Die Seminararbeit soll die Wichtigkeit des Themas für global agierende Unternehmen und für den internationalen Arbeitsmarkt darstellen. Die Autorin zeigt im Laufe der Seminararbeit auf, dass Organisationen von vielen verschiedenen Orientierungssystemen beeinflusst werden können, deren Dimensionen in einigen Punkten übereinstimmen und in einigen Punkten voneinander abweichen. Die Seminararbeit zeigt außerdem die Vorteile für den Unternehmenserfolg auf, sowohl im Innen- als auch im Außenverhältnis. Die Betrachtung des Themas anhand eines Vergleichs zweier Länder, die in Bezug auf die sechs Dimensionen von Prof. Dr. Geert Hofstede verglichen werden, soll der Seminararbeit einen Bezug zur Praxis geben und die Aktualität des Themas untermauern.

This book was released on 2004-08-23 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Zusammenfassung: Das Themengebiet der interkulturellen Kompetenz ist groß. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, einen verständlichen Überblick über die relevanten Aspekte interkultureller Kompetenz zu geben. Globalisierung und Internationalisierung sind in den vergangenen Jahren mit erhöhter Intensität vorangeschritten und die Zunahme internationaler Geschäftstätigkeiten wird auch im 21. Jahrhundert als ein ungebrochener Trend bestehen bleiben. Durch die Verflechtung unternehmerischer Wertschöpfungsprozesse in Form von Kooperationen, strategischen Allianzen oder Fusionen ist der Arbeitsalltag zunehmend von einer hohen Zahl interkultureller Kontaktpunkte gekennzeichnet, denn obwohl zwischen den Staaten keinerlei unüberwindbare Grenzen mehr zu bestehen scheinen, stößt man im internationalen Business nach wie vor auf kulturelle Differenzen, die es zu beachten gilt. Solche interkulturellen Kontaktpunkte treten vermehrt sowohl innerhalb einer kulturell heterogenen Belegschaft, als auch im Außenverhältnis der Unternehmung auf. In diesem Zusammenhang macht ein neues Schlagwort die Runde interkulturelle Kompetenz. Der Umgang mit kultureller Vielfalt und Heterogenität kann sich sowohl negativ als auch durchaus positiv bemerkbar machen. Es gilt, Risiken zu vermeiden, aber auch Synergiepotentiale und Chancen zu nutzen, und sich durch diese Fähigkeit einen Wettbewerbsvorteil zu beschaffen. Im Rahmen der Diplomarbeit wird zunächst die Fähigkeit der interkulturellen Kompetenz definiert und aus verschiedenen Perspektiven auf ihre Relevanz für international agierende Unternehmen untersucht. Diese Untersuchung führt zu dem Ergebnis, dass kulturelle Kompetenz - die entscheidende Komponente internationaler Handlungskompetenz ist, - die Basis für interkulturellen Wissenstransfers stellt, - als operativer Werttreiber innerhalb der Organisation zur Wertsteigerung beitragen kann, - und die Möglichkeit bietet, - dauerhafte Geschäftsverbindungen aufzubauen, die sich für das Unternehmen als Wettbewerbsvorteil gegenüber drohender Konkurrenz auswirken. Damit ist interkulturelle Kompetenz ein entscheidender Erfolgsfaktor im internationalen Geschäft. Im Anschluss an die Diskussion werden die Bereiche erwähnt, in denen interkulturelle Kompetenz eine besonders wichtige Rolle spielt - sowohl im Innen- wie auch im Außenverhältnis der Unternehmung. Es wird deutlich an wie vielen Schnittstellen interkulturelle Kompetenz wichtig für effektives und [...]

This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Das Thema „interkulturelle Kompetenz“ ist zu einem wichtigen Schlagwort für international agierende Unternehmen geworden. In einem zunehmend internationaler gewordenen Geschäftsumfeld und mit einer immer multinationaler aufgestellten Mitarbeiterstruktur, hat sich eine reibungslose interkulturelle Kommunikation zu einem entscheidenden Erfolgsfaktor entwickelt. Dennoch herrscht immer noch große Uneinigkeit zur genauen Definition. Diese Arbeit gibt einen Überblick, wie „interkulturelle Kompetenz“ definiert wird und welche Weiterentwicklungsmethoden gefordert werden. Weiterhin wird untersucht, welches Kulturbegriffes sich das Forschungsgebiet der „interkulturellen Kompetenz“ bedient. Im Hauptteil setzt sich das Buch schließlich damit auseinander, wie ein bestimmter Kulturraum innerhalb dieses Forschungsgebietes dargestellt wird. Als Fallbeispiel wurde Japan gewählt, das mit seinen ausgeprägten Eigenheiten seines Managementsystems viel Freiraum für kulturelle Interpretationen gibt. Es wird gezeigt, dass zu leicht auf Verallgemeinerungen und kulturelle Stereotypen zurückgegriffen wird, und dass dies ebenfalls zu Störungen innerhalb der interkulturellen Kommunikation führen kann. Zu diesem Zweck wird die Darstellung der japanischen Unternehmenskultur untersucht, kritisch hinterfragt und mit den Forschungen des Kulturwissenschaftlers Geert Hofstede verglichen. Im letzten Kapitel beschäftigt sich das Buch mit interkulturellen Trainings als Personalentwicklungsmaßnahme, wobei auch in diesem Feld Verbesserungspotential aufgezeigt wird.

Download or read book Corporate Social Responsibility written by Subhabrata Bobby Banerjee and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has many merits. It will make fascinating reading for the increasing number of organizational scholars who wonder how organizational research can engage more in accounting for the impact of corporations on their environment in a broad sense. Bahar Ali Kazmi, Bernard Leca and Philippe Naccache, Organization Studies This book is for those who will enjoy a thoughtful and informative monograph that acutely summarises and refreshes critique from a political and sociological perspective. It is a comprehensive re-interpretation of the corporate world and the evidently meretricious regime of CSR which makes it an enjoyable compendium for critical management studies fans . . this erudite volume will be valuable to mainstream, social science academics either involved in (or dismissive of) CSR and sustainability discourses in management education and research. David Bevan, Scandinavian Journal of Management Banerjee s book is thought provoking and must be read. But it should be read not only by corporate social responsibility scholars but by all business scholars. It is through Banerjee s provocations that we can understand the shortcomings of corporate systems and the boundaries of corporate social responsibility. Pratima Bansal, Administrative Science Quarterly This is a tour de force that carefully assembles and incisively interrogates perhaps the most pressing problem of our age: how to harness the resources of corporations to tackle global problems of poverty, oppression and environmental degradation? Banerjee does not present us with glib pronouncements or simplistic fixes. Instead, he brilliantly illuminates the scale of the challenges and lucidly assesses the relevance and value of CSR responses to date. Hugh Willmott, University of Cardiff, UK Bobby Banerjee takes on the popular mythologies of neo-liberal corporate social responsibility with enviable flair and a thoroughness of scholarship that will dismay its apologists. His critique extends from the origins of the modern corporation and its well-known abuses and excesses to far harder targets the more attractive alternatives that have been developed for theory and practice that, as Banerjee shows brilliantly, only serve to mask continuing neo-colonial abuses. Banerjee is not content simply to expose the impossibilities of doing good works whilst maximizing shareholder value, the win-win view of CSR, but he bites the bullet with some uncompromising but realistic proposals for the future reconstruction of CSR both as a field of study and as a business practice. We have needed this exposure of the bad and the ugly for a long time. The current versions of CSR are simply just not good enough. Stephen Linstead, University of York, UK Banerjee pulls the beguiling mask off corporate social responsibility. Taking the vantage point of the world s poor, he shows CSR to be a cruel hoax corporations cynical effort to undermine growing demands for economic and environmental justice. Paul S. Adler, University of Southern California, US This book problematizes the win-win assumption underlying discourses of CSR and suggests that it is a rhetoric that is invariably subordinated to that of corporate rationality. Rather than see CSR as providing the means to transform corporations by advocating a stakeholder view of the firm it argues that CSR represents an ideological movement designed to consolidate the power of transnational corporations and provide a veneer of liberality to the illiberal economic agenda of the major global institutions. Stewart Clegg, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia Professor Banerjee offers us a refreshing analysis of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in an otherwise comparatively turgid literary landscape. People may disagree with his criticism that because of its preoccupation with shareholder value, the corporation is an inappropriate agent for social change but it is backed up by strong theoretical and substantive empirical

Download or read book Updating the Rules for Online Content Dissemination written by Mark D. Cole and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-14 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current legal framework for online content dissemination has proven insufficient to effectively combat illegal content. The Commissions' proposal for an EU 'Digital Services Act' aims to update the horizontal framework for intermediaries and create a safe online environment. However, as far as content mediation is concerned, European fundamental rights and values require that the specificities of media law must be taken into account. This study, conducted by the Institute of European Media Law (EMR) on behalf of the Media Authority of NRW, describes the current legal framework and the DSA proposal, and provides a comprehensive assessment from the perspective of media law, complemented by alternative proposals for further improvement.

