PART 2
INTRODUCTION
Cross culture management mainly reflects influence of societal culture over management
practices (Adekola and Sergi, 2016). It also shows impact cultural and societal values on
individual within the company. In the first section, nepotism has been taken as the main issue of
the case study provided on construction of dam in Tanzania. The overall project associated to
this was performed in the group in order to complete it effectively within the provided time
frame. The overall experience related to this has been explained with the usage of Gibbs
reflective cycle.
Gibbs reflective Cycle
Gibbs reflective cycle was given by Sir Graham Gibbs in the year 1988. through this
cycle, the respected professor wants to show that individual can learn more effectively by
performing the work this can be also be seen as “Learning by Doing” (Markkanen and et. al.,
2020). It is an effective way through individuals can easily evaluate their own performance and
find out that how effectively they have performed the task or any kind of improvement is
required in the same. With reference to the present case, I had made use of this framework to
effectively evaluate my overall experience related to the same project which had been performed
by me in the group. Gibbs cycle is consist of 5 stages which are explained below along with my
own experience related to same.
Description: This is the first stage which provides clear explanation about what was
happened (Snowdon, 2018). I have worked for the podcast which was related with the provided
case study on Brett Jones in Tanzania. The overall work was performed in the group in which
each and every team member has been assigned with the specific work along with the provided
time frame. While working with the group members, my specific role was perform overall
research associated work that means I have to gather all information and further analyse them in
detailed manner for drawing valid outcome over the same. Along with this, it can be further said
that for executing my overall work effectively I have acquired several strategies for gathering
maximum information on the proposed topic and attain success over the same in effective
manner. Here, my main focus was to acquire information associated with nepotism so that I can
develop understanding over it and find out how it is being practised in Tanzania.
