Cultural Considerations in Learning and Development
You are currently the head trainer of a global U.S. automobile manufacturer. The organization has decided to expand its operations into the Eastern market such as China, Japan, and Singapore. The vice president of human resources has asked that you create a proposal outlining your plans for a new hire orientation program for the Eastern market. In your proposal, include the elements listed below.
Discuss how the Eastern market will potentially view new hire orientation, and then discuss two to three ways to tailor the new hire orientation to this market.
Discuss how the Eastern market perceives the relationship between the learner and trainer.
Discuss who will be responsible for giving the new hire orientation to the Eastern employees and how the orientation will be delivered. For example, will a local who is familiar with the language deliver a live orientation training session, or will it be a remote training session with a translator? Will it be some other delivery method? Once the method is chosen, discuss why this method is appropriate for the given market.
Adaptive Sports Global (ASG) Corporation*
This brand new ASG startup company has just hired you on as one of three new marketing product line managers reporting to the marketing director. Several years in the planning, the start-up is now becoming operational. The founders are engineers and managers who are sports enthusiasts that wanted better clothing and gear to pursue their sports passions. Besides hiring based on specific qualifications for the particular job, they only hire athletes and weekend sports enthusiasts who use various types of sporting gear and clothing in their personal lives and can therefore relate to the user. They allow the first two weeks at the company for intensive training and using the gear to become thoroughly familiar with the product. Whatever feedback they get from users they funnel into the production and design to make improvements. All production is done within the United States (U.S.) The founders want to keep the company relatively small in staff but with a global market. The headquarters is located outside of Pittsburg PA. The headquarters building as well as their production facilities (which predominantly uses robots for actual production work) and large warehouse are Green Seal® and LEED certified®*(Green Seal; BuidingGreen, 2019). The company is committed to planting the amount of trees each year to offset their carbon emissions generated from production. The majority of products are currently sold directly to customers through the company website. The mission of the company is: We make quality clothes and equipment that we sell to active people anywhere, that adapt to the terrain and climate in a sustainable manner.
The objectives, according to the executives of ASG, are:
Create sustainable clothes that adapt to temperature variations and weather conditions in a sustainable manner.
Design and produce sports equipment that will adapt to (1) differing terrains and climates as well as (2) adapt to different sports and (3) provide excellent performance.
The department has hired you as one of three new marketing product line managers (you can read the general product manager job duties).

Title:

Objectives:
Research Questions:
Health care organizations face many unprecedented challenges and opportunities. Diversity is a major challenge that continues to overwhelm management teams. This challenge is noticeable in top leadership roles in health care where a lack of diversity exists in the areas of gender, ethnicity, and race. There is a documented need for diverse leadership teams with transformational leadership skills to successfully lead organizations. Remediation of this gap is critical to the advancement of health care delivery and systems. Senior management must consider the deficiency and develop a strategic process to invoke change.
Suppose you are the executive director of the hypothetical organization Better Health Today, LLC. The board of directors has informed you that the organization has missed out on major federal funding opportunities over the past three to five years. The grant reviewer’s feedback describes the organization’s lack of diversity and community support to promote social change. The board of directors has asked you to review the issues noted in the reviewer’s feedback and provide recommendations to improve the reputation of the company.
Instructions:
Write a 5–6 page paper in which you:
Based on your knowledge of leadership theory, specify two key competencies needed to improve community relations. Provide support for your rationale.
Examine the impact that the lack of diversity has on the community meeting national public health initiatives. Analyze two of the major challenges the organization faces in improving diversity.
As a senior level manager, compose at least two strategies designed to minimize the impact that lack of diversity may have on the organization. Recommend one approach for implementing each suggested strategy. Provide support for your recommendations.
Design the key resources and main communication efforts required to implement the minimizing strategies that you suggested. Justify your position.
You read about and practiced with various concepts regarding organizational structure and culture, which affect employee behavior and success. Read the scenario carefully and provide your response to the checklist items regarding the organizational structure and culture in the fictional organization provided below.
Scenario (fictional):
An industry consulting firm has the following structure and culture:
All the employees at this consulting firm work full-time. All the full-time consultants report to various industry directors, depending on the industry contract. The company employees work mostly from home, with directors or consultants renting temporary office space with or without videoconferencing when needed for either client meetings or vendor meetings. The company is very successful and has an expanding client base. There are very few rules or expectations at the company, as the CEO also believes in keeping processes very simple.
The previous president retired about 6 months ago, and the CEO, together with a human resources firm, hired a new president. The new company president they hired is extremely smart and expects everyone at the company to display an expert demeanor as well.
About 2 months ago, the company’s employees (i.e., consultants) started receiving emails from the new president putting pressure on all of them to produce results in less time but pressuring them to charge the clients higher fees without making any more money for themselves. In addition, the new president now wants the staff to come into the temporary office three times a week for meetings. Three months ago, the new president hired 30 new full-time consultants that seem more like salespersons than consultants to existing employees. A few of the long-time consultants have been emailing the CEO about these changes and suggesting they may go elsewhere. In the meantime, the finance director has detected several anomalies in the contract terms and financial results from some of the new consultants and one or two of the existing consultants.
Checklist:
Describe the organizational structure at this consulting firm and how it affects employee behavior:
Name the type of structure in the organization.
Provide a definition of the type of structure in the organization.
Explain how the structure affects employee behavior.
Describe how the changes to the organization’s culture might affect employee behavior.
Provide a recommendation for any adjustments you think need to be made at this organization based on the readings and explain why.
Topic 1: Organization Structure
Do some research on the Internet and explain what a flat organization structure refers to. Then provide an example and explain why it is considered flat.
Which type of organization will be around in the long term, in your opinion? Which organization type (based on structural attributes) would you want to work for?
Topic 2: Cultural Dimensions
As a precursor to the assignment you will submit in Unit 10, you will address cultural dimensions as seen in your learning activity and the reading on pages 163–165 from Chapter 5 (Hofstede’s framework and the GLOBE framework). Review these and do some research on the Internet. Then address topic 2:
For a fictitious company that has manufacturing facilities in the United States and one other country of your choice (for instance, Brazil, South Africa, or India), select two of the five value dimensions from Hofstede’s framework (from pages 163–165 in Chapter 5), and compare/contrast these dimensions with how the United States facility would be run versus the one you have selected, based on these work-related values.
