...Globe Theatre In Elizabethan England, plays were extremely important to culture. Many theaters were built to present plays. No theater around was more important than the Globe Theatre. The Globe Theatre was an important part of society. The history of the Globe Theatre is very rich. It was originally built in 1598 by Cuthbert Burbage, who was very involved in the acting scene in his time. In 1613 it was accidentally burned down by a canon in a show there. The next year it was reconstructed only to be destroyed by puritans, who believed plays were evil, 30 years later in 1647. In 1997 a working replica was opened. The Globe Theatre’s structure was unlike any other of its day. Its wood was taken from another theater because Cuthbert Burbage owned that but not the land. “He therefore had the theatre, a timber building, taken down and reassembled at a new site (Boyce 218). It was roughly cylindrical and three stories high. Each floor had seats that looked into open galleries. It held 2,000-3,000 people at a time. Shakespeare was a paramount figure not only in playwriting, but in the Globe Theatre as well. It was built specifically for the great acting troupe, Chamberlain’s Men, which Shakespeare was a part of. Some of Shakespeare’s most magnificent works of art were performed originally at the Globe Theatre. Shakespeare himself was also a part owner of the Globe Theatre. The Globe Theatre was a place where many different types of social classes went...

...Shakespeare has written some of the most memorable plays in history. It was probably the most important structure in Shakespeare’s career. Throughout its history the Globe Theatre has hosted the very best of Shakespeare’s productions or works of art such as Hamlet, and the Twelfth Night were written to be performed on the stage of the Globe Theatre. The Globe Theatre was a theatre located in London, England. The Globe Theatre is commonly associated with William Shakespeare. The theatre was built in 1599 by the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, which happened to be William Shakespeare’s playing company (Linda Alchin). The land that the theatre was built on was owned by Thomas Brend and was later inherited by his son Nicholas Brend and then later on his grandson Sir Matthew Brend. On the 29th of June 1613 the theatre was destroyed by a fire during a performance of Henry the Eighth (Linda Alchin). The Globe Theatre was rebuilt in June of 1614 and was closed in 1642. There is a modern reconstruction of the Globe Theatre in London called Shakespeare’s Globe and it opened in 1997 (J.M Presley). The Lord Chamberlain’s Men were actors who were shareholders in the Globe Theatre. The Globe Theatre was divided into shares of ten percent each with two brothers, Richard and Cuthbert Burbage having a double share or twenty-five percent each (Linda Alchin). Originally there was supposed to be a seventh shareholder, William Kempe but he sold his share to the four minority shareholders...

...many majestic theatres and playhouses; however, none come close to the unique and historical Globe Theatre. The Globe Theatre contains many years of rich history; from the time of William Shakespeare, to the present day. Over 400 years ago, the original theatre was built! Its unique, round structure resembles the Roman Coliseum; allowing spectators to half circle the stage and still obtain a clear view. Although the original building was destroyed in a fire, a newer version of the Globe Theatre still serves the same purpose. People touring the area of London, England may regularly catch a Shakespeare play, taking place in the historic playhouse.

...the reading that Knowlton caught himself feeling apprehensive about the reaction that Fester might have to some of his work and that even Knowlton himself was a little surprised at his feelings because he had always been proud. Both men want to move forward with the project, and I feel like they were considerate to each other’s thoughts during the meetings. Fester is highly extraverted whereas Knowlton is more in the middle as the case goes on. In similarity, Knowlton and Fester are both open and conscientiousness. The GLOBE model could be used to describe the clash between Knowlton and Fester. This model addresses leadership qualities and recommends how leaders should conduct business in cultural clusters that are different from what they are accustomed to. GLOBE practices would help Knowlton feel more comfortable around Fester as he sometimes feels belittled by Festers ability to take over explaining the graphs and new methods to the project. The impact of GLOBE would enable Knowlton and Fester to have a better understanding of one another as the cultural dimensions included in the...

...SHAKESPEARE: ESTUDIO MONOGRÁFICO 1. CONCEPTO DE SHAKESPEARE Muere en 1616. Siete años después sus compañeros publican el First Folio, sus obras completas. Tenía un valor colectivo, publicado en 1623. Para mantener viva su memoria: “our Shakespeare”, “our” se ponía con autores clásicos conocidos, término honorífico. Influencia de Séneca en tragedia y de Plauto y Terencio en comedia en el teatro renacentista inglés. Nació en 1564 en Stratford-Upon-Avon. Afán de la movilidad social, de una escala a otra. Quería hacerse un escudo familiar, símbolo de la nobleza, para subir en la escala social. Padre y madre de diferentes escalas sociales, ella pertenecía a la familia Arden. El padre era guantero y comerciante de lana ilegalmente, también compró varias propiedades y era prestamista. Gran poder financiero. John S. incluso llegó a ser alcalde. A partir de 1572-73 el padre pierde esa posición privilegiada y tiene problemas económicos. La Inglaterra isabelina era protestante, la familia S. podría ser católica. Religión impuesta con violencia y obligación. No hay prueba documental de la educación de W. S., aunque se supone que fue a la escuela de allí. Expuesto a la gramática latina y los clásicos: Ovidio, Virgilio, Plauto, Terencio, Cicerón. Expuesto a las miestery plays y morality plays. Las miesteries eran breves y católicas, personajes bíblicos. Las moralities eran representaciones alegóricas breves que muestran las terribles consecuencias del pecado. Los nombres de...

