Harvard Case Analysis

Iris is a Graduate Assistant at the College of Business, she has been here for two years working on a MBA. Iris was willing to let me interview her about her Chinese culture, and had some surprising things to say. To begin, Iris is the first member of her family to live abroad. So, she has had to learn how to manage her time between work and studying on her own. That has been her greatest challenge here at Kent. Iris believed that to be more challenging because the academic environment is more serious with higher comprehensive requirements.

After reading this case I found many of my thoughts and impressions of China to be valid. For my Masters a capstone project was a researched and developed a business plan to open a retail story in China; that lead to research in the Chinese culture. With exception of the section of the cased referred to as “Myth 1: Collectivism” (Kreitner & Kinicki, 2014) which did challenge some earlier research on the subject group/collectivism mentality in the Chinese culture. The text itself argues that China is more collective in nature as described as “China, and France also ended up toward the collectivist end of the scale” (Kreitner & Kinicki, 2014). I believe what is happening in China is a revolution of feelings towards the importance of self. A researched named Edward Wong makes the case that the Chinese business culture is not clearly one or the other in regards to collectivism or individualism (WONG, 2001). Wong research shows that the Chinese culture has different social needs and that reflects to others that China is collective in its culture. In reference to “Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs” Wong suggests higher level needs are different in China because of social and ecconomical stations of the population (WONG, 2001) and that the highest level of the hierarchy is not self actualation as it is decribed in western cultures. Wong described the Chinese culture’s highest need as “status” (WONG, 2001) which is much more individualist in

Coach Mike Krzyzewski (Coach K.) and Coach Robert Knight (Coach Knight) were two of the most winning and successful coaches to ever coach basketball. These men are not just known for their record wins, but for their unique leadership. They each had a unique way of leading their teams. Coach Knight was Indiana University’s head basketball coach and became a legend there. Coach K. was the head coach at Duke University since 1980. A fact of interest, both of these two men knew each other in an earlier time. Coach Knight had been Mike Krzyzewski’s basketball coach when he played for the United States Military Academy at West Point. It was there they began to build a relationship of trust and respect that would follow and remain with them

In order to understand the present day accounting methods and principles of China and Japan it is essential to understand the history of both of these nations and focus on the issues that have led to these events.

The 21st century business landscape will be challenging and competitive on an international scale. The curriculum at NYU will provide me the necessary foundation to personify creativity and innovation. With the accession of China into the WTO, the future of business and trade will surely create a new horizon and give many new opportunities to a new generation of students and aspiring business leaders, such as myself. Along with a substantive grounding in the social and cultural context of all business activity and interpersonal and communications skills essential to a successful business career, I am also Chinese. As a native to Taiwan, my fluency in Mandarin Chinese will further allow me to rise above the rest and thrive in a culture I am greatly familiar with.

According to Yuan (2005), “Guanxi” refers to a personal relationship with materialistic aims. A contrast from Western culture, Chinese businessmen favor “guanxi” over the rules of law and will generally pursue such material gains relentlessly. It is crucial that foreign businesses are aware of the importance of this term “guanxi” in order to maintain their personal relationships with government officers or partners. The Chinese business is a type of organization developed from wealth ventures by overseas Chinese entrepreneurs. Such single person dominating organization structures are basic with limited operative functions and are successful in niche industries that are less complicated to operate for example, property, trading and basic manufacturing industries. Undoubtedly, Chinese are well-known for their hard working ethic and close family relationships and therefore that contributed to the extensive network of Chinese businesses in the Asia pacific region for example, Hong Kong and Taiwan. There have been extensive changes in Chinese business systems whereby its second generations are now educated in western countries with more reformative mentalities as compared to their older generations (Chen,

全球大宗商品年报 莫尼塔全球宏观研究云平台 2015 年 1 月 6 日星期二 2015：原油再平衡元年 原油 核心提示 2014 年油价暴跌最核心的驱动因素在于供给的增加，而油价反弹同样只能 依赖供给出现减少。2015 年供给变化的可能路径主要有三种： 1）委内瑞 拉国内出现军事对抗导致其国内原油产量骤减；2）美国部分页岩油企业出 现破产倒闭；3）下半年美国原油产量增速减慢结合美元升值放缓。 这三种情形都将触发原油供需再归于平衡，从而支撑油价出现反弹。2015 年原油料呈现先跌后涨格局，我们预计布伦特全年中枢为 65 美元/桶。 报告摘要  油价暴跌缘起供给激增，反弹也必须依赖供给减少。14 年 7 月利比亚 恢复原油出口后产量激增，是本轮油价暴跌的导火索；而 OPEC 大打 价格战争夺市场份额，加剧了原油跌势。不过归根到底，页岩气革命 后美国产量大幅增长才是油价下跌的根本原因。短期内经济增长对于 原油需求的拉动有限，因此寄望油价反弹还必须依赖供给端的减少。  2015 年油价先跌后涨，全年中枢 65 美元/桶。15 年年初原油大概率仍 将维持下跌趋势，而供给出现减少后油价料将出现反弹。根据可能出 现的三种情形假设，我们预计 2015 年布伦特油价中枢为 65 美元/桶。  OPEC 主动减产概率不大。页岩油对全球原油市场的影响类似上世纪 北海油田开发。当时，沙特采取减少产量以维持高价的策略，最终深 受其害。这次沙特很可能吸取了上次的教训，其主动减产可能不大。 而伊拉克、伊朗、利比亚都处在产量恢复期，减产可能也较有限。 
