INTRODUCTION
The current study is based upon the reflection in which the researcher will describe the
overall experience which a person feel while conducting the case study. Therefore, the reflection
is based upon two task such that in first task, researcher will describe podcast topic, issues which
they face and theories that applied during a case study and then in next task, researcher will
describe present the reflection on the basis of reflective theories and models.
TASK 1
The topic chosen for the podcast is Challenges in Multinational Companies where I
choose Hydro Generation company based on US which also face issue for its project in
Tanzania. I choose this topic because it is helpful for other companies who deal at global level
because the podcast also provide various suggestion to the company so that they overcome the
issue and this will assist a business to enhance their brand image by applying this solutions.
Poor operations of multinational company is the biggest issue which is also related to my
topic because when I do not have effective planning then it will not assist me to meet my define
aim and objectives (Hallikainen and Laukkanen, 2018). Management related challenges are also
related to me because if I do not manage the work as per the define time, then it got affect the
entire project in negative manner.
For the case study, I use National Culture theory which helps me to solve the problem of
poor operations. Thus, to determine the national culture, I use Hofstede model which is based
upon the six dimensions i.e. Power Distance index, Individualism vs Collectivism, Masculinity
vs Femininity, Uncertainty Avoidance Index, Long-term vs Short term normative orientation,
and Indulgence vs Restraint (Ok, 2017). As the company is in US and its wants to introduce its
project in Tanzania, therefore these two countries have their own culture that is why, it is
essential for the company to determine the national culture of Tanzania so that it will not cause
any negative impact upon the project. That is why, to analyze the operations, it is quite necessary
for the company to examine the national culture, their beliefs and social factor so that it will not
cause wrong impact upon HG company’s financial performance.
