...Cross-Cultural Communication Matrix Development of technology made the world smaller to everyone. We can see and talk in real time in the other side of the earth whenever we want. It used to easier for businesses and saves costs of travel, as well. A global business can have meeting with face to face on the screen and discuss matters. New technologies make easy to manage global business. For example, Smartsheet can reduce tons of emails from all over the country for executives by translation task on it (Citrano, 2007). However, if we do not aware and prepare of the incidents of misunderstanding for other cultures, the business could fall back. For example, from my findings, business with Koreans could be difficult if we do not have any idea what their real meaning behind of things. As a Korean, I did not like the way they express themselves. When they say, “No, don’t buy anything for me. I don’t need anything” does not mean they do not want any presents. They want it and want to see if you would keep on resisting to buy it for you. They have three times rule for manners. You refuse three times when someone offers you something, then you take it. From using technology, Korean business person might not fully explain his or her intent and could be misinterpreted. In many times, “yes” means “yes, I heard you” rather than I agree with you for Korean (Worldbusinessculture.com, 2013). Written email cannot be translated hundred percent to other language by technology without seeing...

...Motivations in Advertising Assignment Tommy Jordan PSY/211 July 13, 2015 Ivan Harrell Motivations in Advertising Assignment The commercial that will be used in the evaluation of motivations in advertising is the General Electric (GE) Brilliant Machines Commercial that included Agent Smith from the movie, The Matrix (Framestore Studio, 2013). The commercial’s premise was a creative take on a top Hollywood blockbuster science fiction movie franchise, namely the aforementioned movie, The Matrix (Framestore Studio, 2013). In the commercial, Hugo Weaving, the actor who played the Agent Smith character in all the Matrix movies, is in a hospital highlighting all of the innovative technology that GE is providing to hospitals that help improve medical care through service, equipment, and communication. The commercial’s focus is to show how GE’s software and hardware technology assist healthcare providers to connect patience with doctors and nurses, and machines like magnetic resonance imaging or MRI Scanners. The commercial basically states that using GE’s technology properly will help to streamline processes and reducing waiting times. Agent Smith actually states that by implementing this technology hospitals can turn the waiting room into just another room (Framestore Studio, 2013). In my opinion, this commerical motivates through an incentive based theory and actually mixes the two motivations of intrinsic and extrinsic incentives. The commerical basically plays on the...

... Disadvantages of functional structure include things such as being more Bureurocratic and employees tend to overlook the larger picture of the organization. Daft explains that because these type companies are divided into departments, communication and coordination are slow and decision making may be poor (2013). 2. Another structure is the divisional approach. As opposed to the functional way, there are several teams across the same level that works on their own single product or service. Each of these teams has their own leader or manager. Pros of the divisional approach allow teams to be more focused on their own product or service. This allows them to be flexible and more reactive to changes (Daft, 2013. P. 320). Cons of this structure include higher overhead since it takes more employees to make up the teams and there may be a rivalry between teams due to competition. 3. The matrix is a combination of both functional and divisional (Daft, 2013 p. 321). There may be multiple higher leaders that manage different teams. These leaders report to higher supervisors. The matrix can be very effective since it can be flexible in a rapidly changing world. Teams work better together and have broader responsibilities. The downside to a matrix approach is that it may be more difficult to manage. This approach is very much decentralized, not hierarchical like the others. 4. Recent...

...its operating behaviors in line with its vision and goals, its success in the marketplace is in question. These effects are compounded by its recent acquisition by EDS, a highly bureaucratic organization which will impose some of its own vision, structure, and values upon the company. After thorough examination of Appex’s current organizational structure, its previous structural transitions, its core competencies, the evolution of the industry it serves, and the institutional context into which it is being placed, it is my recommendation that Appex undergo a substantive restructuring. For a company of Appex’s size in this rapidly-evolving, technologically-oriented market a matrix structure is best suited for enabling innovation, performance, and growth. The matrix facilitates communication and information sharing which lead to improved multi-functional coordination. This coordination fosters improvements in existing and new products and services, provides an increased level of efficiency through the reduction of duplication of efforts, and enables a level of...

...What factors do you think contributed to the level of success your team achieved? I believe our team achieved an 8/10 score for our level of success. Initially our team got off to a rocky start, our inability to pick a subject choice I believe inhibited and reduced our research time. However, once we started with some real direct communication and the team members (including myself) were able to contribute effectively, our opinions and ideas started to flow. Creating the google doc and having a structured matrix made communication and providing information easier. The content of our subject choice did change 2-3 times during this process, but I think that this enabled us to think as a team and work to everyone’s strengths. It was using the google drive and the document matrix where we were able to establish which team member would undertake what communication style sub-topic and which themes were most suitable to utilise across each sub-topic. Using the Wiki, emails and Google Docs made communication easier as 1 of our team members lives in a different country and time zone. We were able to bandy suggestions back and forth through these methods and the delay in time didn’t make much of an impact. With regards to the Prezi itself, Megan chose to design and manipulate the Prezi structure and layout. Being that Megan had, had previous experience with Prezi, the rest of the team were happy with this choice. In our team collaboration through Blackboard, we were able to see...

...How much do you borrow from the bank, and how much do you borrow from your life insurance? Solution. Step 1: Define the variables. Let B be the amount, in dollars, to be borrowed from the bank and let L be the amount, in dollars, to be borrowed from the life insurance policy. Step 2: Set up the mathematical problem. We have two equations. The first equation states that the total amount to be borrowed is $100, 000. That is, we must have B + L = 100, 000. The second equation states that the interest to be paid is $10, 100. That is, 0.1B + 0.12L = 10, 100. Together they give the following system of two equations in two variables. B + L = 100, 000 0.1B + 0.12L = 10, 100 (1) (2) Step 3: Solve the mathematical problem. We create the augmented matrix and reduce it. We have...

...Realities Two-Way Street Ignorance is bliss. This phrase, however comforting, is a provocative statement to the debilitating state of society and the human state of mind; the dual-edged comment is represented in both Plato’s Allegory of the Cave and the Wachoski brother’s The Matrix through universes, similar to our own, where people are in strong states of illusion and ignorance. Both have a character, which is brought to the “light” to realize this false reality and to liberate everyone else to a better reality, the “real” reality. Situations can arise where having knowledge of it can seem detrimental, however, our very existence as human beings is to live a life of bettering ourselves and the species in general through knowledge both good and bad, and the actions that take place from knowledge. People do actions and make decisions based on history from what he has done wrong or from what he has done correctly and on this basis it is a stepping stone that either good or bad having knowledge of the past, complete knowledge, helps to mold the future positively. Although blissful, avoiding reality will never be a positive action with even in modern days something such as Facebook has become our matrix keeping people away from the outside, not personally and physically interacting with others or now having games that are virtually realities allowing someone to be something else but does not benefit the world in any way. The lack of benefit world is where virtual reality does its...
