He also mentioned about “He was working as hard to impress me as I was to impress him” shows he accepts the different cultures George Ajjan – He is more of an ethnocentric manager. He chose to use his more direct tone when writing the letter even though he was in another country’s culture. However, the fact he chose to get a local to proofread his letter shows his attempt to adapt to local culture, even though it is unclear in the passage on whether he took up the local’s advice to change his tone. Ron Gonen – He is more of a polycentric manager. As he was in Britain, he felt that he should follow the British English, hence he feels that the local way is better when he is in their country.

...Introduction to Foreign Exchange: Foreign Exchange means Foreign Currency. If we consider Foreign Exchange as a subject then it means all kinds of transactions related to foreign Currency, as well as currency instruments such as draft, MT, TT, TC, and Payment Order & Foreign Trade. In other words Foreign Exchange deals with Foreign Financial Transactions. Foreign Exchange refers to the process or mechanism by which the currency of one country is converted into the currency of another currency and, thereby, involves the international transfer of money. It is the means of method by which rights to wealth in a country’s currency are converted into rights to wealth in another currency. In banks where we talk Foreign Exchange, we refer to the general mechanism by which a bank converts currency of one country into that of another’s. Dr. Paul Einzig defines Foreign Exchange as the system or process of converting one national currency into another and of transferring the ownership of money from one country to another. In terms of Foreign Exchange Regulations Act, 1947 as adapted in Bangladesh, Foreign Exchange means Foreign Currency and include all deposits credits and balances payable in Foreign currency as well as all Foreign currency instruments, such as, Drafts, Travelers Cheques, Bill of Exchange, Hundi, and Promissory Notes payable in any foreign country.

In other to stay abreast; most organisations would normally use different approaches and strategies to have a competitive advantage. Those who are not able to cope with the pressure may run out of business, and those who have been able to soar higher have had to adopt a policy that proves productive to them. The decision makers in most organisations are always found brainstorming at each juncture with the aim of always “effecting change” even when this is capital intensive. Any organisation that is not able to respond to changes in the business climate may pay dearly for it. That is why organisational development interventions act as the crux of most meaningful changes.

...B.R Richardson Timber Products Corporation Case Study By Julie Woody 10/25/2014 Organizational Development HRM 460-1 In the B.R Richardson Timber Products Corporation case study, Richard Bowman, who was in charge of industrial relations at the company, contacted Jack Lawler, an Organizational Development Practitioner, as he was looking for someone to conduct a “motivation course” for the blue-collar employees of his lamination plant. He told Mr. Lawler that the morale among the employees were extremely low due to the fact that a fatal accident had occurred several months before, and because the plant manager was extremely authoritative. After being contacted, Mr. Lawler arranged a meeting between himself, the President of the company, and Mr. Richardson. After the meeting, Mr. Lawler then visited the plant for one day along with two of his graduate students to assess and analyze the situation to prepare his presentation and suggestions to the company. In his evaluation of the company, Mr. Lawler determined that there were several problems that were evident amongst the workers. The laminating plant was growing rapidly, and was an extremely profitable portion of the company. One of the problems that became evident was that despite its profitability, the company was reluctant to expand and do improvements to the laminating plant to upgrade its machinery, and to hire the additional staff needed to keep up with its growth. There was also a very evident communication problem...

...TUI University Lionel Martinez ENG 101 – English Composition 1 Dr. David Ojo Module 1 Case Assignment 1 June, 8 2012 While King's letter was set and written in the 1960's, it is still prevalent today. Martin Luther King was not only a civil rights activist for Blacks, but his logic and rhetoric is to be admired. I feel it is our duty not only to read King's letter, but to use it as an educational tool. The letter, by King, is well written and a great example of how to write a letter formed essay. Ignoring the fact this letter was being written during the civil rights fights and protests in the 1960's, it was written by a well-educated and well known man who is respected and admired. King begins his letter in a polite address to accusations delivered to him, "But since I feel that you are men of genuine good will..." He takes politeness to a degree that it becomes an art form. Not once does he use an offense word or phrase that would offend the audience of his letter. King's logic is also to be commended. The Letter began with King's reasons of being in Birmingham and he explains it in a way that you feel like you should agree with him. The different types of rhetoric that King uses are perfect for the intended purpose. His play on pathos, or our emotions, is so that you really have to pay attention to discover it. The best example of his play on pathos is when he describes an even with his son, "Daddy, why do white people treat colored people so mean...

...In the 18th to 19th century, slave institutions were dominant in America. The most afflicted people were the Africans and the African Americans. However, not everyone supported the idea of slavery in such a first-class nation. Some were against it, and they struggled to ensure that the inhuman act was stopped. Thomas Jefferson was against the institution of slavery in America. His personal views can be well traced from notes and letters he sent to various leaders. For one, Jefferson was against slavery because he believed that all men were created equal. No man is superior than the other, and hence slavery was an inhuman act that set the victims to pain and torture. He thought that white man was just as equal to black man and there should be no difference in the manner that the two are treated. In his reply letter to Mr. Benjamin Banneker on August 30, 1791, he expressed how a black man has equal talent as a white man (Letter to Benjamin Banneker). None of these individuals should live in degraded conditions. Color does not justify slavery of the Africans and African Americans. To Jefferson, the institutions of slavery were a source of division. The white men intended to retain and enslave black men in American so that they would save the...
