No 1 (61) COMMERCE OF ENGINEERING DECISIONS Organizational Culture Types as Predictors of Corporate Social Responsibility* Ülle Übius, Ruth Alas Estonian Business School, Estonia, Tallinn 10114, Lauteri 3 The purpose of this paper is to investigate connections between corporate social responsibility and organizational culture types.

...Impact of Culture in International Human Resource Management Martin Human Resource Management relates to the processes involved in managing people in international enterprises (Helfrich, et al., 2008). Although the literature has identified several criteria to classify the degree or intensity of an enterprise´s multi- or transnationality for this short abstract a multinational enterprise can be defined as “an enterprise which conducts it activities, control production or service facilities and activities that add value in more than one country” (Zurawicki, 1979). Among the first enterprises driving global business were those who signed on crews and chartered ships, handled, loaded and imported tea from India for the British market. Today according to (Keohane & Nye Jr., 2000) globalisation is “the state of the world involving networks or interdependences at multinational distances…through flows and influences of capital, goods, information and ideas, people and forces”. Diversity has become a fact of life for most companies. They are now composed with a virtual mosaic of employees who differ in culture, national patterns of childhood, formative experiences and education, language, geography gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, class, religion, disability and other group memberships. The challenges which international human resources face are versatile but the greatest impact is culture. Focusing on the culture (Hofstede, 1991) defines culture as the “collective...

...Individual Case Analysis Enterprise Rent – A – Car Executive Summary Enterprise Rent – A – Car is one of the largest players on the market today. This company has selected a specific target market, in which they have been outperforming all their competitors for many years. Unfortunately, other companies have noticed their success and decided to break into their market to achieve a part of the market share, hence their revenues. In addition, the company holds much weaker marketing strategy which started to set the company behind among their competitors. Their customers sometimes were not aware of their branch locations, and one out of five randomly selected people on the street were not even familiar with the company. On the other hand, the success has been shown throughout their strong culture which holds a mentality of customer, employee than profits – in that particular order. This culture states that customer is the most important in the business, and doing everything for clients is the key of this business model. Second in place would be the employee, hence they are the ones who are helping those customers. Appreciation was shown in large bonuses and higher commission percentages than other companies would offer. Last part of the chain, was the profit. It was believed by the original owner Jack Taylor, that if company will look at out for the first two (customer and employee), revenue will follow which tended to work hence company could outperform many competitors...

...Enterprise Rent-A-Car Selling the Dream FEBRUARY 2008 Problem Statement After competing successfully in the market for more than 35 years, Enterprise wishes to achieve similar rates of growth as it always has. The sheer growth rates have turned it into a mammoth of car rental services. Its “small-business” corporate culture has been a determinant to the company’s growth; a culture that is now being challenged by its very size of operations. How will the company continue to apply its successful business strategy in a dynamic and increasingly competitive market? In order to resolve this issue two key problems must be addressed: 1 – How can Enterprise remain competitive while many competitors are beginning to cash-in on the “home-city” market opportunity. 2 – The company’s success is also largely dependent on the skillful employees it has always attracted. However, new graduates are finding the idea of working in the car rental industry less and less appealing. Situation Analysis After 5, 10, or maybe even 20 years of outperforming the market, one would expect Enterprise to ease from its growth stage into maturity. After 35 years, the company continues to grow, and it has great expectations for its future. Armed with a great track record, and powerful ambitions, the company faces a battle against competitors who are rapidly penetrating the “home-city” market. Also, the company faces its own internal battles, as attracting new quality employees is becoming more and more of...
