...TUI UNIVERSITY Module 2 Case Assignment MGT501: Management and Organizational Behavior Dr. Frank P. Nolan In Module twos case assignment we will be taking a look at the mega-giant internet company Google. More specifically, I will focus on Google’s corporate values and goals concerning their employees and customers. We will then see how these values and goals translate into a combined business model which creates job satisfaction and motivates the people who work there. I will provide Google’s business philosophy which consists of ten ideals that the company operates on. Also, I will use some additional sources and personal experiences I have found online. Next, I will explain whether or not Google’s business model is one that everyone should adopt. It is working so great for them, would it work great for everyone? Lastly, I will conclude by briefly reviewing what was discussed in this assignment. Before we can understand Google’s values and goals as a business we need to know what they are. Google.com provides a list of 10 philosophies the company tries to always live by: 1. Focus on the user and all else will follow: specifically ensuring that they are ultimately there to serve “you”, the user, and not their internal goals and bottom lines. 2. It’s best to do one thing really, really well: while the company is involved in a multitude of other projects, their true bread and butter is Google search. They have one of the world’s largest research groups dedicated...

...Trident University Christopher R. Collier Module Two: SLP, Managing Individual Behavior MGT501 Management and Organizational Behavior Dr. Marva Dixon 30 January 201 Method and Results of Testing The results of my Humanmetrics Jung Typology Test™ were that I was an ISTJ which stands for Introverted, Sensing, Thinking and Judging. My specific scores in each of the categories were: Introvert (22%), Sensing (25%), Thinking (12%), and Judging (67%). (Leverage Your Personality Type, n.d.) The test revealed that I have a “slight preference of Introversion over Extraversion, a moderate preference of Sensing over Intuition, a slight preference of Thinking over Feeling, and a distinctive preference of Judging over Perceiving.” (Leverage Your Personality Type, n.d.) Based on my results, proposed career paths would be: “management, administrative management, accounting, and computer programming.” (Of Interest, n.d) Results of Testing Identification of Strengths and Weaknesses One of my main strengths is that due to my preference in two categories being only slight margins, depending on a given situation my responses may be from the opposite category. This means I, at times, can also be extraverted and feeling. In management this would come in quite handy as it would mean that I would feel comfortable in different roles and situations. Another strength that I possess is that due to my introverted preference, “feeling is inferred, or expressed nonverbally, through eye contact...

...Trident University Module 1 Case Assignment MGT501 Management and Organizational Behavior In this case study I will analyze Ms. Myers journey to a different culture than she was used to how it went wrong and what she might have done better to try and better prepare herself for the journey that she thought she could handle. I’ll analyze the problem using Hofstede’s five dimensions of culture to compare Korean and American assumptions. I will also make recommendations to her management style that might have helped accommodate the Korean environment. Linda Myers journey started out with good intentions and she felt she had a good idea of what she was getting herself into since she had been consulting for Asian firms and thought that she understood the culture well enough to fit in. Her problem was also compounded by the fact that she would be a woman trying to trail blaze into a field and culture dominated by men. It definitely did not help that she didn’t speak the language and from the reading doesn’t appear to have tried to really learn it instead relying on her associates to speak to her in English or having to use an interpreter. She came into the job with big ambitions and plans to change her Korean associate’s way of doing business not understanding that they didn’t want to change. Now let’s look at Hofstede’s five dimensions of culture to compare Korean and American assumptions. First, Power Distance (P/D) According to Mind Tools: This refers to the degree of...
