Participate in a Culture Walk: One way to observe the culture in your organization is to take a walk through the building to look at some of the signs of culture. For example: How is space allocated? Where are the offices located? Are supervisors located on the top floors or integrated throughout with the other employees? These types of nonverbal cues give a glimpse of the accepted culture of the organization. For this project, apply concepts of culture as discussed in the reading. Remember, although this project asks for your experience and insights, its main objective is for you to apply the text readings and course concepts to your day to day life within an organization. Do not forget to add text material to support your points and cite your sources with in text citations and a Reference page in proper APA format. The essay should be 700–800 words and include the following elements with details, explanations and examples using the text material to support points. Explain which of the three main approaches to organizational culture covered in the reading (practical, interpretive, critical- postmodern) would fit best to describe the culture of your organization. How does the main view of organizational culture identified (practical, interpretive, critical- postmodern) affect the communication of the organization? How is space allocated? Is there a distinction between the location and size of the office depending on the level of authority in the organization? What types of things are posted on bulletin boards or displayed on walls? What artifacts are displayed on desks or in other areas of the building? Are family photos or other personal items allowed? How are common areas such as lunch rooms utilized? Are people grouped or integrated? How do employees communicate with each other? Is the communication predominately formal or informal? What is said in memos or e-mail? What tones are used in the messages (formal or informal, pleasant or hostile, etc.)? How often do people communicate with one another? Is all communication written (e-mail), or do people communicate verbally? How is information distributed? Is there a clear delineation of those who are “in the know” (meaning they are given company information) and those who are not “in the know?” Do employees socialize outside of the workplace? Are they encouraged or discouraged to do so? What are the rituals that are followed? Who are the heroines and heroes that are held up as role models? What dominant social culture can you identify? What co-cultures can you identify? Provide an overall conclusion on what you noticed about your organization’s culture and if that changed (or maintained) your perception of the organization in general. .

Evaluating messages or images of different types of texts reflecting different culturesObjective This activity is designed to help you brainstorm a .docx
Objective:
This activity is designed to help you brainstorm a topic for your final project. You should be able to use material from your response to help you research relevant communication theories.
Background:
Please begin this exercise by reading the following information carefully.
In general, we use theories as a way to approach knowledge, test it, and find out more about it. Your final project in this class will require you to apply communication theory to identifying, describing, analyzing, and resolving a real-world communication problem that you are experiencing or have experienced in the context of the workplace.* For this discussion, you will begin the process of developing your final project by collaborating with your classmates on brainstorming communication problems in your workplace that a communication theory could explain and resolve.
Visualize your workplace for a few moments. Are their conflicts? Are there cliques? Do some managers engage in power trips? How does everyone get along? A workplace is the sum of many different formal and informal
relationships
that influence and define its communication channels. In most work settings, people are identified by titles and roles: accounting supervisor, intern, customer service representative, and so on. These roles combine to create
formal communication
—interaction that follows officially established channels.
There are three types of formal communication within all but the smallest organizations (Adler & Elmhorst, 2002; Sanchez, 1999). In
upward communication,
subordinates communicate with their bosses. Topics for upward communication include progress reports, problems, and suggestions for improvement. In
downward communication,
managers address messages to subordinates, such as instructions and feedback.
Horizontal communication
occurs between people who do not have direct supervisor-subordinate relationships. These types of messages include task coordination, information sharing, and conflict resolution.
Informal communication
in organizations grows out of friendships, shared personal or career interests, and proximity. The messages shared through these networks of relationships within an organization can confirm, contradict, expand upon, or help an employee circumvent information relayed through the formal communication channels. Workers must navigate between formal and informal communication within a relationship. For example, your boss might drop by your desk to share some office gossip with you—and a few minutes later take you aside to talk about a project underway. Modern employers are seeking job candidates who demonstrate
communication competence
, the knowledge of effective and appropriate communication patterns (Spitzberg, 2000) and the ability to use and adapt that knowledge in various contexts (Cooley & Roach, 1984).
To understand the dimensions of communication competence, consider how you might handle everyday communication challenges, such as.

