Introduction
One of the key ideas learned in this week 1 is that organizations must learn the art of
management as they grow in size. It is relatively easy to manage a small size organization.
However, the management complexity increases as the organization size increases. Opara &
Eboh (2017) argued that management should be deep rooted in the organization culture A
thorough assessment of the organization would prove to be beneficial in knowing how to manage
and treat the employees of organization. One of the key learnings from this week is that the
management style of leaders within the organization must depend on the type and internal culture
of the organization. The management style that suits an organization may not be the best for all
the organizations in the same industry. For example, Toyota is known for its focus on quality and
defect control. However, the management style of leaders in Toyota is very different than the
management style of Volkswagen. Therefore, it is recommended that the leaders and managers
should not hurry when they have to define the management layer within the company.
Analysis
The learning from this week one could be applied to large number of organizations. Let’s
apply the learning to the companies in the automobile sector. In the global automobile segment,
Toyota is known for its focus on quality and defect control. The competitors of Toyota like
Hyundai want to benchmark its quality improvement techniques and measures against the quality
delivered by Toyota. However, it does not mean that Hyundai should change its culture to suit
the organizational culture of Toyota. Hyundai has its own strengths and weaknesses and it is
important that the organizational culture and the management style of Hyundai should be based
on that. Lee & Desai (2014) argued that organizations should never leave their core competency

PAPER
to learn from others. For the organizations that value the focus on developing core competency,
learning comes naturally. Therefore, a good idea for Hyundai would be to an internal assessment
and decide upon the areas that needs improvement. The next step would be to develop a
framework where tangible efforts could be made to improve the quality of its products and
services.
One of the key ideas learned in the week two is that globalization has helped a lot to
businesses to expand in new boundaries. There was a time when organizations have limited
target market. With globalization, organizations have started to target the people beyond
domestic boundaries as well. For example, a seller of precious stones in India can now sell its
products in Australia through Amazon. This has been possible only because of globalization.
Langley & Smallman (2013) argued that globalisation is a powerful force and it has changed the
way business are done. It is expected that globalization would further bring more changes in the
way businesses are conducted. One of the key learning from this week resources is that
globalization has been useful for end consumers as this has increased the choices for consumers.
For example, a buyer in Sydney can now buy a product from a domestic seller in Australian
market or from an international seller. It has also opened the avenues for organization to sell
their products and compete with the international brands. Due to this there has been an increase
in the competition and organizations realizes the importance of delivering high quality products
and services to consumers. It is expected that globalization would continue to make business
more competitive.
The learning from this week could be applied to large number of organizations. Let’s
apply the learning to the companies in the e-commerce sector. The learning can be applied to the
business operations of Amazon. The company, Amazon, is a marketplace and there are millions

PAPER
of buyers and sellers listed on Amazon (Vinkenburg & Jansen, 2014). With globalisation, it has
been possible for buyers and sellers to communicate and transact with the sellers and buyers in
different geographies. The best thing for Amazon would be to analyze the internal and the
external environment and variables and then lay down the management layer foundation of the
company.
Conclusion
With the above discussion, It can be said that organizations must analyse the internal and
external environment before making any expansion decision in the global market.
