All those Southeastern textile mills are now closed, and people buy foreign made clothes. If you were able to go further back in time to 150 years ago (1870s), the clothes you owned would have been manufactured in textile mills in the Northeast United States (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, etc.). Yet, by the early to mid-1950s, those Northeastern textile mills were closed and their workers were out of a job. The mills had all relocated to the Southeast during the years following the Civil War.
Many people say that we should ban the import of these foreign made clothes, so that more workers in American clothing textile mills could have jobs. Others say that we should continue to import clothing because imported clothing is relatively less expensive and more people can afford to buy more clothes at these low prices. Still others say that we should put an import tariff (an extra tax that would be paid when we buy these imported clothes), making the price of imported clothing comparable to the price of clothing made in the U.S., and, therefore, encouraging American consumers to buy American-made clothing.
Questions
Before answering the following questions, review the Assignment Checklist. Then, in a separate Word document, answer the following questions in a 3–4 page expository research paper:

Casey & AmmarAnalyze country based on 5 cultural attributes I pr.docx
Casey & Ammar
Analyze country based on 5 cultural attributes I presented during the lecture on Cultural Diversity.
1. Power Distance- The Power distance Index measures the extent to which the less powerful members of organizations and institutions accept and expect that power is distributed unequally. So it is basically saying that all individuals in society are not equal. A country with High Power Distance is one that views an unequal distribution of power as relatively acceptable. On the Hofstede Index Spain received a 57, this is a high score. Meaning Spain practice a hierarchical society; people are accepting that everybody in society has their place.
2. Individualism/Collectivism- On Hofstede’s index Spain got a rating of 51 for individualism. In comparison with other countries Spain would be a collectivist country. This makes Spain very easy to relate with for other countries. Teamwork in spain is seen as very normal and employees work very hard with not a lot of motivation from management.
3. Uncertainty Avoidance
A.) High Uncertainty Avoidance- Spaniards prefer predictable situations. They also like to stick to what works and not consider new ways that may benefit the company. Spaniards are not tempted by rewards that come with high risk.
B.) Hofstede Scale- Spain placed an 86 on uncertainty avoidance which is the second highest score.
0. Direct Versus Indirect
A.) Indirect Communication Style- Spaniards dislike confrontation. If they do disagree they say what they have to say indirectly and leave it to the interpretation of the listener. Challenging a higher up in public is not accepted in Spain because it is seen as challenging ones dignity.
0. Task Versus Relationship
A.) Relationship Style- Spaniards prefer to do business with people they are comfortable with. During the introduction process Spaniards most likely will not talk business at all, instead, they will try to make personal connections and leave the business for later.
Stephanie
Identify and describe the origins or bases of 3 of the cultural attributes based on the country’s history, government, language, religion, geography, societal norms, and business environment.
1. Power Distance
a. History and Government - because of Spain’s long history of monarchical style of government, it has led to a higher power distance between leaders and its subjects
a. Societal Norms - higher levels of power distance are shown between the elders and the young. Formal use of language was once frequent but uncommon.
a. Business Environment - in this environment, lower power power distance is displayed between a boss and its employee. A boss would want to get to know an employee before discussing any business related matters.
1. Individualism-Collectivism
b. History and Government - high levels of collectivism was shown during the rule of Gen. Francisco Franco taking away the “organic democracy”, and implementing representation of Spanish societies, ie. families, municipalitie ...

In your small group, develop a strategic plan for the negotiation and conflict resolution for Quasimoto's executive team for its first meeting with the Chinese. Also, develop a negotiation and conflict resolution plan for the Chinese firm for its first meeting with the Americans. Please note that because this is an important business deal for both companies, both of your plans should include the bargaining behaviors of both countries. Are there any similarities between their bargaining behaviors? Can they have a win-win deal?