Solution
Culture of a society means the way people do things living in a society. This varies from place to
place to a large level. People living in a society will have different cultures, customs, behaviours,
language which can become a barrier if not tackled in the right way.
It is important for an international manager to understand it because of the trend of globalising
the business in international market. When the business is expanded to different places problems
are faced to understand the culture of that place and adjust to make variations according to the
existing culture of the place. For example the most important cultural barrier c.

Social responsibility includes intercultural competence, knowled.docx
Social responsibility includes intercultural competence, knowledge of civic responsibility, and the ability to engage effectively in regional, national, and global communities, including the workplace. These skills are rated highest as desirable skills among hiring managers.
Intercultural competence includes
:
Knowledge of your own culture and how it has shaped your world view.
Knowledge of significant characteristics of other cultures.
Awareness of differences and similarities in cultures.
Ability to adjust your actions to successfully interact with someone of another culture.
How do we continuously improve our intercultural competence? First, by understanding that intercultural competence is complex, and it requires growing and maturing in three areas: mind set, heart set, and skill set.
Mindset
is the domain where as we learn and engage with others, we recognize similarities and differences. A growth mind set requires self-awareness and cultural awareness.
Heart set
is the domain where we learn to acknowledge, appreciate, and accept cultural differences. There are six dimensions to your heart set:
Self esteem
Self-monitoring
Empathy
Open mindedness
Reserved judgment
Social relaxation
Listening
Skill set
involves our intercultural agility; the ability to adjust your actions to successfully interact with someone of another culture. Specific skills include message skills, appropriate self-disclosure, behavioral flexibility, and interaction management.

SUMMARIZE SWALES’S
CHARACTERISTICS
One strategy:
•
Introduce a characteristic (w/citation)
•
Explain characteristic (w/citation)
•
Provide examples
Ex. Swales requires “specific lexis” of any group th
at might be called a discou
rse community (222). He
does not rule out terms that can be used in other
contexts (222). For instance, a group of roommates
might be just as concerned with parking as a communi
ty of factory workers, and words related to that
idea can be found in both communities. His em
phasis, however, is on “shared and specialized
terminology” as a way to understand group dynami
cs through communicative formats (222). It would
be more valuable, for example, to know that in Professor Myers’s class, “DCA” is a common
abbreviation for a major assignment than to know that
instructor uses the phrase “freak out” frequently.

The Sociology of Me
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 3: Explain the significance of social stratification and social inequality for the individual and society.
Evaluate one's own educational experience from a sociological perspective.
Explain sociological issues that affect one's own field of study.
Competency 4: Analyze the influence of culture and socialization on both the individual and society.
Examine the impact of culture and socialization on one's own life.
Competency 5: Evaluate the impact of social change on society and social institutions.
Evaluate the impact of social structure and groups on one's own life.
Evaluate the role of technology and media in one's own life.
Competency 6: Demonstrate written and verbal communication skills for effectively presenting sociological concepts, ideas, and analyses.
Write in a professional style using APA 6th edition referencing and format with correct grammar, usage, and mechanics.
Mills tells us of the intersection between public issues and private troubles. Throughout the course we have learned to use our sociological imagination to understand this difference—especially in terms of our own lives.
For your final project you will reflect on the question, "Who am I?" using the sociological imagination to understand and explain your everyday experiences. In doing so, you will look at the impact of social forces on your individual life. This requires you to apply the concepts, theories, and applicable sociological understandings that you have encountered in the course.
To successfully complete this assignment, you will write a paper with these components:
Introduction:
Introduce yourself and what you plan on discussing in your paper.
Culture and Socialization:
Examine the impact culture and socialization has had on your life. Consider the following when creating this section:
How did you develop a sense of self?
What agents of socialization had the biggest impact on you? How?
How has culture influenced your life?
Social Structure and Groups:
Discuss the impact social structure and groups have had on your life. Considering the following:
How have various groups (primary, secondary, reference, etc.) guided your behavior?
What statuses have you held? What roles have you played?
How have social hierarchies shaped your life choices?
Education:
Discuss how a sociologist would explain your experience with education. In doing so, consider the following:
What major functions have education had for you?
How has education been related to your life outcomes?
What experiences with inequality have you had in education?
Professional Field:
Discuss the main sociological issues that affect your field of study or the field you intend to study at this point in your education. Be sure to include any social changes that may impac.

