INTRODUCTIONCulture provides the guidance and direction for how the managers of the company willthink and behave and in the same way the report project 1 will also helps to understand theimportance of culture in a company and it is based upon an article in which the report is going tocritically evaluate the suggestion made in it. Further, the report will also justified all thestatement on which I agreed and disagreed and then made further suggestion regarding theculture. In written report assessment 2, the study presenting the meaning of literature review andits importance, further it also shows how does it achieved and also describe the literature reviewon Corporate Social Responsibilities.ASSESSMENT 1- Individual Essay1. Critically evaluate the suggestion made in an articleAs per the view of Hofstede, (2019), he defines five elements of culture such as values,rituals, symbols, beliefs and though process. Further, he also states that there are four dimensionsof the culture such as, individualism or collectivism, power distance, uncertainty avoidance andmasculinity or femininity. Such as this type of culture is followed in United States and Mexicoand other countries of Asia is also complied to more collectivist principles. Apart from this, theauthor also suggested that uncertainty avoidance also refers to how the members of a societyrespond for ambiguity and even the company within these cultures also have the rules in place tomake sure that the employee do not deviates from their standards (Hofstede, 2015).Moreover, it has been further critically evaluated by an article that if the organization isdealing at global level then they also have to adjust with variety of environment as well. Apartfrom this, many of the company also focus on diversity of an employee who can deal with thedifferent customers belongs to variety of cultures. Further, he also suggests that the culture ofemployee who are working in global business may differ from the national culture of onecountry due to development of own culture and values by the company. On the other side, it isalso evaluated that when there is a continuous change in communication specially in socialmedia and some social values, it also changes the nature of a culture and it directly creates theimpact upon the individual and an organization as well (Hofstede, Hofstede and Minkov, 2015).Thus, the national culture is also quite important in marketing for a firm and helps to understandthe consumer behavior as well.1
2. Justification of the statement made in an articleAs per the article, I am totally agreed with the statement of cultures with a high powerdistance tend to be more hierarchical because as per the example given in an article that UnitedStates business environment also adopted different forms of management such as participativemanagement. In this the supervisors and subordinates are place in equal terms that shows thatinequality in power distance is perceived from the followers because of hierarchical structure themanagers are only delegate the power. Apart from this, I am also agreed with the individualdimension which states that the individualist culture place a high value on the individualachievement and their self- interest while on the other side, the collectivist cultures work to attainthe collective goals and group harmony. This is so because to work in a team will be morebeneficial for the firm rather to do work as an individualism (Hofstede, 2015). Apart from this, I am not agreed with the statement made in an article that change in acommunication will change in nature of culture as well, though it impact upon the employee andan organization but did not change the nature of culture. As the business have their own valuesand cultures and this values also affect the national values. Fast change in social media andsocial sharing also affect the culture but it never changes, that is why I am not agreed with thestatement. Further, I also agreed with a statement of uncertainty avoidance in which the culturethat score high on the certainty avoidance dimension tend to avoid the risk taking and that is whythe organization with this type of culture also do not deviates their employees from the acceptedstandard while on the other side, the cultures with less uncertainty avoidance believes that therisk taking and innovation are two main and important in order to achieve the successfuloutcomes for the business. 3. SuggestionsIn order to improve the culture of the company, it is recommended that every corporationshould implement the innovation day twice a year so that everyone drops their normal work andteam form in order to make that day special in this way, the employees of different culture willinteract with each other and share their own experience with them to make the day successful.Apart from this, it is also suggested that to make the culture fit for an employee the managershould also provide the work in order to make their employee flexible and comfort in the workenvironment as well. Further, to improve the morale, productivity and deeper connection from2
