In the early 1980s, Hofstede's framework included only 4 cultural dimensions. It later came to include two additional dimensions: Time Orientation and Indulgence. This presentation describes how Time Orientation came to be added to the framework. Initially, Time Orientation was known as "Confucian Work Dynamism". Time Orientation emerged thanks to Prof. Geert Hofstede's collaboration with Prof. Michael Harris Bond.
This chapter discusses how consumer behavior is influenced by situational factors. It identifies four main types of situations - communication, purchase, usage, and disposal situations. It also categorizes situational influences into five dimensions: physical surroundings, social surroundings, temporal perspectives, task definition, and antecedent states. The chapter provides examples of each dimension and discusses their implications for marketing strategy, including developing a situational influence matrix and segmenting markets based on usage situations.
Sushil booked a table for 12 people at Moti Restaurant for a Diwali celebration dinner. He later increased the booking to 16 people but when he and his party of 16 arrived, the restaurant had only set a table for 12. The restaurant manager denied that Sushil had called to increase the booking. Due to the full restaurant, only 12 could be seated initially while the others had to wait. The poor service damaged Sushil's relationship with the restaurant and its manager.

brand building and service marketing at banyan tree hotels and resortssaurabh

Presentation by Peter Jones at RSD4 Banff, Alberta, 2015. Society can be defined as an object of culture, as culture is a medium for the collective development of social systems. Societies are not designed by a deliberative process, but are social entities that emerge over time as response to historicity and cultural development, and function largely by tacit agreement as observed in social norms.
In the 1960’s social systemicists such as Ozbekhan, Fuller, and Doxiadis advocated deliberative civic planning as a normative science for designing sustainable and preferable societies and settlements. Even though their original methodologies of normative planning (Ozbekhan), anticipatory design science (Fuller) and ekistics (Doxiadis) did not gain the results hoped in applications over time, these arguments could be lodged against most systems methodologies. Yet when we consider their views of the human capacity to design future outcomes as a serious social and political project, we in our fragmented polities in the postmodern era might take heed. An argument follows that we, as cultural innovators in our own societies, having access to the wisdom of successful past transitions or redirections, have also failed to motivate and enact changes requisite to our common concerns.
A systemic design approach is proposed toward constructing such idealizations as a necessary initial condition. The approach reconciles wisdom from our sociocultural histories with collaborative design practices of the current era to construct shared pathways to desired and feasible societal futures.
This document discusses the history and principles of Design for All. It began in 1987 with the goal of enhancing quality of life for disabled people.

Research at 360°: the novel mission of disseminationSara Tortorella
Keynote speech at the XXVI congress of the Italian Chemical Society (SCI) about the importance of research dissemination.
Communication, dissemination and exploitation are three key activities increasingly required to researchers when presenting their projects for grant applications (e.g., Horizon2020).
These requirements include not only traditional publications in peer-reviewed journals or attendance at national and international conferences, but also innovative way of disseminating research including social media, websites, video, conferences, event, and exhibitions.
As a consequence, researchers are required to prove additional skills that are, however, usually poorly transferred during traditional undergraduate and postgraduate programs. Moreover, such activities can be very time consuming.
In light of this, different questions arise:
• Why should we do that?
• How should we do that?
• Where can we acquire such communication skills?
Trying to address these issues, general guidelines for an effective dissemination strategy will be proposed.
Special consideration will be given to young researchers and novel tools - such as social media - and contexts - such as science festivals - to communicate their research activities, and advises and warnings to improve the success rate will be discussed.
Finally, examples and inspirations on how to integrate the mission of dissemination into the daily life of successful researchers will be presented, with the aim of demonstrating that it can turn out to be a unique opportunity to ultimately complete our mission as scientists.

Knowing what needs to be done and achieving it are dramatically different things. While there’s general consensus that carefully and deliberately establishing and articulating a content strategy for a product, an organization, or an enterprise is a good thing, execution remains an elusive holy grail.
We’ll take a look at real challenges—logistic, political, technical—faced as one organization in a Fortune 300 company undertook to develop what Ann Rockley first described as a “unified content strategy,” across functional groups (documentation, training, knowledge management functional organizations) and divergent content. We’ll discuss techniques and strategies such as:
• Emphasizing common goal of client/user satisfaction to unite groups with different historical foci
• Employing data-driven decision making–to ensure good decisions but also to relieve organizational bias

This document provides an overview of AIESEC's national project in Indonesia from 2014-2018 focused on either waste management or healthy lifestyles.
The project aims to have a positive social impact by engaging youth and increasing awareness of environmental issues or healthy behaviors. Detailed targets are provided for participant numbers and engagement metrics to be achieved each year at the local and national level.
The success of the project is defined through clear visions and measures of decreasing waste or diseases. Strategies include information sessions, competitions, exhibitions and partnerships to influence behavior change. Roles within AIESEC are connected to the three wheels of change: global youth voice, first choice partner, and positive impact.
Raivio stakeholder engagement in future earthIina Koskinen
This document discusses stakeholder engagement in Future Earth. It outlines some guiding principles of Future Earth, including focusing on solutions-oriented research and co-design with societal partners. It proposes two ways to engage potential stakeholders: 1) Establishing a network of competence centers called "FE observatories" to facilitate interaction and co-design with stakeholders. 2) Establishing a network of national and regional observation stations to provide data to organizations like the UN and build scientific capacity. National and regional committees are seen as key to implementing these stakeholder engagement goals.