1 The Concept of OrganizationalCultureOrganizational cul.docx
1 The Concept of Organizational
Culture
Organizational culture is one of the major issues in academic research and
education, in organization theory as well as in management practice. There are good
reasons for this: the cultural dimension is central in all aspects of organizational
life. Even in those organizations where cultural issues receive little explicit atten-
tion, how people in a company think, feel, value and act are guided by ideas,
meanings and beliefs of a cultural (socially shared) nature. Whether managers
think that culture is too soft or too complicated to bother about or whether there
is no unique corporate culture does not reduce the significance of culture. Senior
organizational members are always, in one way or another, ‘managing culture’ –
underscoring what is important and what is less so and framing how the corpo-
rate world should be understood. Organizations practising intensive ‘numbers
management’ may develop and reproduce a culture celebrating performance indi-
cators and rituals around the handling of these. In most contemporary organiza-
tions, corporate culture receives a lot of attention and is seen as crucial. However,
even in those cases where top managers have a strong awareness of the signifi-
cance of culture, there is often a lack of a deeper understanding of how people
and organizations function in terms of culture. Culture is as significant and com-
plex as it is difficult to understand and ‘use’ in a thoughtful way. Awareness of
and interest in culture vary between managers and companies. It is often difficult
to attain a high level of cultural awareness to guide actions. The interest in quick
fixes in much management writings and thinking is unhelpful. Instead a well
elaborated framework and a vocabulary in which core concepts – culture, mean-
ing, symbolism – are sorted out is necessary for understanding and for qualified
organizational practice by consultants, managers and others.
It is tempting to emphasize the significance of corporate cultures for perfor-
mance, growth and success. In the beginning of the 1980s books identifying char-
acteristics of excellent companies in the USA (Peters and Waterman, 1982) and
the secrets behind the at the time highly successful Japanese companies (e.g.
Ouchi, 1981) highlighted corporate culture. These books, in combination with
journalistic writings, created a widely spread belief of corporate cultures being
perhaps the significant factor behind the performance of companies. This belief
has been shaken by problems of many of the companies portrayed by Peters and
Waterman as ‘excellent’ some years after the publication of the book as well as
decreasing performances of Japanese companies during recent years. In addition,
others, more ‘rationalistic’ business recipes, have partly replaced culture and the
focus on ‘people’ as the latest fashion for companies and managers during the

