...Haitian Creole Haitian Creole (HC) is a language that is derived from French and West African. It is one of the two national languages of Haiti; however, it was not recognized as such until 1987 (Etienne, 2005). Prior to 1987, the only national language of Haiti was French even though only about 10-15% of the Haitian population speaks French while 90-95% speak HC. This late acceptance date of HC as a national language is possibly due to the attitudes and feelings towards HC. Etienne (2005) studied the attitudes and feelings towards the two languages. Her research supports that Haitians felt it was a privilege to speak French and, if a person can speak French they have a higher status than a person who cannot. HC is taught in the home...

...losing their jobs and became destitute. When the opportunity to come to the New World arose, many of the struggling people saw it as a way to start over and make their fortune in hope to alleviate the suffering in Europe. Beginning as early as thirty thousand years ago, during the Pre-Columbian Era, Americans came from Asia over a land bridge formed at the Bering Strait during the Ice Age. The new immigrants were gatherers and hunters, known as Native Americans, who reached a population perhaps as many as 100 million spread across Central and South America by the time the Europeans “discovered” the New World. Native Americans development of agriculture provoked new innovations and cultures that would influence America forever ("Study Notes - Free AP Notes," n.d.). During the Middle Ages, Europeans were ignorant to the existence of the Americas. Europeans became acclimated to an assortment of Asian goods including drugs, spices, perfume, and silk, however, key pathways to Asia were controlled by Muslim forces who forced European merchants to pay large amounts for their ways. European consumers distressed of the high Muslim prices demanded a less expensive, faster route to Asia....

It refers to the deadlock resulting from high levels of defence. The stalemate developed from four major reasons: i. The Faults of the Schlieffen Plan ii. The Faults of Plan XVII iii. Problems with Communications and Tactics iv. Problems with the High Command • The Faults in • There was an incredible reliance on speed – quick defeat of the France and a slow response by Russia Schlieffen • Unexpectedly strong resistance by Belgian forces – sabotaged Plan railway lines • Strong resistance from French • Troops were diverted from the West to the Eastern front • The “hammer swing” was shortened, so they approached Paris from the East which was expected • The Treaty of London was disregarded as a scrap of paper • Germans weren’t adequately trained for modern warfare strategies • The Faults in • French underestimated number of soldiers available to Plan XVII Germany • French were preoccupied with revenge for Alsace-Lorraine • Insufficient forces were given to the French left...

...activities are called learning styles and learning styles are defined as “individual consistencies in perception, memory, thinking and judgment across any stimulus condition (Curry, 2000,p, 239) There are five different methods of learning/study strategies. The Visual, Aural, Read/Write, Kinesthetic and multimodal study strategies. Neil D. Fleming (2011) The Visual Study Strategy; is a method where the teacher or the presenter uses pictures, gesture, posters, highlighters of different colors, graphs and symbol to pass on information to the learner and the learner receives the information in these forms, words are replaced with symbols. The student or learner then turns these symbols into words, lecture notes or answers in exam or test. Neil D. Fleming (2011) The Aural Study Strategy; is a method where the learner learns by hearing, listening to lectures, discussion groups, one on one with teacher, and talks to other about their new ideas and may take notes which may not be excellent and leave spaces for later jotting. They tape summary notes and listen to them because they prefer to listen and learn than to read. They may go to quiet places to recall ideas and speak loud to hear themselves talk.

...Tutorial activity 1: Ongoing Semester Case Study – Businessville Hotel. The Beijing Businessville Hotel has recruited a large number of Chinese staff for all its departments. Staff come from all over China which means that they come from many different regional backgrounds and speak different languages. While most speak East Mandarin, others speak Jin, West Mandarin, Xinan, Hokkien, Hakka, Cantonese and Jianghuai. Other staff speak Thai, Filipino, Japanese, English and Arabic. Consider the following questions as a focus of class discussion. Prepare your ideas before class. 1. What training would you suggest to develop staff language skills? • Provide staff with language skills seminars 2. How would you suggest dealing with guests who speak unknown languages? • Use technology and gestures and try to understand what they say with use of technology eg, use a language translator to understand. Tutorial activity 3: Facilitation Case Study. Consider the case study ‘Elizabeth visits GPC’s French Subsidiary’ on page 160-161 of your textbook and prepare discussion points for the four questions at the end. 1.

