Unit IV Homework Assignment

Prepare for Final Exam: This assignment will not be turned in for a grade, but it is significant for the preparation of your final exam.

This homework assignment will help to prepare for Final Exam. The Final Exam for this course asks you to examine a case study and to respond with summarizing analyses, recommendations, and a decision to support or decline an international opportunity.

Select one of the cases presented between pages 232 and 266 of Luthans and Doh (2012). The case options include each of the following:

· Coca-Cola in India

Unit V Assignment

Communication Integration

Communication is challenging in any setting. With the addition of cultural factors, communication becomes much more challenging. One way for communication to fluently flow through an organization is to establish clear communication channels. Organizational charts are often used to depict reporting structures and communication channels. As a result of an international acquisition or merger, it is necessary to restructure the organizational chart and communication channels.

For this assignment, you have been provided with two organizational charts. The organizations that use these charts have recently merged. It is your responsibility to restructure the organizational chart to establish clear channels of communication for each organization.

Scenario: Engineering Corporation is based in the United States and Aerospace Corporation is based in China. Aerospace Corporation is the parent company.

The following hyperlinked file should remain a DOC or DOCX, which allows students to revise the organizational charts. Click here to view the link of each organizational chart.

The purpose of this assignment is for you to think about and create clear channels of communication to ensure efficiency and productivity among international organizations.

Part One—The Organizational Chart. Create a new organizational chart that depicts the newly established communication channel. Create a new organizational chart from scratch, or copy and paste one of the provided organizational charts, and update it to include the new structure.

Part Two—The Description of the Communication. In a two-page summary, describe the new communication flow and why it will function effectively. Be sure to mention the communication strategies and theories that are offered by Luthans and Doh (2012).

Include the following details within your description:

I. Introduce the need for new communication flow.

II. Describe the cultural impacts of each organization. III. Describe the communication flow.

Unit VII Assignment

Newsletter

You are the leader of an organization and you are about to request that the reports end up on your desk in a more presentable fashion. Before making this request, you decide to provide an example of a more presentable report.

It is not always fun to read drab reports with large amounts of less than interesting data. The data is usually valuable, but it can be hidden behind a less than inviting presentation. For this assignment, you are asked to create a newsletter that reports the political risks, government relations factors, and recommendations to maintain alliances to support the best interests of an organization, or you as a professional international manager. This report should be designed to help you and your colleagues make important decisions about the included data.

It does not have to be a newsletter. Consider other creative formats to help sell your ideas and to capture the interest of the reader. Keep in mind that you may be the reader.

Select an organization or create a fictitious one. If you create a fictitious organization, remember to be specific with the product or service it offers. Then, select a location (i.e., country) for the potential joint venture. The location will be the host country.

The newsletter or creative report must include the following:

· The first section (i.e., executive summary) must include at least the following:o The product or service offered by the organization.

o The potential opportunity.

o The location of the opportunity.

· A political risk section.

· A government relations section.

· An alliance section.

· A creative format.

· At least one picture for each section.

· At least one headline for each section.

· Be easily legible (i.e., high contrast colors for text).

· The equivalent of two pages (8.5 inches x 11 inches).

Consider using templates that are available online. For instance, Microsoft Word offers templates for newsletters, brochures, and other types of documents. Using a template saves time on the layout of the document.

This assignment does not have to be in APA style. The writing you submit must be in your own words and include in-text citations where applicable.

Unit II Discussion Board Question

Various organizations, communities, and countries around the world have different value systems. With such a diverse collection of values, communication and diplomacy become challenging for executives and organizational leaders. Not only is communication challenging, implementing organizational policies becomes difficult within internationally integrated organizations. To work toward common ground among diverse groups, the United Nations established a Global Compact.
Refer to the Principles of the Global Compact and consider the following questions for this discussion:

What is the most important principle to you and why?
What is the least important principle to you and why?

Please include the name of the person or question to which you are replying in the subject line. For example, “Tom’s response to Susan’s comment.”

Unit III Discussion Board Question

Luthans and Doh (2012) include details about how managerial values change or transition over time. Do you feel that one’s professional values can change? Can the values of an industry change? Why, or why not?

Please include the name of the person or question to which you are replying in the subject line. For example, “Tom’s response to Susan’s comment.”

unit 5

For this discussion board, the entire class will participate in a negotiation exercise.

Scenario: A multinational organization in China has experienced dramatic growth in the past two years. Recently, the executive staff has been reading about outsourcing costs, and they want to renegotiate their contract with Outsourcing Company. For Outsourcing Company, this is the largest client and the third request to renegotiate the contract and reduce the price. Accepting the offer guarantees a large client but reduces the likelihood to accept new clients because of the demanding workload for the staff. Not accepting the offer to renegotiate the contract could result in releasing a significant number of employees and suffering a loss for the next two years, unless Outsourcing Company can land another large client. So, risk is involved. As the international management team, you have been tasked to consider all of the associated variables and choose the course of action that best supports Outsourcing Company. Should Outsourcing Company accept the offer and maintain the contract, or do you have an alternative suggestion? Negotiate among yourselves, the international management team for Outsourcing Company, for the best solution. Support your negotiations with an explanation.

Goal: To maintain sales numbers at Outsourcing Company.

Please include the name of the person or question to which you are replying in the subject line. For example, “Tom’s response to Susan’s comment.”