CHAPTER 3Leadership, Culture, Communication, and Diversity
The word culture can mean different things to different people: Perhaps it conjures up images of fine art, museums, and orchestras. Or perhaps it is the word you use to
describe the shared patterns, behaviors, and artifacts of a country, region, or society. In
fact, culture does have different “layers” that interact. For example, macrocultures include
national, religious, ethnic, and occupational cultures that exist globally; organizational
cultures exist in private, public, nonprofit, and government arenas; subcultures are found
in occupational groups within organizations; and microcultures exist within occupations
inside and outside organizations (Schein, 2010).
In this chapter, we focus on organizational culture before examining how culture more
generally—in terms of countries, nationalities, ethnicities, and so on—can have broad
implications for leadership efficacy and success. While the first two chapters laid the
foundation for understanding the nature of leadership, these final three chapters show
how leaders influence and shape organizations to achieve goals through communication,
strategy, and teamwork. We begin this discussion with organizational culture because
it shares a mutually dependent relationship with these three dimensions: An organiza-
tion’s culture affects how people communicate, how strategy is developed and imple-
mented, and how people work in teams. Culture can also be defined in terms of these
three dimensions. It is arguably the most important internal organizational dimension.
This chapter will also cover what is perhaps the more common usage of culture—interna-
tional cultures—and how different cultures and globalization present opportunities and
challenges for leadership. Since organizational and national cultures are influenced by
global trends—for example, technology innovations, mergers and acquisitions, influx of
international workers, and a mix of diverse values—leaders and followers must be able to
accommodate such changes in their organizations and teams. Understanding culture has
a substantial payoff ...
Identity and RepresentationContext and DescriptionWhen we ar.docx
Identity and Representation
Context and Description
When we are asked about our identity, often we describe it in terms of the groups that we belong to, such as a sports team, club or other kinds of social groups. We may also mention our school, occupation or a specific workplace. We may think of our identity in terms of our gender, ethnicity or nationality. Where we live--the neighborhood or type of residence--may also influence our sense of who we are. The languages we speak in those groups also shapes our sense of who we are and how others see us. When we encounter a member of groups other than our own, sometimes it becomes necessary to reflect on and explain the values, assumptions and practices of the groups we belong to in order to resolve conflicts and to facilitate communication. Joining a new social group may also challenge those values, assumptions and practices that come from our pre-existing membership in other groups. The purpose of this project is to explore how identity is shaped, negotiated, and represented in relation to our membership in various groups.
Write an analytical essay that explores your identity in terms of your own group memberships. For this project, you may focus on any of the following:
the complex construction of identity through membership in various (and sometimes conflicting/competing) groups
how you represent your identity in relation to the social expectations or stereotypes of being a member of a group (expectations vs. reality)
the tension or struggle you encounter as a member of certain groups (e.g., how you represent yourself to others from different groups)
how entering a new, possibly unfamiliar group (for example, moving away from home and/or starting college) affects the values and assumptions you brought with you
As you explore your ideas, consider the following questions: What social groups do you belong to? How are these groups categorized (social groups, organizations, athletic teams, ethnic groups, or religious groups; by nationality, gender, neighborhoods, or communities)? What aspects of the group memberships are negotiable? Which ones are fixed or difficult to change? What aspects, characteristics, or expectations, if any, of these groups overlap with one another? Do they compete with one another? How are these groups perceived by people who are not members of those groups? Are there stereotypes associated with a certain group or groups you belong to? If so, what are they, and to what extent do you see those stereotypes occurring in others or yourself? How do those stereotypes affect you and people around you? How do your group memberships affect the ways in which you communicate with others? How do your memberships influence how you relate to others or how others relate to you?
Explore all possible communities to which you belong and look for the one or ones that seem to have the richest potential for exploring your cultural identity.

As you may have noticed as you have worked through earlier assessments, Sociology is applicable to our everyday lives. We can oftentimes take a sociological concept and use it to explain something that occurs in our own lives. For example, you have learned about norms and how we tend to follow the norms of a society. You can use that to explain how people behave when they are in an elevator. Most people face forward, look up at the numbers, and don't talk.
Many of your experiences can be analyzed using sociological concepts. For your final assessment, Assessment 6, you will complete a Sociology of Me and apply many of the concepts you have learned about in this course to your own life. For Assessment 5, begin to think about which concepts you would like to apply to your own experience, develop an outline, and identify appropriate resources. In order to complete this assessment, you will need to show your understanding of some additional concepts related to social structure, education, and technology/media.
We have learned how a society's culture can influence people. There are other elements in society, however, that also affect our decisions and behavior. Sociological research has found that in addition to culture, social structure and groups also significantly impact many of our individual choices. Our position in the social structure affects our behaviors, attitudes, and ideas. For example, an important element of social structure are groups. We belong to a variety of different groups. Decades of research have documented the impact of group conformity on the individual. Although people tend to often believe that they act as individuals and aren't impacted by others, research has found this is usually not the case. The Milgram experiment in your Resources is a great example. Milgram (1963) examined conformity and obedience and found that people are highly influenced by authority and the demands of conformity, even to the point that we will inflict pain on another person to obey authority.
Sociologists also study education and how it is impacted by a society's culture and structure. The purpose of education is to provide knowledge (facts, skills, cultural norms) to members of a society. In the United States, education teaches us not just skills, but also how to be effective citizens. Education transmits the dominant culture, ensuring that children understand cultural norms and values. Educational attainment impacts life outcomes—it affects our occupation, earnings, work conditions, and health. Thus, education is related to social inequality. We have a tendency to assume that education is an equalizer in the United States, but this is something that is debated by sociologists. Is education equally available to everyone? Studies suggest it is not. Social class can impa.

If we understand the dynamics of culture, we will be less likely to be puzzled, irritated, and anxious when we encounter the unfamiliar and
seemingly irrational behavior of people in organizations, and we will have a deeper understanding not only of why various groups of people or
organizations can be so different but also why it is so hard to change them. Even more important, if we understand culture better, we will
understand ourselves better and recognize some of the forces acting within us that define who we are. We will then understand that our
personality and character reflect the groups that socialized us and the groups with which we identify and to which we want to .

