...Dennis Oppenheim, Terrestrial Studio at Storm King Art Center (May 14 – November 13, 2016) is a giddy jaunt through pristine outdoor sculpture in its natural habitat. Featuring newly realized works such as “Entrance to a Garden” and “Dead Furrow”, this exhibition breathes new life into the meaning of a living legacy and subsequently into the 500 acre grounds of storm king itself. Oppenheim, (1938-2011) coming out of the conceptual movement, first became known for his land art pieces in the mid 1960’s. In the 1970s he used film and video in relation to performance works and through the 80’s and beyond he created with primarily industrial materials for the “transformation of everyday objects in art”. Oppenheim’s broad brushstroke of a career speaks of playfulness and exploration “His aim is not to limit himself to the creation of objects but develop an ambiguous and problematic sign system that compels viewers to question themselves about the absolute instability of the universe around them.” (Fitz, Excerpt) A tour of the grounds leads the viewer to discover Oppenheim’s sculpture dappled throughout the permanent collection at precisely optimum density. A rhythm of old and new with a hide and seek anticipation only fuels the participatory vein of the experience. Six sculptural installations and one sound piece grace the exterior grounds for the exhibition, while scaled models, drawings, photography, and video create a more intimate yet fully integrated portrait within the galleries...

Case introduction (describe relevant case background and scope of analysis): The case is clearly about the email exchanges between both Johannes van den Bosch and his British client, Malcolm Smythe- Jones. However, his colleague at the Mexican City office was in charge of the dealings, hence the differences and the lack in communication. In this case, there is a matter of time different at both firms which causes delays with emails back and forth; particularly from a client in Britain. Thus causing confusion between old time veterans Van den Bosch and Mendez, along with the disappointment Van den Bosch puts across to Mendez, Van den Bosh did not reread what he had sent. There is clear spelling and grammar mistakes throughout the email, as well as expressing concerns for clients over his co-workers. It is quite obvious that there is no sense of understanding cultural differences, no effective communication (as said before) and bringing the different perspectives together and building on the issue. ____ / 2 ____ / 2 ____ / 2 ____ / 2 B.

...JOHANNES VAN DEN BOSCH SENDS AN EMAIL Copyright 2000 by IMD - International Institute for Management Development, Lausanne, Switzerland After having had several email exchanges with his Mexican counterpart over several weeks without getting expected actions and results, Johannes van den Bosch was getting a tongue-lashing from his British MNC client, who was furious at the lack of progress. Van den Bosch, in the Rotterdam office of BigFiveFirm (B&FF), and his colleague in the Mexico City office, Pablo Menendez, were both seasoned veterans and van den Bosch couldn't understand the lack of responsiveness. A week earlier, the client, Malcolm Smythe-Jones, had visited his office to express his mounting frustration. But this morning he had called with a stream of verbal abuse. His patience was exhausted. Feeling angry himself, van den Bosch composed a strongly worded message to Mendez, and then decided to cool off. A half-hour later, he edited it to “stick-to-the-facts” while still communicating the appropriate level of urgency. As he clicked to send the message, he hoped that it would finally provoke some action to assuage his client with the reports he had been waiting for. He reread the email, and as he saved it to the mounting record in Smythe-Jones's file, he thought, "I'm going to be happy when this project is over for another year!"
