There are different academic fields of study that impacts management of enterprise,

management, recruitment procedure. The study of philosophy affects the management in workers
rehabilitation, improvement in culture, good governance and so on. The study of sociology aids
to assess managerial procedure in varied types of societies. History of the management theories
reflects that the subordinates in Egypt generally organized their subordinates for establishing

pyramids. They even had their long term planners as that of contemporaries in China. In fact,
Sun Tzu art of war reflects that Sun Tzu had given huge much emphasis on significance of
planning for attaining the specific goal. Even the teachings of Chanakya were also applicable in
the present day enterprises. Chanakya’s style of management was to hire workers through the
process of interview. Besides this, the observations of Adam Smith on the labor division has
huge significance in present firms as it helps to increase productivity and efficiency. The current
organizations now apply several kinds of management theories for administering business
operations. These theories involves- general administrative theory, scientific management,
enterprise behavior, quantitative behavior. General administrative theory was mainly developed
by Fayol, which was further provided bureaucratic approach by Weber. Fyol’s management
theory was considered applicable for administering personnel in an organization (Hill, Jones and
Schilling 2014). His management theory was dependent on few principles, which includes- work
division, unity of command, authority, workers remuneration, centralization, personenel tenure
stability, scalar chain order, spirit de corps etc. Weber administrative theory was basically
dependent on the bureaucratic approach. Weber’s approach was mainly based on certain
principles that include- recruitment of personnel, chain of command, promotion of employees
etc. Quantitative management approach basically integrates numerous analytical as well as
numeric methods into management procedure (Anderson et al. 2018). This approach involves
one specific area that is management science. Enterprise behavior approach includes early
advocates, human relations movement, Hawthrone studies and theory of behavioral science. This
study was basically conducted with workers at the Hawthrone plant, which comprised of
illuminationla experiments, test room for relay assembly, observation room for bank wiring and
so on. Behavioral science theorist mainly includes theory of psychologist as well as sociologist.

Sociologist theory includes organizational design, power and conflicts whereas psychologist
theory involves job design, workers motivation and leadership style. Furthermore, the three
management approaches used by the organization are- contingency, systems and process
approach (Mikes and Kaplan 2013). The current trends that have been prevalent in the present
enterprise’s management practices includes- innovation, diversity of laborforce, total quality
management etc. These trends in management practices facilitate the organization to achieve
success in the competitive marketplace.

Activity 2- Activity Title- The nature of globalization: national culture
In today’s world, globalization affects the business operations of every enterprise
operating in the global market. There are several factors that affects globalization, which
involves- cultural, legal political and economic (Jones 2013). The legal political factors makes
globalization channelized according to the political bosses. Even the economies and culture of
specific nation also influences globalization. It has been evident from some examples that
regional trade agreements also impacts globalization. Rinto Tinto the transnational mining group

faced many challenges in their business operations owing to globalization. Ganong Brothers the
candy producer in Canada making free trade agreements with the US for selling their candy’s
faced several challenges due to globalization since tariff was not imposed on their products
(Pieterse 2015). Moreover, it has been evident from recent study that cultural differences also
exist due to globalization. However, these differences create challenges to the enterprise in terms
of marketing management as well as foreign negotiations (Drucker 2012). For instance, US
culture differs from other nation’s culture regarding hard work being the factor to success. This
difference affects the motivation of the employees within the organization. In addition, the
difference between US culture and other nation’s culture on honoring commitment of workers
also influences negotiation with the enterprises. Besides this, the cultural difference between US
and other countries relating to effective time management influences both long term as well as
short time planning of organizations (Moran, Abramson, and Moran 2014). As enterprise is the
primary obligation of US while family is the primary obligation of alternate value of culture, this
difference affects the loyalty commitment within the enterprises operating in the global market.
The factors that lead to the globalization trend involves-expansion of business, improvement in
business methods, huge pressure from the industrialized nation, effective communication within
the business and so on. Moreover, different experts have also given varied views on
globalization. The view of Pankaj Ghemawat on globalization is that both economic and national
incorporation leads to semi- globalization. On the other hand, James Shikwati has opined that
globalization is not aid but is a trade. Anthony’s views highlight that globalization impacts not
only the performance of capital market but also the personal lives and application scale. It has
been opined by Isiaka, Sulaiman and Issa (2016) that, there are various models of national
culture that reflects the cultural differences. Hofstede’s national culture model involves few

7MANAGEMENT AND ENTERPRISE IN GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT
dimensions that includes- time orientation, power distance, uncertainty avoidance etc. These
dimensions help to provide an overview on the cultural differences between the enterprises of the
two countries (Hofstede 2006). Similarly, Trompenaar’s model on the national culture is mainly
based on some variables that include- universalism vs particularism, individualism vs
communitarians, neutral vsa emotional and so on. These dimensions also facilitate to compare
the culture of organizations between two countries (Trompenaars, F. and Hampden-Turner
2011).
Conclusion
The conclusion that can be drawn from the first activity is that the current trends in
management practice of the organization have developed from the historical management
practices. In fact, the various approaches integrated by the management of the companies in
today’s world help to enhance productivity and achieve target within specified time. From the
second activity, it can be concluded that national culture differences also influence the
management operations of the organizations. Although globalization has helped the
organizations to strengthen their business operations, they faced several challenges and risks in
the global market owing to this. Furthermore, Hofstede and Tromprenaars national culture model
also reflects that the difference in nation’s culture poses threat to the organizations operating in
the global market.