Company Overview:
Company A has hired your team because you are experts in defining a process and delivering projects on time. Company A has only been in business for ten years, and they have experienced a large turnover in the project management area;which has prompted senior leadership to investigate.
Senior leadership has determined that Project Managers are frustrated with the amount of required documentation, which has impacted their ability to successfully manage projects. In addition, project budgets are coming in over budget, and projects are being delivered late, also resulting in PMs' inability to meet performance guidelines.
A recent review of the current process has determined that Company A has spent between 30-40% of its total project budget on projects' overhead costs to include project management costs, which are typically between 20-25%. Project Management overhead includes the PM's time to manage the project, attend meetings, and develop the required documentation.
Company A has hired your team to create a new project management process to meet the strategic goals and ensure the project meets the financial objectives.
Goals of the new process
The company must have a view into total life cycle project costs to include what has been spent to date, baseline budget, any changes to the budget, remaining budget, and cost of the project at completion

Social responsibility includes intercultural competence, knowled.docx
Social responsibility includes intercultural competence, knowledge of civic responsibility, and the ability to engage effectively in regional, national, and global communities, including the workplace. These skills are rated highest as desirable skills among hiring managers.
Intercultural competence includes
:
Knowledge of your own culture and how it has shaped your world view.
Knowledge of significant characteristics of other cultures.
Awareness of differences and similarities in cultures.
Ability to adjust your actions to successfully interact with someone of another culture.
How do we continuously improve our intercultural competence? First, by understanding that intercultural competence is complex, and it requires growing and maturing in three areas: mind set, heart set, and skill set.
Mindset
is the domain where as we learn and engage with others, we recognize similarities and differences. A growth mind set requires self-awareness and cultural awareness.
Heart set
is the domain where we learn to acknowledge, appreciate, and accept cultural differences. There are six dimensions to your heart set:
Self esteem
Self-monitoring
Empathy
Open mindedness
Reserved judgment
Social relaxation
Listening
Skill set
involves our intercultural agility; the ability to adjust your actions to successfully interact with someone of another culture. Specific skills include message skills, appropriate self-disclosure, behavioral flexibility, and interaction management.

1 The Concept of OrganizationalCultureOrganizational cul.docx
1 The Concept of Organizational
Culture
Organizational culture is one of the major issues in academic research and
education, in organization theory as well as in management practice. There are good
reasons for this: the cultural dimension is central in all aspects of organizational
life. Even in those organizations where cultural issues receive little explicit atten-
tion, how people in a company think, feel, value and act are guided by ideas,
meanings and beliefs of a cultural (socially shared) nature. Whether managers
think that culture is too soft or too complicated to bother about or whether there
is no unique corporate culture does not reduce the significance of culture. Senior
organizational members are always, in one way or another, ‘managing culture’ –
underscoring what is important and what is less so and framing how the corpo-
rate world should be understood. Organizations practising intensive ‘numbers
management’ may develop and reproduce a culture celebrating performance indi-
cators and rituals around the handling of these. In most contemporary organiza-
tions, corporate culture receives a lot of attention and is seen as crucial. However,
even in those cases where top managers have a strong awareness of the signifi-
cance of culture, there is often a lack of a deeper understanding of how people
and organizations function in terms of culture. Culture is as significant and com-
plex as it is difficult to understand and ‘use’ in a thoughtful way. Awareness of
and interest in culture vary between managers and companies. It is often difficult
to attain a high level of cultural awareness to guide actions. The interest in quick
fixes in much management writings and thinking is unhelpful. Instead a well
elaborated framework and a vocabulary in which core concepts – culture, mean-
ing, symbolism – are sorted out is necessary for understanding and for qualified
organizational practice by consultants, managers and others.
It is tempting to emphasize the significance of corporate cultures for perfor-
mance, growth and success. In the beginning of the 1980s books identifying char-
acteristics of excellent companies in the USA (Peters and Waterman, 1982) and
the secrets behind the at the time highly successful Japanese companies (e.g.
Ouchi, 1981) highlighted corporate culture. These books, in combination with
journalistic writings, created a widely spread belief of corporate cultures being
perhaps the significant factor behind the performance of companies. This belief
has been shaken by problems of many of the companies portrayed by Peters and
Waterman as ‘excellent’ some years after the publication of the book as well as
decreasing performances of Japanese companies during recent years. In addition,
others, more ‘rationalistic’ business recipes, have partly replaced culture and the
focus on ‘people’ as the latest fashion for companies and managers during the

