Regarding Organizational Behaviour, international business managers have a really important role in the negotiation arena, usually IBM went abroad making negotiations that will profit them sometime. as it is known, the whole world is full of different cultures, so in every new negotiation is very important to know ethics, political views, gender, religion, demography, ethnography.
For example for japanese people is very important to know its client/customer bye the way they act in their family or in the dinner table.
Its very important to develope cross cultural management skills, because not everyone think as we think, and something that for us could be normal for others can be disrespectful.

Juliana, It is a very good idea that you match the theory and the cartoons.
ResponderEliminarYou pointed really good examples of companies and of cultures. Your blog is also very organized.
An other thing you mention abou the respect is also very important, in the across cultural management skills, this is one of the first skills managers should learn, because as you say cultures differ since the place they are located, to the people that live in that country.
I enjoy your blog and found that we have similar ideas what i found interesting.
ResponderEliminarAbout the Japanese case is very real, they really preferred to make business with a friend that with anyone else, that’s why when you want to make business with them you have to prepare a big quantity of money because you should make some trip.
I hope to come back soon and read more about you thoughts.
Juliana