The Team Process Questionnaire (TPQ) measure interactions among team members.
It can be used with various types of teams:
-Action Learning Teams
-Cross-functional Teams
-Functional Teams
-Leadership Teams
-Project Teams
-Product Development Teams
-Process / System Development Teams
-Quality Assurance Teams
Global teams work virtually across boundaries such as language, culture, economic circumstances, geography, and time zones.
The Global Team Process Questionnaire (GTPQ) measures team members’ perceptions of communication, interaction with the leader, role and goal clarity, alignment with the organization, trust, etc. across differences in culture, language, time zones, etc.
The document discusses ITAP International's Organizational Team Process Questionnaire (OTPQ), which assesses domestic teams. The OTPQ measures team dynamics like communication, leadership, goals, and trust. It identifies strengths, weaknesses, and sources of misalignment. Team leaders receive reports analyzing issues and recommending solutions. Regular assessments track progress over time and allow cross-team comparisons. The goal is to support team effectiveness and development.
Is there an assessment tool that can assess DIFFERENT types of teams: global virtual teams, domestic (co-located) teams, and action learning teams?
ITAP International developed an assessment system that helps a variety of teams.
The system is called the Team Process QuestionnaireTM (TPQ). It has three components:
1. Global Team Process Questionnaire (GTPQ) for global and virtual teams
2. Organizational Team Process Questionnaire (OTPQ) for domestic (co-located) teams
3. Action Learning Team Process Questionnaire (ALTPQ) for action learning teams.
This presentation defines Action Learning and describes its origins. It then highlights the continued usefulness of Action Learning to individuals, teams and organizations. The example used comes from a power company in Florida.
The document discusses action learning and action learning teams. It describes how action learning helps organizations by solving previously unsolvable problems, making organizations more resilient, and driving change. Action learning creates cross-functional teams, builds learning organizations, and transforms culture. It is used to lead organizational change, develop talent, and break through barriers. Effective action learning teams are diverse, self-directed, and tackle real-world problems without relying on external leaders. The document also describes ITAP International's Action Learning Team Process Questionnaire which is a tool used to measure the effectiveness of action learning teams and identify areas for improvement.
Winning teams require investment. One key investment is assessing the team dynamics: the human process interactions among team members. How do team members' communicate? Are the roles clear? Is there trust? Do team members agree on successes and failures? ITAP's Team Process Questionnaire (TPQ) is a team assessment tool that offers deep insight into team dynamics. It is easy to administer: it takes 20 minutes to complete. This presentation offers examples of how the TPQ benefited ITAP's clients.
This is a case study of a global team composed of Filipinos and US American based on ITAP's experience with a number of global clients. It describes a team that suffers through many communication breakdowns, high attrition and missed deadlines. Team members' perceptions of each other suggest that the team could benefit from learning about each other's cultural background. Furthermore, the team members took ITAP's Team Process Questionnaire (TPQ), uncovering some problematic patterns of interaction among team members. ITAP's intervention led to a marked improvement in the team's performance.
An overview of ITAP services and capabilities. The examples highlight a client problem, the tool or service that ITAP offered, the solution to the client problem and the outcome.
The document discusses style switching and working effectively in a multicultural workplace. It describes analyzing cultural differences using Geert Hofstede's framework of six cultural dimensions. It provides examples of how differences in dimensions like individualism vs collectivism and short-term vs long-term orientation can cause challenges. It advises that style switching, such as adjusting one's communication style to be more inclusive or patient, can help overcome these challenges by aligning behavior with others' preferences.
Businesses rely on experts to intervene in situations in which organisational culture intersects with problems of power and control. While anthropologists are deeply interested in the linkages between culture and power, how does their critical approach align with organisational needs?
In "The Case of Comparative Quantitative Measures of Culture: The Many Dimensions of Geert Hofstede," John Bing describes insights from Geert Hofstede's quantitative research of cultural differences. It describes the six dimensions in Hofstede's framework: Individualism, Power Distance, Certainty, Achievement, Time Orientation and Indulgence. It features interesting data about the influence of age and education on national culture. It also includes a chart that maps individual results along two cultural dimensions: Individualism and Power Distance. Interestingly, results from New York City coalesce around the concept of Autonomy, or the overlap of Individual and Participative orientations. Results from Mumbai coalesce around the concept of Multi-Level Consultation, or the overlap of Group and Participative orientations.