CHAPTER 3Leadership, Culture, Communication, and Diversity
The word culture can mean different things to different people: Perhaps it conjures up images of fine art, museums, and orchestras. Or perhaps it is the word you use to
describe the shared patterns, behaviors, and artifacts of a country, region, or society. In
fact, culture does have different “layers” that interact. For example, macrocultures include
national, religious, ethnic, and occupational cultures that exist globally; organizational
cultures exist in private, public, nonprofit, and government arenas; subcultures are found
in occupational groups within organizations; and microcultures exist within occupations
inside and outside organizations (Schein, 2010).
In this chapter, we focus on organizational culture before examining how culture more
generally—in terms of countries, nationalities, ethnicities, and so on—can have broad
implications for leadership efficacy and success. While the first two chapters laid the
foundation for understanding the nature of leadership, these final three chapters show
how leaders influence and shape organizations to achieve goals through communication,
strategy, and teamwork. We begin this discussion with organizational culture because
it shares a mutually dependent relationship with these three dimensions: An organiza-
tion’s culture affects how people communicate, how strategy is developed and imple-
mented, and how people work in teams. Culture can also be defined in terms of these
three dimensions. It is arguably the most important internal organizational dimension.
This chapter will also cover what is perhaps the more common usage of culture—interna-
tional cultures—and how different cultures and globalization present opportunities and
challenges for leadership. Since organizational and national cultures are influenced by
global trends—for example, technology innovations, mergers and acquisitions, influx of
international workers, and a mix of diverse values—leaders and followers must be able to
accommodate such changes in their organizations and teams. Understanding culture has
a substantial payoff ...
Identity and RepresentationContext and DescriptionWhen we ar.docx
Identity and Representation
Context and Description
When we are asked about our identity, often we describe it in terms of the groups that we belong to, such as a sports team, club or other kinds of social groups. We may also mention our school, occupation or a specific workplace. We may think of our identity in terms of our gender, ethnicity or nationality. Where we live--the neighborhood or type of residence--may also influence our sense of who we are. The languages we speak in those groups also shapes our sense of who we are and how others see us. When we encounter a member of groups other than our own, sometimes it becomes necessary to reflect on and explain the values, assumptions and practices of the groups we belong to in order to resolve conflicts and to facilitate communication. Joining a new social group may also challenge those values, assumptions and practices that come from our pre-existing membership in other groups. The purpose of this project is to explore how identity is shaped, negotiated, and represented in relation to our membership in various groups.
Write an analytical essay that explores your identity in terms of your own group memberships. For this project, you may focus on any of the following:
the complex construction of identity through membership in various (and sometimes conflicting/competing) groups
how you represent your identity in relation to the social expectations or stereotypes of being a member of a group (expectations vs. reality)
the tension or struggle you encounter as a member of certain groups (e.g., how you represent yourself to others from different groups)
how entering a new, possibly unfamiliar group (for example, moving away from home and/or starting college) affects the values and assumptions you brought with you
As you explore your ideas, consider the following questions: What social groups do you belong to? How are these groups categorized (social groups, organizations, athletic teams, ethnic groups, or religious groups; by nationality, gender, neighborhoods, or communities)? What aspects of the group memberships are negotiable? Which ones are fixed or difficult to change? What aspects, characteristics, or expectations, if any, of these groups overlap with one another? Do they compete with one another? How are these groups perceived by people who are not members of those groups? Are there stereotypes associated with a certain group or groups you belong to? If so, what are they, and to what extent do you see those stereotypes occurring in others or yourself? How do those stereotypes affect you and people around you? How do your group memberships affect the ways in which you communicate with others? How do your memberships influence how you relate to others or how others relate to you?
Explore all possible communities to which you belong and look for the one or ones that seem to have the richest potential for exploring your cultural identity.

