P/S/24. Social aspects of cross-cultural expatriate adjustment

WORDS:

5000

DATE:

2004

PRICE:

59.99 GBP

The aim of the paper is to present a cross-cultural comparison of sociocultural and psychological adjustment amongst expatriates who have moved abroad to work, taking into consideration their level of preparation, age, language ability and culture of origin. The author's objective is to confirm the hypothesis suggesting that the culture of origin has an effect on sociocultural and psychological adjustment. A Literature review of the works by Searle & Ward (1990), Ward & Kennedy (1992), Waxin (2004), etc. showing how an individual copes with the new environment, as well as the works by Selmer (1999) and Ward & Kennedy (1993) devoted to their expatriate experiences provide a conceptual framework for researching into cross-cultural adjustment. The author uses the methods of measurements along sociocultural adjustment scale (SCAS) and the Zungs Self Rating Depression Scale (ZSDS). Over a hundred questionnaires were distributed within Spain, to individuals from East Europe, West Europe, South America and Eastern countries such as India and Pakistan. The results indicated that, as predicted, the culture of origin played a vital role in adjustment, with individuals from the Eastern cultures displaying poorer forms of adjustment. The paper recommends that recruitment and selection routine should be improved in order to accommodate for expatriate employees and ensure that appropriate individuals were given overseas assignments.

Aim and objective The aim of this project is to find out how organisations can evade negative post effects of organisational culture change. In order to achieve this aim several objectives will be set: Outline all possible negative post-effects of the change in organisational culture This objective will be accomplished via extensive secondary research. This will include books, academic journal articles and working papers. Find out how companies can avoid these negative effects An attempt will be made to gain this information from secondary sources, however as prior research has revealed ? very little research has been done on this topic, therefore primary research will be conducted to achieve this objective. Last objective will be to elicit the most plausible way of organisational culture change in terms of post-change organisational performance. This objective will be accomplished through primary research with HR managers of the companies which had experienced organisational culture change in recent years.

WORDS:

8000

DATE:

PRICE:

109.99 GBP

The aim of this dissertation is to explore Business culture in Japan , USA and Middle East . In order to examine this topic we will first of all look at each country individually to see what serves the foundation of their culture. We will then examine the definition of business culture and apply it to the three countries. We will compare these countries in the way that they do business and see how it is affected by their cultural values. We will demonstrate this by examining closely differences between these countries in the way they carry out telephone conversations and behave in meetings. We will contrast them in their training and their motivation processes. We will explore the differences in negotiations from establishing rapport, exchanging information and the persuasion process. We will finally use the Hofstede?s definition of culture to examine the three chosen countries to make a comparison that is based on his theory of five dimensions.
