Case study: culture clash in the boardroom

Study: Culture Clash in the Boardroom The Case Study – Culture Clash in the Boardroom – discusses about a big European Company, Almond, which has a venture in China. Even though the business is global, it follows the European standards. There is a cultural difference in China concerning the way they do business practices– they give gifts and get to know workers families, for example. Some things that are important to do by law in Europe are not important there and vice versa. In the case, in an international event the executives of the company discussed about ethics, emphasizing that there was some rules to be followed in every venture`s country. The chairman of the venture wanted to give some commissions for a sale that would happen. But the practice was against the rules and standards of the company as a unit. Even though in China this practice can often happen, it is not ethic to bribe someone on the business environment. In the discussion, the chairman of the business mixed some of his believes of giving commission with safety procedures, alleging that these ones were unnecessary over expenses. As a result, this kind of behavior showed a different way of leading business practices between two people and two different cultures. In order of growing in China and do business, the European chairman considered about giving some commission or entertainment for the sales employees, but the president of the China`s venture was totally against. According to him, in the future

There: The Complete LCD Soundsystem by Pitchfork, posted March 28, 2011 F or years, James Murphy has suggested that he would be closing the door on LCD Soundsystem; a lot of people didn’t believe him. Even after his band announced their final night out, a threehour show at New York City’s Madison Square Garden dubbed The Long Goodbye, some still expect a 55-year-old Murphy will climb back on stage in 2025. Perhaps that suspicion is cynicism or perhaps it’s learned…

reformas "inspiradas no feminismo" tiraram da mulher qualquer tipo de "proteção especial" que porventura tivessem. Economistas argumentaram que mulheres bem-remuneradas acabaram criando "uma família menos estável". E houve demógrafos que, com grande estardalhaço, legitimaram o ponto de vista corrente com dados supostamente imparciais sobre a proporção entre o sexo e a incidência da fertilidade. Eles afirmam que possuem números que provam que a igualdade não combina com casamento e…
