I was asked to choose one of these groups, and discuss the impact, that the Western, or European cultures, had on the group. .(Sayre, 2008)). The non-western group, which I decided to research on, is the Native American group. Unit 4 Europeans had their first encounters, with Native Americans, in the seventh century. The area, in which it was mostly confined to, was in the eastern part of the continent. They accelerated westward, during the aftermath, of Louisiana Purchase, and the Revolutionary war.

I was asked to choose one of these groups, and discuss the impact, that the Western, or European cultures, had on the group. . (Sayre, 2008)). The non-western group, which I decided to research on, is the Native American group. The Western nations, in the last part of the nineteenth century, were revitalized by the effectiveness of the new military, the communications, and by their naval technology. (Sayre, 2010, p.419).

...There has been much debate about whether globalization is undermining state sovereignty in the study of world politics today. This is due to the fact that the term ‘globalization’ itself is rather subjective and broad. There are two rather distinct arguments used in this debate. Hyperglobalists, such as Ohmae1 and Scholte2, hold a pessimistic view and argues that globalization brings about the demise of the sovereign nation state: global forces undermine the ability of governments to control their own economics and societies. In contrast, ‘the sceptics reject the idea of globalization as so much “globaloney”’3: by emphasizing the continuing importance of states in world politics, academics such as Krasner4 and Gilpin5 argue that states and geopolitics remain the principal agents and forces shaping world order today. In this essay, we will firstly define the terms ‘globalization’ and ‘state sovereignty’. Looking at the impact of globalisation domestically and internationally of a state, we will pin point which aspects of state sovereignty are being undermined before looking at the arguments proposed by the “sceptics”. Then we will conclude whether or not, or to what extent is globalization undermining state sovereignty. 1 Ohmae, K. (1995), The End of the Nation State, New York: Free Press. Scholte, J.A.

Whether we are talking about marketing information, cost projections, accounting results, or internal quality reports, every company depends on knowledge to support its planning, decision-making, and control. So how does knowledge fit into the picture? The emergence of the field called knowledge management has highlighted some key propositions in the last 10 years or so. All organizations are storehouses of knowledge that operate in information-rich environments made up of people and things both inside and outside the organization itself Organizations organize, interpret, and evaluate this information to solve organizational problems Knowledge is the primary mechanism for processing and utilizing information People's brains are the key knowledge resource of any organization Codified knowledge stored in books, audio, videotapes, and computer systems can be an important knowledge resource as well There are organizational processes and strategies for IT management and management in general. Therefore, processes and strategies in particular can significantly enhance the ability of organizations to...

...DEVELOPING AN INCENTIVE PLAN FOR SALES PERSONNEL FROM DIFFERENT CULTURES Expanded Background Selling is an integral part of international business. For consumer goods, customers usually meet with sales personnel in retail stores. For industrial goods, the sales personnel usually visit potential buyers in their offices. Sales personnel may be expatriates (home-country nationals who re-locate abroad) or host-country nationals. Firms usually prefer to hire hostcountry nationals, because they are less expensive than expatriates to employ and house. But hiring foreign nationals poses challenges because of the cultural differences that characterize such personnel. Motivating the sales force is challenging because of differences in values and norms across cultures. In order to inspire a culturally diverse sales force, managers in charge of international sales must acquire specific knowledge and skills. Sophisticated managers are sensitive to the needs and personality traits of the sales personnel that they supervise. The most successful managers possess a deep understanding of human behavior and are able to use these skills to their advantage. They are aware that sales personnel from different cultures fall into a range of different personality types. For example, factors that motivate a sales associate from Japan are likely to differ substantially from those that motivate a sales associate from Sweden. This is because the two sales personnel differ along various cultural dimensions...
