Course name: Cross Cultural Management Assignment 1 Module 1 - The Importance of Cross Cultural Management Objectives 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 Trom ...

This paper is based on the premise that for business organizations to succeed in our globalized, competitive international environment without a „globalized‟ culture, business managers need to have a sound and practical knowledge of cross boarder cultures. Believing, as Dewey (1938) long ago recognized that “there is nothing more practical than a good theory”, the paper identified from the professional literature and discussed seven theories of culture. The understanding of these cultural models would help the business manager to become more intelligent, culturally more sensitive to cultural differences, develop cultural competence and became more effective and efficient as he/she works to overcome cultural complexities that can negatively affect business and business profits.

MAKING INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS WORK: OUTLINE Commercial success through increased cultural understanding Diversity of thinking and respect for other peoples’ perspectives are critical virtues for the leadership of global corporations, and the successful interaction of businesspeople across cultures. Misunderstanding between team members of different nationalities, or with customers from different cultures, can cause extreme problems in business. This course is all about success through increased cultural understanding. It is a great help to anyone who: • Works with colleagues from a range of countries and cultural backgrounds • Deals with clients or colleagues in a range of other countries and cultures • Needs to solve cross-border commercial issues swiftly and effectively It is a distillation of all the best wisdom on the topic – the best writing, the most interesting interaction models, and the most informative anecdotes. In the morning, we cover: • What is culture? • How do national traits affect individual behaviour? • How do corporate cultures do the same? • What are the cultural characteristics of different nationalities? • How can they be used to deal effectively other cultures? • How can different characteristics be deployed in multi-cultural teams? • How does all this affect approaches to communication, decision-making, meeting etiquette, negotiation styles, scheduling, and trust? In the afternoon, we address the specific issues of the attendees. • In a team with multiple cultures, we examine what they all are, and explain the worldviews of all the nationalities present. Poignant examples lead to greater realization of the attitudes of others. • Where attendees regularly deal with other cultures, we examine their characteristics to create greater understanding and increase the likelihood of harmonious business relations. • All of this is applied to group work on the multi-cultural team or on specific clients. To achieve this, I need a full rundown on the cultural backgrounds of all the attendees (and/or their clients) in advance, so that I can prepare the correct blend of tailor-made examples to match their specific needs. Kevin Duncan has travelled to over 70 countries, and worked with people from dozens of different nationalities.

Learning Activity #1 Surveys of CEO's today will tell you that the two most important, and the two most difficult, management tasks when it comes to leading successful virtual and global teams is trust and communication. Explain why managers would declare this statement as being true. One of the most important contributions of Hofstede's studies regarding working in diverse teams is the idea of "diversity distance". How would this idea be useful in creating trust in a virtual global team? Consider in your answer whether you want to increase the distance or decrease the distance between the cultures.

Module 7 - The Ideas of Fons Trompenaars: Country Profiles & Online Information Sources Objectives The aim of this assignment is to expose learners to the information offered by the Canadian Centre for Inter-Cultural Learning and apply this information to the ideas of Fons Trompenaars. Instructor Comments When completing these assignments do consider that Kwintessential.com and the Centre for Inter-Cultural Learning websites offer fairly comprehensive insight into national cultures. Based on these insights consider the similarities and difference between Holland and France and then think about Malaysia and Pakistan. The dominant religion in both of these latter two countries in Islam. Despite being separated geographically by thousands of miles, do the cultures of these two countries appear more similar then France and Holland, two countries that share a border? Although the role of religion has not been the focus of this course, it is important. At this point, you will be completing your seventh assignment. Think back on the countries whose cultures you have studied. Aside from the ideas of Trompenaars and Hofstede, is there another important dimension at play? Could it be the role of the dominant religion of the country? In your mind is there a connection? Although not the subject of this or the following assignments, it is worth considering. Assignment This assignment seeks to help you understand the answer to a broader concern and that is, "How might the ideas of Fons Trompenaars be applied in real life?" You should base your responses to the following questions on the country cultural descriptions found on the website of the Canadian Centre for Inter Cultural Learning and the National Cultural Profiles found on the Telegraph.co.uk website. In order to complete the assignment, please recall that Trompenaars defines a national culture in terms of seven dimensions: achievement vs. ascription, individualism vs. collectivism, internal vs. external, neutral vs. emotional, specific vs. diffuse, time orientation, and universalism vs. particularism. Please base your responses to the following questions on your analysis of the article and the series of websites noted below. · Fons Trompenaars Trade Culture Dimensions. http://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/seven-dimensions.htm · Fons Trompenaars and Peter Wooliams: A new framework for managing change across cultures, Journal of Change Management 2003 3(4) 361 - 375 · Country Insights found on Centre for Inter-Cultural Learning website. http://www.intercultures.ca/cil-cai/countryinsights-apercuspays-eng.asp · Country Etiquette Guides found on Kwintessential's website. http://www.kwintessential.co.uk/resources/country-profiles.html and http://www.kwintessential.co.uk/etiquette/doing-business-in.html Please complete the following exercises: · To the best of your ability please briefly describe the national culture of Singapore using Trompenaars seven cultural dimensions. · To the best of your ability ...

Communication takes on special importance in international management. How organizations communicate across cultural boundaries defines their success and failures as an MNC. Communication is the transfer of meaning from a sender to a receiver. The challenge is to effectively communicate so the receiver can properly interpret the intended meaning of the message. Global leaders understand that language is not just about communication between individuals but is the very reflection of the culture in which the organization operates. READ: Communication Style and Cultural Features in High/Low Context Communication Cultures: A Case Study of Finland, Japan and India by Shoji Nishimura, Anne Nevgi, and Seppo Tella. http://www.helsinki.fi/~tella/nishimuranevgitella299.pdf Using what you have learned, answer the following questions: 1. What is a High-Context Culture? 2. What is a Low-Context Culture? 3. Considering the country you are researching, how would you define the context of their culture? 4. Comparing your country to the United States, what challenges, if any, would your organization experience in its communication with Americans? 5. Why is nonverbal communication a barrier to effective communication? Write a minimum 2-page paper using your findings from above. The Country is Nigeria. Must be in APA Standard. Including in text citations and referances. .
