1. What is your evaluation of Chung's performance?
Chung has been operating under what he feels are the established norms for his culture. Ted's relationship with the Taiwanese client exhibits the Chinese management principles of paternalism, particularism, and insecurity. The patron-client relationship is based in a sense of mutual obligation, where the client is expected to defer to Ted's expertise and Ted is expected to trade the account responsibly. (Moorhouse, 2005) Ted also used social networking to establish himself in the community which is expected in the Chinese culture. By attending events Ted increases his “visibility and prestige” which contributes to the face that is needed to be considered a trustworthy business partner

If you look at the above traits the problems Karen is having with Ted can be directly tied to the differences in their cultures. Although Ted is doing business in what he perceives as his cultural norm this doesn’t mean he has done everything correctly either. Ted should also be aware that cultural differences exist and if he would have been willing to communicate those differences to Karen things may not have escalated to the point they did in the case. It is a must in all forms of business today if you are to succeed that you make yourself and your organization aware of cultural differences and have some sort of program set up to address these differences to allow multi-cultures to work together as a single unit.
2. If you were Leary, how would you respond to Chung's request for a private office?
It is unfortunate that we are now at a point that an ultimatum has been given to Karen. Karen has now been backed into a corner and the best she could do at this point is to negotiate over the private office. If Karen’s goal to develop the Taiwanese market is to happen she must find a solution to bridge their cultural differences. Ted may be willing to negotiate with Karen as long as it does not appear that he is losing face. If they can agree on a set of goals or terms of service once met that will give Ted his private office then it
Unlike all the other women in Merrill Lynch, during Leary's first year business went up by 30%! Later on at Merrill Lynch when she has to hire Chung the first thing he asks for is his own private office to deal with Taiwanese business. Then when they start and he is asked to sit at a sales assistant desk (norm) he simply says it is beneath him and refuses to sit there showing us his prominent role confusion. Unlike all the other employees Chung did not sift in the office he spent most of his time outside of the office and attending various events of the Taiwanese community.
After close review and careful analysis of the case of Andrea Yates and the circumstances which led to the drowning death and murder of her five children, I first would like to state my personal opinion on the conclusion of the case which was the majority consensus at the time of her trial and sentencing. She was guilty of a horrible murder and although certainly had mental problems, which is apparent by her actions that most completely rational thinking human being and mother would be incapable of committing, and expertly
Green Meadows Hospital is newly constructed community hospital owned by Southern Hospitals Corporation. Kate Cooper was very excited when she got a new position at Green Meadows as a Manager of Adult Services. They started hiring people and were getting ready to open the hospital. However, things did not go well as they planned and wanted to. Therefore, Kate had to resign. The biggest problem that I see in this was their unorganized management skills and communications skills. They should have more prepared since they were new hospital and related to people’s lives but from the beginning, it seemed like they did not think that it was a big of deal and just went it the flow.
It is initially hard to distinguish which of these tangible or intangible factors are more important. Based on the cultural dimensions and values identified further in the report, it is clear that each has its own importance and merit. Understanding the cultural norms and expectations at play in the case study are critical to resolving the conflict at hand. Whilst Kelly believed she had adequate prior knowledge of the Japanese culture, it is clear that she is not as well versed as she thinks.
Since this segment of the industry was easily influenced by economic conditions, the threat of substitutes was strong (Appendix C).

Andrea Yates long history of mental illness did impact what she did to her children as well as an outside influence of Michael and Rachel Woroniecki. In 1993 Rusty and Andrea married and a year later they had their first child a son named Noah. They planned on having many children whatever God intended for them. Their five children were all named after figures from the Bible. After Andrea’s first child Noah was born she began to have violent visions and felt that Satan was speaking to her. Andrea kept all her feelings to herself not realizing how much mental illness was in her family because she and Rusty had Bible inspired notions about family and motherhood. Andrea tried to have a fourth child, but suffered a miscarriage. Not long
During the pre-revolutionary period, more and more men worked outside the home in workshops, factories or offices. Many women stayed at home and performed domestic labor. The emerging values of nineteenth-century America, which involves the eighteenth-century, increasingly placed great emphasis upon a man's ability to earn enough wages or salary to make his wife's labor unnecessary, but this devaluation of women's labor left women searching for a new understanding of themselves. Judith Sargent Murray, who was among America's earliest writers of female equality, education, and economic independence, strongly advocated equal opportunities for women. She wrote many essays in order to empower young women in the new republic to stand up against
During communications with Chung, Leary could never gauge exactly what Chung was thinking and never recognized that communication constraints could have been causing a barrier between them. Instead Leary kept her suspicions about Chung and checked over his work on a daily basis to ensure compliance but never had Chung’s full commitment.
In this constantly evolving television landscape, HBO executive Kathleen McCaffrey admits that she is uncertain about what the future holds for her career and for the industry, in general. However, McCaffrey confidently states, “There will always be people who have to choose content and support a creative mind.”
Belonging to a certain group is a natural experience in the lives of individuals. Groups are categorizable by a variety of options but often expel a trait that epitomizes each individual within the group such as rank, societal merit, or simply just appearance. Behaviorism gratifies purpose within cohort mentality among those in an association due to the psychological commonalities that bring these groups together. When it comes to an individual's development within a certain group, joint mentality helps create a safe environment but often times supports ideologies of self empowerment. Anthropologist Karen Ho composes the analysis of students whom graduate Ivy League universities and enter into financial professions, in her essay “Biographies
As I mentioned above, main reasons are misunderstanding caused by cultural difference. And Karen should give the solution, because she is the decision maker for this case. Also, Karen uses only one way to manage her
And finally, there is the issue of staff mismanagement. The supervisor, Keith Frazier, is only checking in with this department one to two times per week. Mr. Frazier is aware that Pat is making international phone calls. He is also aware that Pauline found a way for Pat to make these calls from the building’s elevator once he had the phone system modified to only allow internal calls. Mr. Frazier has also been fielding complaints from the accountants about not receiving their tax schedules in a timely fashion. However, he has failed to confront either of these issues. This lack of management can be attributed to the following:
