Create a table that compares two societal  cultures on the nine dimensions of culture identified by the GLOBE  project. Depending on the countries you choose, you may need to do more  research. Your table should have  three columns, one with the nine dimensions, one with the first country,  and one with the second country. Your table should include the scores  and an explanation of what the scores mean. 

Following is an example of comparing one dimension between Germany and China:

Background and Summary of GLOBE

The  Wharton Business School of the University of Pennsylvania was the home  of the GLOBE Research Project, which investigated variations in business  leadership worldwide.  GLOBE comprised 170 researchers in 62 societies  over 11 years.  The research team’s stated objective was…
 

   To  determine the extent to which the practices and values of business  leadership are universal (i.e., are similar globally), and the extent to  which they are specific to just a few societies.     

The team is  attained this objective.  GLOBE’s findings present to us all a  breakthrough in our ability to think about business leadership in a way  that is accurate, action-oriented, and – most importantly – genuinely global. 
 

   Any  organization that devotes resources to developing global leaders now has  within its grasp the data and the guideposts to accomplish this  critical goal.  It’s now possible with unprecedented confidence to assess, develop, and measure top leadership talent in a way that captures the full meaning of “global.”     

The first report from the GLOBE team was an 818-page book by R.J. House et al., Culture, Leadership, and Organizations,   published by Sage in 2004; this précis addresses the 2004 publication  only.  A second report of the GLOBE team was published in 2007 (note).  A third report is in press.  The other three articles at Grovewell.com/GLOBE (total  8,500 words) provide all those responsible for leadership development  with an overview and interpretation of the findings reported in 2004.

The first question  addressed by the team was which measurement standards (“independent  variables”) to use to be precise about the similarities and differences  among various societal and organizational cultures. Their efforts  yielded nine “cultural dimensions” that serve as  

their standard of measurement.
 

Performance Orientation 

Uncertainty Avoidance 

Humane Orientation   

Institutional Collectivism 

In-Group Collectivism 

Assertiveness   

Gender Egalitarianism 

Future Orientation 

Power Distance

Question #1 – Analyzing Your Organizational Culture

Using the tips from the article Understanding Your Company’s Culture , complete an analysis of your organizational culture. Describe what you learned about your organization’s culture here, using detail and examples.

Research has shown that cultural alignment improves morale and productivity. Based on what you learned about your own organization, how well aligned is it with your own values and beliefs?  How does this impact your behavior and/or performance.

Then, outline a plan for acquiring this knowledge or competency.

Please include scholarly content with citations supporting your research,

Write at least a three-page analysis using the case study on pages 311–313 in your textbook: “Kelly’s Assignment in Japan.”

Your analysis should address the questions listed below.

• Explain the clashes in culture, customs, and expectations that occurred in this situation.
• What stage of culture shock is Kelly’s family experiencing?
• Turn back the clock to when Kelly was offered the position in Tokyo. What, if anything, should have been done differently, and by whom?
• You are Kelly. What should you do now?

Your case study analysis should follow APA guidelines for formatting all resources, both in-text citations and references. Your analysis should include a title page and a reference page.

Directions

You will be using the same organization or agency that you chose for Part I & II of your Capstone Project.

III. Community Partnerships (who are the community partners/what role does each community partner play)

1. Community Needs Assessment(what services are needed to meet the needs of the community or fill the gaps in service from other resources)
2. Community Needs Assessment Questionnaire (based on the part I and part II, create 5 questions that will assist the organization in identifying gaps in service and community needs. Remember to include how an organization might collect this data and how it could inform their practice)

Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

Most DM dissertations are based on one or more foundational concepts and theories found in the management or leadership literature. Although your discoveries may result in new knowledge, the conclusions of your research can be connected to the body of scholarly management research. Review all of the theories (and research additional theories if needed) that were discussed in the course.( DISSERTATION TOPIC : WHAT HAPPENS TO TOXICS LEADERS ONCE THEY ARE REMOVED FROM AN ORGANIZATION.

• Identity      the leadership theory that forms (or is closest to) the basis of your      dissertation research interests. 
• Create and      attach a mind map showing the visual connection between the leadership      theory that you selected and your dissertation research interest.

For the music paper you must create 500 to 600 words of written text. You need to select a program on Youtube to watch. As a first step read an article about the type of music or dance you have chosen to watch. So if you pick Salsa for instance search the article for information about the instruments used, the choreography presented, the types of rhythm and sounds that are presented, the kinds of lyrics that are developed. Then pick a Youtube program that presents a major artist or artists doing a performance.  Since this is part of the international education component of the course you may not use American musicians or American based compositions i.e. no Japanese rock and roll for instance. Select a style of music that originated abroad i.e. classical music and composers that worked in Europe, opera created by European artists, Latin American music such as the lambada, the macarena, the salsa, the tango and the list goes on, traditional forms of Asian music such as Japanese music or Chinese music, or forms of African tribal music. As you watch the presentation select two of the songs that are performed. Tell me who created them, what the songs symbolize, what kinds of lyrics and instruments are used, what the songs sound like i.e. rhythm, tempo , pitch etc.  Some of these types of music are closely associated with dance or ballet. So if the music includes elements of either of those, briefly describe their impact on the production.Also briefly describe your aesthetic response to each piece of music. Whatever  you watch  electronically cite the program using MLA style.
