Managing Diversity in Work Cultures In order to compete successfully in world markets, international leaders must be able to understand and manage diversity. That is, they must obtain better knowledge of historical, cultural, and religious forces that motivate and drive people in foreign cultures. In Japan, for example, business relations typically operate within the context of Wa , which means group harmony and social cohesion. In China, business is measured via guanxi , or personal relations. In South Korea, the inhwa concept is employed, which is based on the principles of hierarchical relationships (Alston, 1989). These diverse cultures require international leaders to have a solid grasp of the measures by which business dealings are fostered. Please review and provide your evidence-based rationale regarding the following: Select two countries of your choice and research their business cultures. Compare and contrast their business cultures with the US business culture. Evaluate the similarities and differences that you find. How should international leaders respond to this diversity within the international work culture? Explain how awareness of business culture across countries can enhance strategy implementation. An organization has an aggressive diversity and gender equality program and has decided to send a female senior manager to a subsidiary in another country where women are not treated as equals. Take a position for or against this decision and support your position with reasoned arguments and citations and references to justify your premises. 1 Page answer .

Running head: DIVERSITY PLAN 1 DIVERSITY PLAN 6 Diversity Plan Student’s Name: John Blair Institution Affiliation Rasmussen College Report to CEO Diversity is a common feature that exists in most organizations. It is a characteristic that increases its prevalence as a company grows regarding hiring more members of its human resource workforce. Diversity also increases when a firm grows out of its current geographical scope. It is an unavoidable occurrence in every growing organization and therefore, it is crucial for managers and CEO's to understand the importance of learning how to control the effects of diversity in their companies. When diversity is not managed adequately, it can cause adverse effects which may lead to the failure of an institution. This report offers insight on cultural diversity which one of the most prevalent types of diversity in firms. It also illustrates a plan on how to control the adverse effects of cultural diversity. Cultural diversity in the workplace Culture refers to a person's way of life. It encompasses an individual's heritage based on social patterns, acceptable behavior, beliefs, values, customs, norms, and attitude. All people have different cultures, and therefore cultural diversity is a standard feature. Even though people may come from the same home town, their culture may be different depending on how they were raised (Lambert, 2016). This phenomenon explains the existence of differences in personal cultures. This situation causes challenging situations in the workplace since the human resource managers of growing companies hire individuals from different regions. Cultural background is rarely considered while hiring employees into a company. The recruitment team in a firm considers the skills that a person has and the services that the worker can offer to the organization (Lambert, 2016). Therefore, the employees in most companies are from very diverse cultures. In some cases, this situation leads to conflicts between the workers. Importance of diversity planning Diversity planning refers to organizing ways in which people from different cultural backgrounds in the organization can unite and work to achieve a common organizational goal. It is crucial for a company to develop diversity planning to ensure that their workers are all committed to achieving common objectives of their firm. Diversity planning allows employees to share ideas that are instrumental in enhancing business processes in an organization (Price, & Nelson, 2018). Employees grow significantly when they are exposed to a variety of cultures. Therefore, diversity planning enables employees to gain much personal social growth effectively. Some of the workers can discover untapped talents and make use of .

2 Cross-Cultural BusinessLearning ObjectivesHelsinki, Finland—.docx

2 Cross-Cultural Business 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.

Cross-cultural organizational behavior is the study of how culture relates to behaviors and processes in organizations across cultures. It examines phenomena at the individual, group, and organizational levels and how they interact across cultures. Understanding cultural differences is important for effective cross-cultural communication and management. Hofstede's model of culture identifies factors like power distance, individualism, and uncertainty avoidance that influence organizational culture and employee behaviors differently across cultures. Managing cross-cultural challenges requires understanding different communication styles, cultural values, and effective cross-cultural communication strategies.

This document discusses the evolution of globalism and culturally competent leadership. It notes that while 20 years ago leadership texts focused on Americans leading international companies, today it is recognized that leadership must appreciate diverse cultures from around the world. Culturally competent leaders value differences, respond positively to diversity, and possess skills like understanding contexts and nuances. They exhibit styles like servant leadership that value all people. As globalization increases, leadership requires understanding cultures within one's own organization and globally in order to create opportunities and fulfill goals across nations and societies.

What is the cultural environment? A deliberately vague and broad term to describe the affectual, felt, and emotional makeup of particular spaces created by physical, social, and/or cultural environments and presence/absence of other humans and/or nonhumans. From: International Encyclopedia of Human Geography (Second Edition), 2020. Elements are - language, social norms, religion, ethics, socio economics, mores, traditions, societal regulations, nationalism, aesthetics, material culture, attitudes, values, social organisation. How does culture affect environment? Research suggests that perceived group values impact an individual's behaviour towards the environment. In cultures that have a strong collectivistic orientation, the perception of either strong egoistic or biospheric group values can lead to pro-environmental benefits or mitigate environmental harms.

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 connections 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 include 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 the national cultures wi ...

Cultural Intelligence: Bridging the Cultural Differences in the Emerging Markets

JIANGUANGLUNG DANGMEI

In the emerging markets, cross border management has become a big challenge among the organizations. Researchers have suggested that a high IQ and emotional intelligence may not be sufficient to successfully handle the global situations, interaction and complexity tasks for an organization due to diversity in cultures. As organizations rely on the emerging markets for revenue growth and expansion, they need to familiarize with different cultures and need to communicate well with other cultures. If these cultural differences are not well managed, misunderstanding and conflict may rise in the business across the world and organizations could be at risk if management fails to deal with the cultural difference. Fortunately, researchers have recognized that cultural intelligence is a critical factor to overcome the challenges of cultural differences. The realities of contemporary organizations demonstrated that cultural intelligence has vital implications for individuals and organizations in the globalization as cultural diversities require organizations to interact with people from a variety of backgrounds. When the cultural diversity is handled properly by incorporating cultural intelligence in the organizations, it will be a competitive advantage for the organizations. Organizations operating in the cross border business now need to incorporate cultural intelligence to overcome the challenges of cultural differences in the emerging markets.

Core Competencies of an Effective Cross-Cultural ManagerCross-cu.docx

voversbyobersby

Core Competencies of an Effective Cross-Cultural Manager Cross-cultural management broadly involves handling workforce teams comprised of people of diverse backgrounds. Though usually considered ethnocentric, as we have discovered, one's "culture" is an amalgamation of the individuals, groups, environments and experiences that have shaped thoughts, perceptions, values, and beliefs. To manage diversity, organizations take action through formal and informal structures that are designed to create greater inclusion of employees. This effort includes implementation of deliberate policies and programs that support an inclusive workplace strategy. In addition, managers and leaders of diverse teams must be developed to be culturally competent as well as educated on laws and precedents related to workplace discrimination and appropriateness. Based on what you have learned thus far in the course, What do you believe to be the three essential core competencies of an effective cross-cultural manager in today's global environment? To receive full credit, your post must be thorough (no less than 300 words), citations should be included when appropriate, and responses to at least two of your classmates are necessary.

Being to communicate and work with people across cultures is becoming more important all the time, since Communication skills are very important, building connections with people, expressing yourself and understanding the views of multiple audiences.
