Assignment culture 3

The philosophies of Dr. Hofstede's dimensions are distance versus power, collectivism versus individualism, avoiding uncertainty, femininity versus masculinity and short term orientation versus long-term orientation (Sergiu, 2011). Over the years after he came up with these dimensions, there has been a variety of arguments. Some scholars are for, and some are against; to understand the basis of these arguments, it is first imperative to understand Hofstede's approach to cross culture application (Zaiț, 2002).
Dr. Hofstede's approach is used mostly in cross-cultural management (Zaiț, 2002). Cross-cultural management is the direct result of the world turning into a global village. Due to ...

Contemporary business, political and social environments have changed under the influence of globalization, consequent internationalization of business portfolios, size and scale of the activities and even the tremendously increased international mobility of individuals. It is difficult to argue that the future of the Oil and Gas industry have changed with the growing influence of OPEC, economic growth, observed in non-OECD countries and climate change policies and legislation around the globe (Martin, 1995). The access to the new fossil reserves and the changes in the distribution of these resources also have had a significant impact on the ways the future ...

HR CULTURE-CROSS HR STRATEGIES

Hofstede came up with the cultural dimensions which are still being practiced today as a pre-requisite to the understanding of the concept of cross cultural communication. These dimensions are also said to have a strong influence on the values of members of a society and also on how these values link to the behavior. Cultural dimensions give insight into how organizations and businesses would make policies for a specific location. The six dimensions of culture include power distance, individualism, masculinity, uncertainty avoidance, long term orientation and indulgence (Hofstede, 1984; Hofstede, Hofstede, and Minkov, 1991). Before actually relating these dimensions ...

Executive Summary

The contemporary business environment is characterized by globalization.

As noted by Davies and Crawford (2011), firms with good financial records are attractive to both current and potential investors. However, one critical factor considered by the potential investors before investing in a company is its creditworthiness. A company may record high revenues, but its creditworthiness can be doubt. For the company to be creditworthy, it must significantly reduce its debt funding through the maximization of the internal sources of finance and equity (Delen, Kuzey and Uyar 2013). Additionally, the company’s management must ensure that the capital structure of the company maximizes the shareholder wealth. This ...

Abstract

The purpose of this experiment was to determine the specific heat capacity of unknown substance and use the quantity to identify the substance. The specific heat capacities of the metals were determined to be 0.890 Jg-1K-1 and 0.361 Jg-1K-1. The metals were identified as aluminum and copper respectively. The percentage uncertainty in the determination of specific heat capacities of aluminum and copper were found to be 0.78% and 6.23% respectively. These errors were attributed to loss of heat in the atmosphere.

1. Which side would you take in the debate between Huerta and Calder? I think Calder makes a substantial point that Huerta is not able to overcome. Huerta's solution to scope creep is more upfront planning and more disciplined decision making. Many projects at the company are behind schedule and over budget. Huerta's analysis seems logical and reasonable in that she locates poor and undisciplined planning from the start as the root cause of the problem. Calder's problem with this reasoning is that it is too simplistic in its time line of when the problems start and how to ...

Oscillatory Motion

Introduction
The purpose of the experiment was to evaluate the spring constant of a spring connected to mass and to determine the effect of varying mass on the period of oscillation. It was hypothesized that the increase in mass would lead to increase in the period of the oscillating spring.

Theory

Hooke’s Law
According to Hooke’s law, the restoring force (F) of a stretched spring is proportional to its extension (x) (Mansfield and Colm, 39).
F ∞ x
F = - k x

Where F is the restoring force, x is the extension and k is a constant of proportionality called spring constant.

The negative sign indicate that the direction of restoring force is opposite that of extension.