...Abstract Since its inception in the early 1990s, the Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness (GLOBE) project has investigated the complex relationship between societal culture and organizational behavior. The focus of this paper is on leadership, specifically what we know and have learned from the GLOBE project so far. Among other findings, we demonstrate that national culture indirectly influences leadership behaviors through the leadership expectations of societies. In other words, executives tend to lead in a manner more or less consistent with the leadership prototypes endorsed within their particular culture. In turn, leaders who behave according to expectations are most effective. We also found that some leadership behaviors are universally effective such as charismatic/value-based leadership; others are much more culturally sensitive such as participative leadership. Finally, we identified truly superior (and also truly inferior) CEOs by the degree to which their behaviors exceed (or fail to meet) their society's expectations. All in all, understanding national culture gives us a heads-up as to which kinds of leadership will likely be enacted and effective in each society. We believe that the GLOBE journey has helped us understand the complex, tricky, and fascinating relationships among societal culture, organizational behavior, and leadership processes. This paper is a celebration of twenty years of collaborative work conducted by more than 200 researchers...

...CASE QUESTIONS ANSWERING 1-Do you think only certain individuals are attracted to these types of jobs, or is it the characteristics of the job themselves that are satisfying ? Their different jobs include long hours of working (more than the norm), and travel often difficult to have unable a family life. This is the case of Tony Kurtz . Most of the people hope to have a job that allows them to do some activities after work, to have a life outside the company. It is difficult to accept the conditions of work of the four managers. But few people accept to work like four managers. They accept because they like them work or working is a need for them. So these are the only individuals who would be attracted to those jobs with such terms. Despite the extreme nature of the jobs that can’t satisfy lot of workers, despite the high compensation and pay, these four managers’ jobs would be appreciated by people who think that jobs and their constraints are challenges. They accept challenges. Irene, John, Tony, and David show that they are motivate despite the conditions imposed by their work .they are satisfy by them work too. This satisfaction justifies their implication in the organization and also that they accept the conditions as a positive challenge. It is motivation and satisfaction that permits to work despite work pressure. 2 –what characteristics of these jobs might contribute to increase level of job satisfaction? Irene, John, Tony, and David have stable jobs because...

...Early plays were performed in wagons, but they soon moved to unroofed courtyards. In 1576 the first playhouse was built by actor Jim Burbage, and it thrived until 1644 when it was closed down by the puritans. When it reopened the layout was remodeled to a rectangular shape instead of the round shape, which resulted in less audience involvement. The Globe Theater was bought by Shakespeare and a friend, but because plays were forbidden in London it was moved across the Thames River in 1599. Costumes, acting and special effects made the Globe Theater the most popular English playhouse. Animal bladders filled with chickens blood, evil beings rising from the stage below, heavenly beings entering from the sky above, lanterns and rolling cannons were...

...Globalization is the process of international integration arising from the interchange of world views, products, ideas, and other aspects of culture.[1][2] Put in simple terms, globalization refers to processes that promote world-wide exchanges of national and cultural resources. In particular, advances in transportation and telecommunications infrastructure, including the rise of the Internet, are major factors in globalization and precipitate further interdependence of economic and cultural activities.[3. Though several scholars situate the origins of globalization in modernity, others map its history long before the European age of discovery and voyages to the New World. Some even trace the origins to the third millennium B.C.E.[4][5] Globalizing processes affect and are affected by business and work organization, economics, socio-cultural resources, and the natural environment. The term globalization is derived from the word globalize, which refers to the emergence of an international network of social and economic systems.[7] One of the earliest known usages of the term as the noun was in 1930 in a publication entitled Towards New Education where it denoted a holistic view of human experience in education.[8] A related term, corporate giants, was coined by Charles Taze Russell in 1897[9] to refer to the largely national trusts and other large enterprises of the time. By the 1960s, both terms began to be used as synonyms by economists and other social scientists. It then reached...

In addition, competition in the insulin market historically was based on 2 factors, purity and "time profile". (Christensen, 2004) They may have overshot the market but I think it was the right decision. Although patients weren't looking for a new pure insulin and it took years for Humulin to gain traction it eventually accounted for 80% of ELC's insulin volume. Considering ELC had 85% of the North American insulin market this is a significant source of revenue for the company. (Christensen, 2004) Had ELC been complacent with animal insulin they would have left the door open for a competitor (Novo) or an upstart to create this new insulin first and eventually take market share from ELC. They may have cannibalized their own market in animal insulin in the process but they continued to maintain market share. Novo- Nordisk eventually introduced its own human insulin and along with Hoeschst they controlled the market. Since the cost of entry is so high due to clinical trials...

...One of the biggest studies of effective leaderships in different cultures is the GLOBE study. The Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness Research Program is a network of 170 social scientists and scholars from 62 cultures throughout the world, working in a long-term effort to examine the relationships between culture, practices, and leadership. The goal of this study is to develop a theory to describe, understand, and predict the impact of cultural variables on leadership and organizational processes and the effectiveness of it all. A particular strength of the GLOBE study is the combination of qualitative and quantitative data. The book contains five sections: the introduction, literature review, research methodology, empirical findings, and the conclusion. In the introduction, GLOBE states that the cultures of the world are becoming more and more interconnected while the business world is becoming increasingly global. Thus, there is a greater need for effective international and cross-cultural communication, collaboration, and cooperation. GLOBE has developed an integrated and cross level theory of the relationship between cultural values, practices, leadership, and organizational and societal effectiveness. The literature review section provides evidence that culture influences many aspects of leadership, industry, and organization. It explains the understanding of interaction between cultural influences on organizational leadership and the impact of...
