Case Study on Cross-Cultural Management
Cross-Cultural Management
1.0 Reflection
The values are important and a great factor that may contribute on how an individual act on the other people. His family, friends, and work can be the most important part of a person’s life. The leisure time and religion are average important while politics may seem not important.
In overall progress, communication is important (Waisbord, 2003). For the parents, it is important that their children will learn while staying at home and on the top five lists includes the independence, feeling of having a responsibility, tolerance and respect for other people, determination and perseverance, and unselfishness. If all their needs can be achieved and experienced a quality and equal rights, then there will be a satisfaction of living (Seipel, 2003). Being involved in any type of organization may seem not important. There are many reasons behind this truth and one of those is having the lack of time to participate in the organizations when he or she is busy at work and fulfilling his role in a family. The respondent believes that someone should be taking care of a homeless child. Marriage is also important that is why he/she is against of single parenting and unstable relationships, especially for women (Hori, 2007).
The respondent like to have a peaceful and happy neighborhood that is why he/she doesn’t want to any neighbors who are drug addicts and heavy drinkers. On the other hand, the people with different cultures, religions, races, or sexuality are not discriminated in the ideal of neighborhood that the respondent wants to have.
It is important for the respondent that there is a feeling of accomplishment and working with the people they like is also important to perform well in an organization. The importance of work is highlighted and given prioritized; moreover, compensation makes a great difference for the respondent. In addition, the respondent believes that even women have their own position in a corporation even if being a housewife is like almost the same like working (Morrisson & Jutting, 2004; Muthuveloo & Rose, 2005; Hori, 2007). Furthermore, education should be equal for both boys and girls for the total economic and national development.
