cross cultural managment

Order Description

ASSESSMENT 2: Cross Cultural Management
The focus of this assignment is to draw upon your analysis of national culture of two countries in Assignment 1 to develop an assessment of similarities and differences in managerial processes and organisational culture which an international manager can expect to encounter in these two countries.
Issues you may wish to examine could include how culture affects individualism versus group orientation, communications, decision-making, autocratic versus delegated leadership, superior-subordinate relationships and managing teams. In the report utilise appropriate academic theories about cross-cultural management to create frameworks to support your proposals. Utilise similar information sources that were utilised in Assignment 1.You may find some added benefit in obtaining information of the operations, and possibly any international activities, of major organisations in the two countries that are being compared.

Well written and presented assignment: distinct units of thought in paragraphs; clear transitions between developed, coherent, and logically arranged paragraphs; a few mechanical difficulties or stylistic problems; may make occasional problematic word
Reasonably written and presented: some awkward transitions; some brief, weakly unified or undeveloped paragraphs; arrangement may not appear entirely natural; contains extraneous information. more frequent wordiness; unclear or awkward sentences; imprecise
Not consistently logically structured: narrates; digresses from one topic to another; awkward use of words, numerous errors in style and presentation including spelling punctuation and grammar.
Simplistic, tends to narrate or merely summarize; illogical arrangement of ideas some major grammatical or proofreading errors; language frequently weakened by clichés, colloquialisms, repeated inexact word choices.