Meeting 5 team a
Here are some potential differences in organizational culture between the two companies:
- The U.S. firm likely has a more individualistic culture that values independence and autonomy, while the Spanish firm's culture is probably more collective and team-oriented.
- Decision-making styles may differ, with the U.S. firm using a more top-down approach and the Spanish firm preferring consensus-building.
- Attitudes toward hierarchy could vary as well, with the Spanish firm having a stronger emphasis on formal titles and the chain of command.
- Work-life balance perspectives may not align, as the U.S. tends toward a more results-driven approach while Spain focuses more on relationships and family time.
Euro DisneylandIn the Euro Disneyland case study 257 in.docx
Disney faced several cultural challenges when expanding into France with Euro Disneyland. Two main issues were that Disney underestimated the differences between French and American culture, and they did not consider how French traditions and values would impact park operations. This led French consumers to perceive the park as too American and not authentically French in nature. Disney could have better researched French culture using Hofstede's dimensions to understand cultural values like power distance and individualism. They also should have involved more French consultants and executives during the planning process to create a park that respected French culture rather than just replicating the American Disney model. In the future, companies expanding internationally need to thoroughly research local culture and involve local stakeholders to ensure their business model

If that same exercise had been done 50 years ago, (approximately the 1970s), all the clothes you owned would have been manufactured in textile mills in the Southeastern United States (Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, etc.). All those Southeastern textile mills are now closed, and people buy foreign made clothes. If you were able to go further back in time to 150 years ago (1870s), the clothes you owned would have been manufactured in textile mills in the Northeast United States (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, etc.). Yet, by the early to mid-1950s, those Northeastern textile mills were closed and their workers were out of a job. The mills had all relocated to the Southeast during the years following the Civil War.
Many people say that we should ban the import of these foreign made clothes, so that more workers in American clothing textile mills could have jobs. Others say that we should continue to import clothing because imported clothing is relatively less expensive and more people can afford to buy more clothes at these low prices. Still others say that we should put an import tariff (an extra tax that would be paid when we buy these imported clothes), making the price of imported clothing comparable to the price of clothing made in the U.S., and, therefore, encouraging American consumers to buy American-made clothing.
Questions
Before answering the following questions, review the Assignment Checklist. Then, in a separate Word document, answer the following questions in a 3–4 page expository research paper:
1. Considering what you have learned about “comparative advantage” and relative “marginal opportunity costs,” discuss the advantages and disadvantages to all involved parties (American workers, American consumers, foreign workers, and foreign consumers) of.

Casey & Ammar
Analyze country based on 5 cultural attributes I presented during the lecture on Cultural Diversity.
1. Power Distance- The Power distance Index measures the extent to which the less powerful members of organizations and institutions accept and expect that power is distributed unequally. So it is basically saying that all individuals in society are not equal. A country with High Power Distance is one that views an unequal distribution of power as relatively acceptable. On the Hofstede Index Spain received a 57, this is a high score. Meaning Spain practice a hierarchical society; people are accepting that everybody in society has their place.
2. Individualism/Collectivism- On Hofstede’s index Spain got a rating of 51 for individualism. In comparison with other countries Spain would be a collectivist country. This makes Spain very easy to relate with for other countries. Teamwork in spain is seen as very normal and employees work very hard with not a lot of motivation from management.
3. Uncertainty Avoidance
A.) High Uncertainty Avoidance- Spaniards prefer predictable situations. They also like to stick to what works and not consider new ways that may benefit the company. Spaniards are not tempted by rewards that come with high risk.
B.) Hofstede Scale- Spain placed an 86 on uncertainty avoidance which is the second highest score.
0. Direct Versus Indirect
A.) Indirect Communication Style- Spaniards dislike confrontation. If they do disagree they say what they have to say indirectly and leave it to the interpretation of the listener. Challenging a higher up in public is not accepted in Spain because it is seen as challenging ones dignity.
0. Task Versus Relationship
A.) Relationship Style- Spaniards prefer to do business with people they are comfortable with. During the introduction process Spaniards most likely will not talk business at all, instead, they will try to make personal connections and leave the business for later.
Stephanie
Identify and describe the origins or bases of 3 of the cultural attributes based on the country’s history, government, language, religion, geography, societal norms, and business environment.
1. Power Distance
a. History and Government - because of Spain’s long history of monarchical style of government, it has led to a higher power distance between leaders and its subjects
a. Societal Norms - higher levels of power distance are shown between the elders and the young. Formal use of language was once frequent but uncommon.
a. Business Environment - in this environment, lower power power distance is displayed between a boss and its employee. A boss would want to get to know an employee before discussing any business related matters.
1. Individualism-Collectivism
b. History and Government - high levels of collectivism was shown during the rule of Gen. Francisco Franco taking away the “organic democracy”, and implementing representation of Spanish societies, ie. families, municipalitie ...

