Cross-Cultural Training Session 8

 Today, we started the class with a review of the previous class about the persuasion and bargaining strategy—finding a solution that is fair for all parties. The professor made us do a case study about the Brazilian and US American. There were a lot of cultural differences between the two that might come off as rude, impolite or stiff and we discussed how we can manage that. Then, we dived into the mathematical problem again. The question is who's going to pay one and find the pie.

World Politics Session 9 and 10

Today, we reviewed what we learned last week about International Organisations and how the taxonomy works between public and private international organisations, including the scopes, the functions, the specific purposes. The IO have no right or power to decide the law, they are going to support governments in doing that and the government go back and sign it and the ratification process works out within their respective parliaments. The principal-agent problem happens usually when there is a conflict of interest between the owner/shareholder and the people hired to do the work for them. For example: The workers wants to have a higher salary and become more ambitious without much care for the risk as the employer and obviously, the employer wants to limit it.

MAR3001 Consumer Behaviour Learning Journal #1

In the first session today, the individual and group assignments were addressed while we became acquainted with the fundamental basics of consumer behaviour. According to the slides (2021), the study of consuming is known as consumer behaviour. Its goal is to gain a better understanding of consumer actions and processes in making purchasing decisions, as well as product and service usage and disposal. We have also taken note that consumer behaviour is a vital part of marketing. The CRM system especially plays a major role in attracting customers and retaining them. This system enables the company to collect data and purchases behaviour in order to optimise customer's acquisition and generate promotion and sales accordingly.  The core theory of consumer behaviour lies in the Engel, Kollatt, and Blackwell (EKB) decision making model. The model starts with problem recognition, where the consumer is knowingly or unknowingly searching for something. Then comes the information search, wh

Cross-Cultural Training Session 9 and 10

Today, we started the class with the presentations and we moved to the topic of corporate culture, which should have been done for the group assignments. A corporate culture should bridge cultural differences and integrate employees from different national cultures under one set of corporate vallues, beliefs, attitude, and above-all behavioral rules. Then, we moved on to the onion rings that included symbols (words, pictures, gestures or objects, that have specific meaning in a firm such as titles, dress code, work hours), heroes (individuals with a certain chracteristics which act as a role model for careers and desired behaviors), rituals ( activities to integrae employees from different national and professional cultures such as Budgeting and Controlling, Project Management, Greeting, first name) and practices (bringing all elements together). Hofstede created a system, similar to the national culture, for corporate culture. Process-oriented vs. Results-oriented, Employee-oriented v
