The former communist regime of Mao Zedong has opened itself to the world since the end of the Cultural Revolution in . This change is most apparent from the economic point of view and also from a social perspective. From on, foreign investors were allowed to enter the country to present their know-how as well as to bring in liquidity. As a consequence, there are constantly more goods manufactured in China for the global market. The progress of the economic trend clearly shows the increase of China s influence on the world market. In the year , China achieved a gross domestic product of CYN billion (about EUR billion) with a population of almost 1.3 billion people. This is an income per capita of CYN (about EUR ). In the year , the income per capita amount was only CYN (about EUR 774). This shows an increase of approximately 55 per cent only within five years. The figure on next page shows the growth of China s GDP within the past 50 years. Today Germany has a population of about 82 million people.

Working with Cultural Differences: Dealing Effectively with

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brislin, Richard, PUBLISHER: Praeger, Given the internationalization of business, and the increasing need to work effectively with culturally diverse people in one's own country, people are facing new and more common challenges in developing workplace relationships. The challenges include communicating across differences in the use of silence and indirectness, dealing with negative exchanges, or neutral exchanges that one party perceives as negative, making decisions, working through criticisms and disagreements, and interpreting changing workplace dynamics. In this book, Distinguished Professor Richard Brislin shows us that helpful guidelines for everyday intercultural interactions are clear in information that has been gathered across the fields of cross-cultural psychology, organizational behavior and intercultural communication. A psychologist and a professor of management, Brislin uses actual examples he calls critical incidents to illustrate the basic psychological processes that play a part in effective, and ineffective, intercultural relationships across workplaces. The differences they face include individual and collective cultural background, the relative emphasis placed on the importance of status and power, behaviors relative to a culture's social norms, and gender expectations of males and females in the workplace. Insights explained here allow readers understand how they can benefit from, rather than be frustrated by, intercultural experiences, and how to better develop such relations. Short stories throughout the text demonstrate how actual people in business recognized and dealt with intercultural issues, at home and abroad.

Classical Motivation Theories - Similarities and Differences

Classical Motivation Theories - Similarities and Differences between them: Introduction 'We always do what we MOST WANT to do, whether or not we like what we are doing at each instant of our lives. Wanting and liking many times are not the same thing. Many people have done what they say they didn't want to do at a particular moment. And that may be true until one looks deeper into the motivation behind the doing. What they are really saying is the price they will have to pay or the consequences they will have to endure, for not doing that something may be too high or onerous for them not to do it. Such as going to work. Many people say they don't want to go to work and yet they do. Which means they don't want to risk losing their jobs and the negative hurting emotions associated with not having a job. It has been estimated about 90% to 95% of all people work at jobs which are unfulfilling and which they dislike and would leave in a minute if they only knew what they really wanted to do.' Sidney Madwed (quotationspage.com/search.php3 homesearch=motivation accessed on ) The quotation defines that nowadays motivation should be an indispensable part of every company. It is a complex and difficult topic and therefore management also has to take historical theories into account. Furthermore, it has to be figured out what employees designate as attractive for defining an effective motivation programme within the organisation. This dissertation will critically evaluate what motivation is and illustrate the different kinds of motivation theories of Abraham Maslow, Frederick Herzberg and Clayton P. Alderfer by explaining the key concepts for managing and motivating people. Due to the fact that motivation, especially employee motivation, is such a broad topic the dissertation will put a specific focus on the similarities and differences between the classical motivation theories.