Develop a 3-5 page outline of concepts you would like to apply to your own life and identify relevant scholarly sources that will help you with your application of concepts.
As you may have noticed as you have worked through earlier assessments, Sociology is applicable to our everyday lives. We can oftentimes take a sociological concept and use it to explain something that occurs in our own lives. For example, you have learned about norms and how we tend to follow the norms of a society. You can use that to explain how people behave when they are in an elevator. Most people face forward, look up at the numbers, and don't talk.
Many of your experiences can be analyzed using sociological concepts. For your final assessment, Assessment 6, you will complete a Sociology of Me and apply many of the concepts you have learned about in this course to your own life. For Assessment 5, begin to think about which concepts you would like to apply to your own experience, develop an outline, and identify appropriate resources. In order to complete this assessment, you will need to show your understanding of some additional concepts related to social structure, education, and technology/media.
We have learned how a society's culture can influence people. There are other elements in society, however, that also affect our decisions and behavior. Sociological research has found that in addition to culture, social structure and groups also significantly impact many of our individual choices. Our position in the social structure affects our behaviors, attitudes, and ideas. For example, an important element of social structure are groups. We belong to a variety of different groups. Decades of research have documented the impact of group conformity on the individual. Although people tend to often believe that they act as individuals and aren't impacted by others, research has found this is usually not the case. The Milgram experiment in your Resources is a great example. Milgram (1963) examined conformity and obedience and found that people are highly influenced by authority and the demands of conformity, even to the point that we will inflict pain on another person to obey authority.
Sociologists also study education and how it is impacted by a society's culture and structure. The purpose of education is to provide knowledge (facts, skills, cultural norms) to members of a society. In the United States, education teaches us not just skills, but also how to be effective citizens. Education transmits the dominant culture, ensuring that children understand cultural norms and values. Educational attainment impacts life outcomes—it affects our occupation, earnings, work conditions, and health. Thus, education is related to social inequality. We have a tendency to assume that education is an equalizer in the United States, but this is something that is debated by sociologists. Is education equally available to everyone? Studies suggest it is not. Social class can impa.

3 Leadership, Culture, Communication, and Diversity
The word culture can mean different things to different people: Perhaps it conjures up images of fine art, museums, and orchestras. Or perhaps it is the word you use
to describe the shared patterns, behaviors, and artifacts of a country, region, or society. In fact, culture does have different "layers" that interact. For example,
macrocultures include national, religious, ethnic, and occupational cultures that exist globally; organizational cultures exist in private, public, nonprofit, and
government arenas; subcultures are found in occupational groups within organizations; and microcultures exist within occupations inside and outside organizations
(Schein, 2010).
In this chapter, we focus on organizational culture before examining how culture more generally—in terms of countries, nationalities, ethnicities, and so on—can have
broad implications for leadership efficacy and success. While the first two chapters laid the foundation for understanding the nature of leadership, these final three
chapters show how leaders influence and shape organizations to achieve goals through communication, strategy, and teamwork. We begin this discussion with
organizational culture because it shares a mutually dependent relationship with these three dimensions: An organization's culture affects how people communicate,
how strategy is developed and implemented, and how people work in teams. Culture can also be defined in terms of these three dimensions. It is arguably the most
important internal organizational dimension. This chapter will also cover what is perhaps the more common usage of culture—international cultures—and how
different cultures and globalization present opportunities and challenges for leadership. Since organizational and national cultures are influenced by global trends—for
example, technology innovations, mergers and acquisitions, influx of international workers, and a mix of diverse values—leaders and followers must be able to
accommodate such changes in their organizations and teams. Understanding culture has a substantial payoff for everyone:
If we understand the dynamics of culture, we will be less likely to be puzzled, irritated, and anxious when we encounter the unfamiliar and
seemingly irrational behavior of people in organizations, and we will have a deeper understanding not only of why various groups of people or
organizations can be so different but also why it is so hard to change them. Even more important, if we understand culture better, we will
understand ourselves better and recognize some of the forces acting within us that define who we are. We will then understand that our
personality and character reflect the groups that socialized us and the groups with which we identify and to which we want to .