Meeting 5 team a
Here are some potential differences in organizational culture between the two companies:
- The U.S. firm likely has a more individualistic culture that values independence and autonomy, while the Spanish firm's culture is probably more collective and team-oriented.
- Decision-making styles may differ, with the U.S. firm using a more top-down approach and the Spanish firm preferring consensus-building.
- Attitudes toward hierarchy could vary as well, with the Spanish firm having a stronger emphasis on formal titles and the chain of command.
- Work-life balance perspectives may not align, as the U.S. tends toward a more results-driven approach while Spain focuses more on relationships and family time.
Euro DisneylandIn the Euro Disneyland case study 257 in.docx
Disney faced several cultural challenges when expanding into France with Euro Disneyland. Two main issues were that Disney underestimated the differences between French and American culture, and they did not consider how French traditions and values would impact park operations. This led French consumers to perceive the park as too American and not authentically French in nature. Disney could have better researched French culture using Hofstede's dimensions to understand cultural values like power distance and individualism. They also should have involved more French consultants and executives during the planning process to create a park that respected French culture rather than just replicating the American Disney model. In the future, companies expanding internationally need to thoroughly research local culture and involve local stakeholders to ensure their business model

Module 1 - The Importance of Cross Cultural ManagementObjectives.docx
Module 1 - The Importance of Cross Cultural ManagementObjectives
The aim of this assignment is to provide learners with an opportunity to reflect, in their own words, on the insight of three ongoing extensive initiatives seeking to help us improve our understanding of managing across cultures.Instructor Comments
A little bit of travel opens up the mind to new possibilities as well as the importance of understanding foreign cultures. In North America, our business system accentuates the formal contractual nature of relationships. We often shop for price and/or quality with little thought given as to who produces an item or who provides particular services. Practices in other national cultures can be different. In many instances, a purchase is made or a relationship developed because of a friendship or family relationship. Deals are sealed by a handshake, not the ink of a pen. Understanding the cultural subtleties surrounding practices can make or break a business deal unbeknownst to the deal-makers.
Geert Hofstede is probably the best known researcher of national cultures as they relate to business practices. His insights obtained from a 1970's study of 100,000 IBM employees around the world serve as the benchmark for this important area of understanding. Fons Trompenaars undertook his own research and built on Hofstede's ideas to create his own framework of understanding national cultures. Along with these two large research programs, a third is currently underway seeking to understand the difference in leadership around the world. Robert House and Mansour Javidan lead this group. These three research programs inform this assignment and hopefully serve to improve your knowledge of all important differences and similarities across cultures.Assignment
This assignment seeks to help you understand the answer to a broader concern and that is, "Why does cross-cultural management matter?"
You should base your responses to the following questions on the insight found in the following four readings:
(Note: To access Library Articles and Journals from off-campus use VPN)
· John Bing: Hofstede's consequences: The impact of his work on consulting and business practices. Academy of Management Executive. 2004

Respond to the following discussion with at least 50 words
Respond to the following discussion with at least 50 words:
Managing multicultural teams can be challenging because of the potential for different expectations goes up as you have people coming from different cultural background. Dealing with multicultural, a diverse group may require the skills to lead teams well in general. However, there are some particular issues that international managers might face when they are working on a global project;
1. Having different views about hierarchy- because you are working with different cultures, it is not possible that your members may have attitudes about the status that lead to different expectations of how the team members should treat Example, teams members from a low-power-distance a culture like the Netherlands may want to treat everyone equal, while a team members from higher-power-distance like Belgium they think that is it vital to defer people with more status.
2. Fluency problems- culture is linked to a team member’s primary language. The team member who is not fluent in their the primary language used by the other team will have trouble getting their points and knowledge across. These will result in being incompetence, frustrations, and preclude the team from valuable expertise from all its members.
3. Decision-making norms that conflict- multicultural teams have different views about how much analysis needs to finish before decisions are made (McFarlin, 207). As a result, the member becomes impatient as they want to make a decision quickly, while other member wants to gather more time and gather information.
I believe it is essential that an international manager should carefully assess the problem confronting a specific multicultural team and consider their background. Adaptation plays a vital role in solving problems in multicultural teams. Engaged with your counterpart, work together collaboratively to identify the problem and fix the problem, in this way, this tends to work best with perspective who can recognize as well as acknowledge the cultural differences while being motivated. As mentioned in the video, the international manager should ready in confrontation. State your problem in intentive terms and don’t be definitive. Engaged your counterpart in defining the problem and defining the solution. Try not to take it personally, Try not to be defensive, Try not to withdraw but instead engaged with other party and understand what the problem is.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant.

The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.
