From the discussion preparation, determine whether the national culture of the chosen country overrides the organizational culture of the chosen multi-national company (MNC), or vice versa.

• Next, assess the extent to which the selected organization has overcome any of its cultural challenges. Justify your response.

 Go to Country Comparison from Hofstede Insights and select one country of your choosing from the drop-down menu. Review the six cultural dimensions of the selected country. Next, use the Internet to research the organizational culture of one multi-national company (MNC) that conducts business within the selected country. Be prepared to discuss.

Step 1 – Read the Information Below

Organizations from time to time must make hard decisions (expand, lay off employees, or close a facility). As a manager, you will have to use work experiences, advice from supervisors, and the organizational culture to support your decision. Organizational culture is the sum of the values and beliefs shared among employees.

Suppose you are a manager who is faced with having to reduce headcount (lay off one of your two employees) in your unit. Sales within the company have declined due to the downward spiral of the economy and each department within the organization is faced with making the same decision. Fortunately, you only have to cut one job; others are reducing more.

• Mary is in her mid-20s, single, college graduate, she is very hard working and was in the top 10% of the performance ratings this year, she constantly volunteers to travel, work weekends and evenings. However, she supports political causes that could be viewed as contrary to the goals of the company.
• Alice is in her mid-40s, has two young children, her husband is a doctor, her performance is good, and she has above average performance reviews. However, she has limited availability on weekends and limitations on overnight travel due to her volunteer work with local charities.

Step 2 – Post a Response

Respond to the following:

• As a manager who would you select to layoff and why?
• What is the potential impact of this choice on organizational culture?

An essay about a specific topping of Human Resource.

· Please read the Case “For Personal Financial advisors, A Small Staffing Plan with a Big Impact” at the end of Chapter 5 (page 224), “Human Resource Planning and Recruitment” available in your textbook Human Resource Management: Gaining A Competitive Advantage-Noe, Hollenbeck, Gerhart, Wright,11e., and answer the following questions:

1. Is a company ever too small to need to engage in human resource planning? Why or why not? Discuss whether you think Robert Reed planned his hiring strategy at an appropriate time in the firm’s growth.(Marks: 1.5)

2. Using Table 5.3, review the options for avoiding a labor shortage, and discuss how well the options besides new hires could have worked as ways for Reed to reach his goals for growth. As you do so, consider qualities of a financial-planning business that might be relevant (for example, direct client contact and the need for confidentiality).(Marks: 2.5)

3. Suppose that when Reed was seeking to hire a certified financial planner, he asked you for advice on where to recruit this person. Which sources would you suggest, and why? ( Mark:1)

Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that 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.

Steven Sample described two rules of decision making for contrarian leaders: “(1) Never make a decision yourself that can reasonably be delegated to a lieutenant; (2) Never make a decision today that can reasonably be put off to tomorrow” (Sample, 2003). 

• Discuss your agreement or disagreement with these rules. 
  • Identify  pros and cons of these rules of decision making. 
  • Discuss  if these rules would be effective if applied in your current work environment. 
  • Discuss a  work, life, or academic decision-making situation when you followed these  rules and the results were positive and a situation when you followed these rules and the results did not yield positive results. 

In addition to addressing all requirements of the assignments, model answer includes the following:

• Recognize that using the contrarian leaders’ decision-making rules depends on several conditions:
• First, to delegate to a lieutenant, one must have someone he or she trusts, is knowledgeable to make the same decision as the leader and understands the complexity of the situation to make the      right decision (these complexities are often not pushed down to the next level). 
• To hold off on decisions will depend on the culture and structure of the organization. If the organization is one that requires quick decisions, and a lot of other factors depend on that decision, then  following rule 2 would not be effective in that culture. 
• Additionally responses will be based on the personal  experiences i.e. answers will vary.
