The International Expansion Into Shanghai

Transformational leaders encourage group work, as they connect each follower’s identity and self to the project and collective identity of the corporation. They are role models for other staff and this inspires them and makes them

However, a downward trend is evident in the actual multi-cropping index, caused principally by the increasing costs of farming and limitations in the supply of labor. We argue that improving the utilization rate of the enhanced agro-climatic resources is possible by introducing new combinations of cultivars, adopting more laborsaving technologies, and providing incentives to farmers.

First of all, every little detail is necessary for a job applicant. The interviewer has to select specific questions in order to find the best applicant for the job.

In this paper, I will conduct a unit transformational process activity using the five steps that are associated with it. First, I will attempt to convince you that my unit lacks Organizational/Structural Diversity. Then I will combine with it the Eight Steps for Transforming an Organization. Finally, I will explain how Transformational Leadership plays a significant role in the process. Now that I have established my talking points, next I will tackle the discovery process.

Transformational leadership needs to be fostered at all levels in the firm. In order to succeed, the firm needs to have the flexibility to forecast and meet new demands and changes as they occur —and only transformational leadership can enable the firm to do so (Bass, 1990, p. 31).

In 1937 Japan committed one of the bloodiest battles in history. A three month process had overtaken both Shanghai and Nanking. Months prior to the actual massacre, Japan sent over 100 air raids into both Nanking and Shanghai to kill endless civilians before they had even arrived. This helped sweep out the land to create less survivors. Japan rounded up thousands of Chinese men, women, and children only to slaughter them mercilessly. Women in China would shave their heads to look like the men and the Chinese soldiers were forced into hiding. Everyone was a target in order for Japan to overthrow the Chinese government. Over the course of three months, 300,000 Chinese civilians were murdered in cold blood. The Japanese would disguise themselves

Shanghai, China blows away every other country throughout the world. The United States is seen as pretty much average across the boards and frankly cannot even compare Shanghai. Shanghai, China led the world as the highest scores in Math, Science, and Reading on the 2012 PISA test. Compared to the United States is just under a 100 points from the U.S. in math, science, and reading. In math Shanghai scored a 613, science score was 580, and lastly reading was a 570. The international average in math is 494, reading is 496, and science is 501. As said in a previous paragraphs and seen in the chart on page two the U.S. could learn a few things from a lot of other countries. Shanghai being at the top of the list clearly shows it is leading the world

All this is taking place against the backdrop of an inexorable longer term shift of power gravity from west to east, the growth of Brazil, Russia, India and China (the BRIC countries), which are in turn facing their own growth challenges, and the rise of new emerging economies. These macro-economic trends have a significant impact on the way in which businesses operate, the priorities they face, and the strategies they develop to be successful on a global platform.

I was considered a “Chinese-American” since birth and my knowledge of my heritage is minuscule. I decided to pick Shanghai as my host country for this reason and by doing so I will be able to explore more of my parents’ origin or the culture I am raised by. By learning more about the culture I’m raised by, I’ll gain more insight as to why my parents practice certain traditions which I deemed as futile. For instance, I never knew why they prayed to an “omniscient being” where there’s no proof of existence and I question some of their actions sometimes. Despite that, there are certain constituents of these traditions which I enjoy and they’ll most likely be in Shanghai as well. Also, being able to experience this summer abroad program is significant

In times of uncertainty and failure I believe that a transformational leader would inspire performance and creative behaviors in their employees to meet the emerging needs of their organization. I believe that the transformational leader would have the ability to motivate his or her employees and inspire them to trust and be loyal employees. Additionally, I think that a transformational leader would continue to maintain daily operations and continue to stimulate their employees to perform with confidence to achieve the goal and meet the standards of the organization.

A role of woman and their fashion shows Chinese culture in the past. Another aspect of life in Old Shanghai is the fashion. The female characters, as well as their fashion style, are focal points of the story. Mrs. Mai, as well as the other female characters in the story, represents the “new women” of the modern city as portrayed. For instance, after a detailed account of the women’s clothing style at the Mahjong table, the narrative continues as the reader is briefly given the historical background. The author illustrates that what kind of accessories Wang Jiazhi wear, as well as her appearance, all symbolize her occupation; she works as a smuggler and her clothes indicate that. The story shows that fashion played a significant role in Chinese

Transformational leaders are able to inspire employees to work towards a common goal by changing their expectations, motivation and perception of why they are doing the work. Transformational leaders cultivate a commitment from their employees, which encourages them to put aside self-interest to work

The Americans treat conception of self on self-reliance and self promotion is more accepted as they value freedom from external interference, while for the Chinese the conception of self is viewed from a group perspective and they value self modesty as well.

Imagine that you are an executive for XYZ, Inc., a high-end retail chain that sells luxury watches, jewelry, and hand bags. You've just been put in charge of the company's first international expansion, opening a store in Shanghai, China. This will be a short-term, small-scale change for the organization. After one year, you will be expected to begin opening additional stores in Brazil, Russia, India, and China (also known as the B.R.I.C. countries). This will be a long-term, large-scale change.

Transformational leadership is a leadership approach in which the leader is tasked with the responsibility of identifying the needed change, and creating an appropriate vision to direct the change through inspiring the team to execute the change (Fairholm & Fairholm, 2009). Transformational leadership is also essential in serving to enhance innovation and motivation, morale and performance of roles of the different followers through the use of various mechanisms such as connecting the sense of identities of the followers or the projects to the collective distinctiveness of the organization. It also requires being a key figure for the followers so as to inspire them and to ensure that they have an interest in the project and to increase this interest. It involves