Download or read book Fascism Past and Present West and East written by Roger Griffin and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2006-04-27 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the opinion of some historians the era of fascism ended with the deaths of Mussolini and Hitler. Yet the debate about its nature as a historical phenomenon and its value as a term of historical analysis continues to rage with ever greater intensity, each major attempt to resolve it producing different patterns of support, dissent, and even hostility, from academic colleagues. Nevertheless, a number of developments since 1945 not only complicate the methodological and definitional issues even further, but make it ever more desirable that politicians, journalists, lawyers, and the general public can turn to "experts" for a heuristically useful and broadly consensual definition of the term. These developments include: the emergence of a highly prolific European New Right, the rise of radical right populist parties, the flourishing of ultra-nationalist movements in the former Soviet empire, the radicalization of some currents of Islam and Hinduism into potent political forces, and the upsurge of religious terrorism. Most monographs and articles attempting to establish what is meant by fascism are written from a unilateral authoritative perspective, and the intense academic controversy the term provokes has to be gleaned from reviews and conference discussions. The uniqueness of this book is that it provides exceptional insights into the cut-and-thrust of the controversy as it unfolds on numerous fronts simultaneously, clarifying salient points of difference and moving towards some degree of consensus. Twenty-nine established academics were invited to engage with an article by Roger Griffin, one of the most influential theorists in the study of generic fascism in the Anglophone world. The resulting debate progressed through two 'rounds' of critique and reply, forming a fascinating patchwork of consensus and sometimes heated disagreement. In a spin-off from the original discussion of Griffin's concept of fascism, a second exchange documented here focuses on the issue of fascist ideology in contemporary Russia. This collection is essential reading for all those who realize the need to provide the term 'fascism' with theoretical rigor, analytical precision, and empirical content despite the complex issues it raises, and for any specialist who wants to participate in fascist studies within an international forum of expertise. The book will change the way in which historians and political scientists think about fascism, and make the debate about the threat it poses to infant democracies like Russia more incisive not just for academics, but for politicians, journalists, and the wider public.

Download or read book Cross Cultural Management in Practice written by Henriett Primecz and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ÔPrimecz, Romani, and Sackmann provide managers and educators with a powerful framework that goes beyond simple categorization of national and cultural differences in business. Their framework of negotiated meaning systems, and the rich cases that illustrate the Òin-the-momentÓ experiences of global managers as they conduct business in culturally unfamiliar milieus provide managers and educators with a powerful tool for developing global managerial skills. This is a book every global manager and cross-cultural educator should have on his or her bookshelf.Õ Ð Mark E. Mendenhall, University of Tennessee, Chattanooga, US ÔThis is a unique, alternative view of culture that has both practical and theoretical significance. The creative analysis of cases from around the world moves the field beyond the sophisticated stereotyping that can result from relying solely on cultural value dimensions to decode interactions. The cases address significant cross-cultural issues, providing useful lessons and richer perspectives on culture.Õ Ð Joyce Osland, San JosŽ State University, US ÔThis book is an excellent collection of practical and useful cases in cross-cultural management, with some that are very different from what we would call ÒtraditionalÓ cases in cross-cultural management. They are excellent teaching material with an introduction and a conclusion that show students and practitioners how meanings are negotiated in diverse and complex cross-cultural situations.Õ Ð Marie-Therese Claes, Louvain School of Management, Belgium ÔA fascinating book for both the diversity of cultures that are touched upon (from Asia and Africa to Europe and America) and the cultural analyses that are made of various management situations resulting from the transfer of management techniques across countries or the encountering of those embedded in different cultures.Õ Ð Philippe dÕIribarne, CNRS, France ÔA group of multidisciplinary authors from various countries and cultures bring rich experience to this volume. The focus on real-life situations offers a fresh perspective on culture in organizations and management through in-depth case studies including both academic and pedagogical sides. It addresses multi-level cross-cultural issues of international strategic importance for globalizing workplaces. This insightful book is excellent reading for practitioners as well as scholars and students interested in applications in the field of cross-cultural management.Õ Ð Cordula Barzantny, Toulouse Business School, France ÔThis volume offers an insightful introduction to qualitative field research aiming to understand the dynamics in intercultural business interactions. Based on the findings provided in ten rich cases from Asia, Europe, North Africa, USA and Latin America, the editors also propose strategies for more effective collaboration in challenging multiple-cultures contexts. The authors and editors have succeeded in transforming the field studies into cases that are stimulating and thought provoking readings, both for practitioners and students of cross-cultural management.Õ Ð Anne-Marie S¿derberg, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark Based on the view that culture is dynamic and negotiated between actors, this groundbreaking book contains a collection of ten cases on cross-cultural management in practice. The cases draw on field research revealing challenges and insights from working across nations and cultures. Each case provides recommendations for practitioners that are developed into a framework for effective intercultural interactions as well as offering illustrations and insights on how to handle actual cross-cultural issues. This enriching book covers various topics including international collaborations across and within multinational companies, organizational culture in international joint ventures and knowledge transfer. Based on empirical fieldwork and qualitative analyses, this path-breaking book will appeal to graduate and postgraduate students in international management as well as practitioners.

Book excerpt: On a business trip to Tunisia, Preising, a leading Swiss industrialist, is invited to spend the week with the daughter of a local gangster. He accompanies her to the wedding of two London city traders at a desert luxury resort that was once the site of an old Berber oasis. With the wedding party in full swing and the bride riding up the aisle on a camel, no one is aware that the global financial system stands on the brink of collapse.
