Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Cultural Studies - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,3, , course: Data Science, language: English, abstract: The aim of this case study is to build a cultural guideline for the managers in a medium-sized mechanical engineering business in south Germany working in Brazil. The guideline is based on Hofstede’s, Hall’s, and Rotter’s concept to evaluate cultural differences between Germany and Brazil. Globalization is used to describe the interdependence of the world’s economies and cultures. These global interactions did reach its peak in the 19th century through technical breakthroughs such as steamships, railroads leading to an increase in human interactions throughout borders. Globalization did encourage the aspect of comparative advantage, meaning that each country can specify on products which require the least amount of resources. Trading these resources makes the production more efficiently, lowers the prize of goods and is daily practiced. Modern global economy makes intercultural cooperation indispensable for companies. International businesses face difficulties coming from a lack of intercultural understanding. Without the briefing on the cultural differences, misunderstandings and conflicts can occur easily. To keep up with the rising demand of intercultural interactions, it is mandatory to understand different cultures, values and their impact on the organizational operations within them. One of the most important tasks of a manager is to do the same task all over the world, but change how they do it. The strategy, structure, and actions suitable for the cultural background must change regarding the different cultural environment the manager is working at. In order to achieve organizational goals it is inevitable to adapt these aspects based on the socio-cultural environment. This goal can be achieved by cross-cultural management. Many studies have been obtained to answer conflicts arising from cross-cultural interactions. One aspect of addressing the roots of the cross-cultural conflicts is described by the dimensional approach by introducing multiple dimensions. Rotter defines national culture according to their locus of control (LoC) and uses a one dimensional model. Another approach to address cultural differences defined by Edward T. Hall does include the aspect of communication. The main focus here is on the verbal, as well as non-verbal communication and build on a three dimensional model. Hofstede explained the national culture according to a six dimensional model.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Communications - Intercultural Communication, grade: 1,3, University of applied sciences, Cologne, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this paper is to give the reader an understanding of two very contrary cultures, Germany's and Thailand's, in order to help preventing cultural misunderstandings when working together. At first, an explanation of the word "culture" will be given, although, so far, there has not yet been one exact definition all scientists approve of. After giving some general information about the two countries, a comparison will be drawn between Germany and Thailand based on two individual theories of so-called "Cultural Dimensions" put forward by the scientists Edward T. Hall and Fons Trompenaars. Additionally, the reader will find a brief elaboration of suggestions on how the two cultures may approach one another to lay potential differences aside. Thus, the aim of this paper is pointing out possibilities to enable business to develop further and that the people from these two countries will find it easier to cooperate in the future.

Book excerpt: Synthesizes the empirical literature on organizationalstructuring to answer the question of how organizations structure themselves --how they resolve needed coordination and division of labor. Organizationalstructuring is defined as the sum total of the ways in which an organizationdivides and coordinates its labor into distinct tasks. Further analysis of theresearch literature is neededin order to builda conceptualframework that will fill in the significant gap left by not connecting adescription of structure to its context: how an organization actuallyfunctions. The results of the synthesis are five basic configurations (the SimpleStructure, the Machine Bureaucracy, the Professional Bureaucracy, theDivisionalized Form, and the Adhocracy) that serve as the fundamental elementsof structure in an organization. Five basic parts of the contemporaryorganization (the operating core, the strategic apex, the middle line, thetechnostructure, and the support staff), and five theories of how it functions(i.e., as a system characterized by formal authority, regulated flows, informalcommunication, work constellations, and ad hoc decision processes) aretheorized. Organizations function in complex and varying ways, due to differing flows -including flows of authority, work material, information, and decisionprocesses. These flows depend on the age, size, and environment of theorganization; additionally, technology plays a key role because of itsimportance in structuring the operating core. Finally, design parameters aredescribed - based on the above five basic parts and five theories - that areused as a means of coordination and division of labor in designingorganizational structures, in order to establish stable patterns of behavior.(CJC).