It is important for Elizabeth to not do anything that may disrespect or belittle any of the management staff as her kinesic behavior can put her in this position.

...need to research the French culture a little more. It is important for Elizabeth to not do anything that may disrespect or belittle any of the management staff as her kinesic behavior can put her in this position. As per this case, French managers are suspicious of most technical communication and would rather “face-to-face meetings and on-site consultations”. Chances are they will be paying close attention to Elizabeth’s non-verbal language during her visit with them. For example, something as simple as posture can be misinterpreted. To Europeans, “a relaxed posture in business meetings may be taken as bad manners or the result in poor upbringing” (Deresky, pg 133). Americans such as Elizabeth wouldn’t think twice of a relaxed posture in a business meeting. It would also be wise of Elizabeth to obtain an English/French translator. Even though the universal language in her highly technical field is English, using the right words at the right time in the right manner is essential to making this assignment a success. In Exhibit 4-2 (Deresky, pg128), we see a classic example of how words can be perceived differently even though the same language is being spoken. The American boss is looking for his Greek employee to be accountable for his role within the company and make sound decisions based on American culture whereas the Greek employee is looking for orders to be given from his American boss based on Greek culture. Also note in this case that the French manager is suspicious...

...HR Research Methods – Final Exam, Winter 2015 STUDENT NAME: Peter Stojanov SummerPops SummerPops is a Popsicle manufacturer based in Montreal, Quebec, and has been operating since its founding in 1919. SummerPops moved into a large manufacturing facility in southeast Montreal in 1925, and has stayed in the building (with renovations and upgrades) ever since. The facility contains 4 major sections critical to the success of the business: * traditional loading docks to receive incoming raw materials, notably sugar; * mixing vats, water pipes, and heaters to create the liquid solution for the popsicles; * large freezers, to cool the liquid solution and form the popsicles; and * cold loading docks, to move the frozen popsicles to freezer trucks for transportation to stores. SummerPops is a unique company, in that 5 months of the year (November to March), the entire production facility is shut down. SummerPops quickly discovered trying to maintain operations through the winter months was pointless, as few people bought their products during frigid Quebec winters. As such, these shutdown provisions mean that employees cling even harder to their unions and their seniority, in order to ensure they maintain predictable employment with the company when they start their jobs again each March. March represents the "start up" month, where the entire facility is de-winterized, cleaned, sterilized, and tested to ensure full operational capacity. Starting in April...

...strategy. They want to be known as the best of the best in luxury hotel service. What this translates to is not too dissimilar from Starbucks: a customized customer experience. That's not to say there aren't specific expectations and standards. But its how the customer experience is delivered within those standards that tailors the Four Seasons experience depending on where you are. If a firm expects to establish a sustainable business model in foreign nations, the firm best be a cultural chameleon, where the brand doesn't uniquely identify the company or product as one particular nationality. This particular case study calls attention to the Disney model as the antithesis of Four Seasons. While Disney is successful, it is interesting to note that Euro-Disney was a failure and it wasn't until it changed to Disneyland Paris, with a decided turn towards a more French culture, that it finally turned around. Even the comparison to McDonald's is a little tenuous, as the McDonald's experience and brand is known for the clean restaurants and cheap fast food. But, the menu does chance depending on the region and what the culture demands. Eating in a McDonald's in Thailand was very different than eating in McDonald's in Australia, or even Switzerland. By making sure the Paris hotel was a Paris experience, the Four Seasons paid attention to the details. Simply removing the coffee pot off the table is a huge gesture in my opinion in making sure the hotel lives to the standards of the cultural...