Company Overview:
Company A has hired your team because you are experts in defining a process and delivering projects on time. Company A has only been in business for ten years, and they have experienced a large turnover in the project management area;which has prompted senior leadership to investigate.
Senior leadership has determined that Project Managers are frustrated with the amount of required documentation, which has impacted their ability to successfully manage projects. In addition, project budgets are coming in over budget, and projects are being delivered late, also resulting in PMs' inability to meet performance guidelines.
A recent review of the current process has determined that Company A has spent between 30-40% of its total project budget on projects' overhead costs to include project management costs, which are typically between 20-25%. Project Management overhead includes the PM's time to manage the project, attend meetings, and develop the required documentation.
Company A has hired your team to create a new project management process to meet the strategic goals and ensure the project meets the financial objectives.
Goals of the new process
The company must have a view into total life cycle project costs to include what has been spent to date, baseline budget, any changes to the budget, remaining budget, and cost of the project at completion
The company must have a view into the project activities to include what has been completed, what is remaining

The United States Supreme Court has recognized that "[t]he vigilant protection of constitutional freedoms is nowhere more vital than in the community of American schools."1 The Court has repeatedly noted the importance of First Amendment protection in the school context, although often at the same time recognizing the power of school officials to control conduct in the schools.2 The Court, in an oft-quoted statement, noted:
It can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate. This has been the unmistakable holding of this Court for almost 50 years … On the other hand, the Court has repeatedly emphasized the need for affirming the comprehensive authority of the States and of school officials, consistent with fundamental constitutional safeguards, to prescribe and contro.

Communicate differences: It is an important responsibility of manager to communicate differences in order to set a culture of compromise and adjustment with in two different cultures.
State cultural agenda: After merger, it is important to state cultural objective and agenda in order to clarify the cultural expectations and to set a unified behavioral norm and pattern.
Encourage share values: It is not good to throw everything of pre-existing culture and change everything after merger (Shrivastava, 1986). It is better to work on the base of common operating principles and use the concept of shared values as well as standardized process.
Increase synergies: The basic logic behind merger of two companies is to increase the synergies through efficient operations. By combining the operations and values of two companies, a greater sum can be achieve (Søderberg & Holden, 2002).
Communicate expectations: By communicating expectations of merger with employees, a unified cooperating culture can be set (Kumar, 2000).

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic Imperative
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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
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

Participate in a Culture Walk One way to observe the culture in y.docx
- 1. Participate in a Culture Walk: One way to observe the culture in your organization is to take a walk through the building to look at some of the signs of culture. For example: How is space allocated? Where are the offices located? Are supervisors located on the top floors or integrated throughout with the other employees? These types of nonverbal cues give a glimpse of the accepted culture of the organization. For this project, apply concepts of culture as discussed in the reading. Remember, although this project asks for your experience and insights, its main objective is for you to apply the text readings and course concepts to your day to day life within an organization. Do not forget to add text material to support your points and cite your sources with in text citations and a Reference page in proper APA format. The essay should be 700–800 words and include the following elements with details, explanations and examples using the text material to support points. Explain which of the three main approaches to organizational culture covered in the reading (practical, interpretive, critical- postmodern) would fit best to describe the culture of your organization. How does the main view of organizational culture identified (practical, interpretive, critical- postmodern) affect the communication of the organization? How is space allocated? Is there a distinction between the location and size of the office depending on the level of authority in the organization? What types of things are posted on bulletin boards or displayed on walls? What artifacts are displayed on desks or in other areas of the building? Are family photos or other personal items allowed? How are common areas such as lunch rooms utilized? Are people grouped or integrated? How do employees communicate with each other? Is the
- 2. communication predominately formal or informal? What is said in memos or e-mail? What tones are used in the messages (formal or informal, pleasant or hostile, etc.)? How often do people communicate with one another? Is all communication written (e-mail), or do people communicate verbally? How is information distributed? Is there a clear delineation of those who are “in the know” (meaning they are given company information) and those who are not “in the know?” Do employees socialize outside of the workplace? Are they encouraged or discouraged to do so? What are the rituals that are followed? Who are the heroines and heroes that are held up as role models? What dominant social culture can you identify? What co-cultures can you identify? Provide an overall conclusion on what you noticed about your organization’s culture and if that changed (or maintained) your perception of the organization in general.
