Book excerpt: Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2004 im Fachbereich Führung und Personal - Personalführung, Note: 1,7, European Business School - Internationale Universität Schloß Reichartshausen Oestrich-Winkel, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Das Ziel dieser Arbeit besteht darin, die Ursachen interkultureller Konflikte in international tätigen Unternehmen bei den Individuen zu untersuchen. Anschließend sollen Instrumente präsentiert werden, welche an deren interkulturellem Wahrnehmungsprozess ansetzen, um interkulturelle Konflikte zu vermeiden bzw. zu handhaben oder zu lösen. Die zunehmende internationale Verflechtung der Wirtschaft zwingt Unternehmen, auf neuen Märkten Präsenz zu zeigen. Bei ihren grenzüberschreitenden Aktivitäten werden sie mit neuen Ländern, Geschäftspartnern und Kunden konfrontiert. Der technische Fortschritt leistet seinen Beitrag und ermöglicht eine sekundenschnelle Kontaktaufnahme mit inländischen wie auch ausländischen Mitarbeitern und Kunden über Kontinente hinweg. Dementsprechend hat sich der Arbeitsalltag in den letzten Jahrzehnten radikal verändert. Mitarbeiter werden tagtäglich mit internationalen Einflüssen konfrontiert, die am Arbeitsplatz vertretenen Nationalitäten werden vielfältiger, sei es am Heimatstandort, in ausländischen Niederlassungen oder im Kontakt mit Kunden. So auch die unter-schiedlichen involvierten Kulturen: Fremde Sprachen, Religionen, Wertvorstellungen, Gebräuche und unterschiedliche wirtschaftliche Rahmenbedingungen prägen das Bild heutiger Unternehmen. Erfolg und Misserfolg internationaler Geschäftstätigkeit liegen eng beieinander und hängen in vielen Fällen nicht nur vom Grad der Professionalität einzelner Mitarbeiter ab, sondern zunehmend von ihrer Fähigkeit, interkulturelle Interaktionen erfolgreich zu meistern. Wer kulturelle Unterschiede übersieht oder gar von universell gültigen Denk- und Verhaltensmustern ausgeht, setzt sich in hohem Maße der Gefahr eines interkulturellen Konfliktes aus, der ein abruptes Ende der Beziehung mit dem ausländischen Geschäftspartner herbeiführen kann, mit all seinen wirtschaftlichen Folgen. Konflikte zwischen Mitarbeitern, Kunden und anderen Akteuren innerhalb wie auch außerhalb eines international tätigen Unternehmens sind allgemein bekannte Phänomene, dennoch scheint es weder möglich, sie zu unterbinden noch zu vermeiden.

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 A History of Twentieth Century Germany written by Ulrich Herbert and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-15 with total page 1088 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Germany in the 20th century endured two world wars, a failed democracy, Hitler's dictatorship, the Holocaust, and a country divided for 40 years after World War II. But it has also boasted a strong welfare state, affluence, liberalization and globalization, a successful democracy, and the longest period of peace in European history. A History of Twentieth-Century Germany provides a survey of German history during a century of extremes. Ulrich Herbert sees German history in the 20th century as determined by two contradictory perspectives. On one hand, there are the world wars and great catastrophes that divide the country's history into two parts-before and after 1945. Germany is the birthplace of radical ideologies of the left and right and the only country in which each ideology became the foundation of government. This pattern left its stamp on both the first and second halves of the century. On the other hand, the rise of modern industrial society led to decades of conflict over the social and political order regardless of which political system was in force. Considering these contradictory developments, Herbert tackles the questions of both the collapse in the first half of the century and the development from a post-fascist, ruined society to one of the most stable liberal democracies in the world in the latter half. Herbert's analysis brings together wars and terror, utopia and politics, capitalism and the welfare state, socialism and liberal democratic society, gender and generations, culture and lifestyles, European integration and globalization. The resulting book sets a standard by which historians of the period will be measured in the future.

Book excerpt: Conflict is a major cause of suffering for millions of people throughout the world. Conflict inhibits development and fosters displacement, destruction of infrastructure, loss of food and economic security, abuse of human rights, dislocation of families and communities and loss of cultural identity.

However, recognition of the immediate human needs within periods of conflict has seen an increased provision and role the provision of aid now plays.

Download or read book Cross Cultural Consumption written by David Howes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-11-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Goods are imbued with meanings and uses by their producers. When they are exported, they can act as a means of communication or domination. However, there is no guarantee that the intentions of the producer will be recognized, much less respected, by the consumer from another culture. Cross-Cultural Consumption is a fascinating guide to the cultural implications of the globalization of a consumer society. The chapters address topics ranging from the clothing of colonial subjects in South Africa and the rise of the hypermarket in Argentina, to the presentation of culture in international tourist hotels. Through their examination of cultural imperialism and cultural appropriation of the representation of otherness and identity, Howes and his contributors show how the increasingly global flow of goods and images challenges the very idea of the cultural border and creates new spaces for cultural invention.

Download or read book The Expansive Moment written by Jack Goody and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995-08-10 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jack Goody's book explores the development of the discipline of social anthropology through its key practitioners and how far its concerns interacted with the political and ideological debate of the interwar years. It is a study of the different ideological and intellectual approaches adopted by the emerging subject of social anthropology and how far these views were incorporated into and defined by the structures and institutions in which they developed. However it is also an analysis of how far the subject was created by its own response to key issues of the time: colonialism - specifically Africa, anti-Semitism and communism. Goody's approach is characteristically personal: Malinowski dominates the discussion, as well as Fortes, Radcliffe-Brown and Evans-Pritchard, and his own experience, gathered over a wide-ranging life of fieldwork informs the conclusion of the book.
