In this week�s reading, Chapter 6: Applied Internet Linguistics, the author notes, �The problems that face anyone trying to carry out online searching can be summed up in three words: irrelevance, incoherence, and inaccuracy.� (p. 98). The author continues to note that �Online searching at present is often non-sense, because the failures �the searches which do not give us what we want�frequently exceed the successes.� (p. 106).

Read Chapter 6 carefully and engage in the following experiments:
a.Go to two different search engines (for example, Bing, Google, Yahoo, etc.) and search for a word with multiple meanings, for example, �charge�, as highlighted in the text. In the first part of the paper, describe a minimum of 6 of the top website results from each search engine and the extent to which they matched the meaning you had in mind.
b.Next, search for the same word using the author�s approach of using the word in a sentence context. Briefly describe how the findings/website results (top 6) retrieved on the first page changed. ?Now, search for the word using the collocation approach that was discussed in the text. Briefly describe how the findings/website results (top 6) retrieved on the first page changed.

c.Now, go to at least one different site link using each search engine that has advertisements. In the second part of the paper, discuss whether the advertisements align with the website topic. For example, did a sports page have sports related products advertised or not? Note: Depending on your search results, remember to distinguish between site and page. An ad may be appropriate on a site, but not on a page and vice versa.
d.In the fourth, concluding part of the paper, highlight the advantages and disadvantages of using the semantic versus the lexical approach in relation to advertisement placement on websites.

The paper must be three to five double-spaced pages in length, excluding the title page and references, and formatted according to APA style. For information regarding APA samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center, within the Learning Resources tab on the left navigation toolbar. Individual illustrations should be no larger than one page, and the total prose text should be no less than two pages in length, regardless of the number and size of illustrations.

The purpose of the Essay is to enable participants to demonstrate critical understanding concerning the role of culture, investigating processes and approaches to managing change in international and multicultural work environments, in addition to displaying a critical appreciation regarding how to effectively and empathetically conduct change management processes across cultural boundaries.

Completion of the Coursework (Essay) evidences full engagement with the Module’s Learning Outcomes through the delivery of lectures and seminars, as well as required independent self-study. By producing the Essay document, participants also have an opportunity to showcase professionalism as well as good writing-skills – all vital for work-life, and thus assessed as part of this Coursework (Essay).
Nature of the Essay

Participants must produce a critical analysis Essay of total length no more than 2,000 words demonstrating the learning that they have acquired in accordance with the three learning outcomes of the module:

The intended learning outcomes are that on completion of this module the participant should be able to (particularly ILOs 2 and 3):

1. Critically analyse and operationalise key change management theories and concepts into effective change management practices in international and intercultural settings.

2. Critically assess cross-cultural issues in MNEs and appreciate the imperative influence on achieving successful change management processes.

3. Develop and provide recommendations in order to operate effectively as a global manager in various cultural contexts.

In their Essays, participants must answer all questions relating to the case study “Four Seasons goes to Paris. 1 When answering the questions – take the fictitious role as the newly appointed General Manager (GM) of a new Four Seasons Hotel, in a country and cultural context of your choice (for example, Mr/Mrs Eduado, General Manager, new hotel in Barcelona, Spain, (Catalan regional and Spanish cultures). However, your choice of location and cultural context CANNOT be your own city/country/culture and must be one of the following countries: Columbia, Brazil, Namibia, Turkey, Russia, Serbia, or a Scandinavian country. You have been requested to provide a report to Four Seasons’ Executive Vice President Worldwide Development, Mr Scott Woroch – addressing cultural issues relating to change management processes, and to provide suitable recommendations for the surrounding multicultural environment.
The approximate number of words (+/- 10%) and the weighting of each subsection are
recommended below.

Question 1:
Executive Vice President, Mr Scott Woroch, is worried about the prospects of achieving successful change management processes in hotels located in countries with different cultures. He asks for your opinion:

(A) From a leadership and cultural adaptation perspective, do you agree with the appointment of Mr Le Calvez as the new General Manager (in Paris) – why/why not? (150 wordsI8%).

(B) Contemplating on increased international travel and tourism, as well as intensified globalisation (also in the socio-cultural realm) – discuss if the Four Seasons should continue with the approaches known as “tailor made” hotels and “cultural
chameleons”? Would you prefer to change this practice – why/why not? (200 wordsI10%).

(C) Identify relevant levels/spheres of culture that you need to take into account when implementing change interventions in the new hotel where you work as the GM? (100 wordsI7%)

(D) Critically evaluate the limitations of grasping intercultural challenges within the Four Seasons organisation, if relying solely on Hofstede’s (1980) ‘Cultural Dimensions’ approach, and Kogut and Sing’s (1988) ‘Cultural Distance’ construct? (350 wordsI15%)

You can draw upon examples from other Case Studies as well as from the fictitious new hotel.

Question 2:

Taking into account Four Season’s organisational culture and the cultural environment in the city/country where you have been appointed as the new GM, highlight potential intercultural challenges which you (as the GM) might face when adopting the specific Four Season ‘s organisational culture in the new hotel in relation to local staff.

Support your argument by using two human resource practices from the Case Study as examples, and explain by analysing a minimum of three (across both HR practices) factors which may reflect cultural “clash”, and cultural “fit”? (450 words/25%)
Question 3:

Recommend to Mr Scott Woroch what top-management should emphasise (as a means to motivate new local staff-members to participate in change management processes) when explaining the implementation phase of change processes in a culturally effective fashion (400 words/20%).

Identify a particular implementation approach (grounded in theory), and use this as an example when providing your answer to this question.

Question 4:

Mr Scott Woroch has some doubts as to whether you possess the appropriate intercultural skill-set for embarking on the role as GM at the new hotel. He requests that you reflect upon your intercultural capabilities – as he believes increased cultural self-awareness leads to enhanced decision-making. Complete the below form – focusing on yourself as an individual (GM) (attach as an appendix – it does not count towards the word limit) (15%).

Choose one of the following questions:

1. Analyze Zora Neale Hurston’s treatment of race in “The Gilded Six-Bits” and “How It Feels to Be Colored Me.” You will want to argue a central thesis or main point about these works and how they treat the theme of race. What does each work seem to be saying about “blackness” (and, by implication at least, “whiteness”), and how do those messages relate to each other?

2. In Flannery O’Connor’s essay “A Reasonable Use of the Unreasonable,” the author writes:

I often ask myself what makes a story work, and what makes it hold up as a story, and I have decided that it is probably some action, some gesture of a character that is unlike any other in the story, one which indicates where the real heart of the story lies. This would have to be an action or gesture which was both totally right and totally unexpected; it would have to be one that was both in character and beyond character; it would have to suggest both the world and eternity. The action or gesture I’m talking about would have to be on the anagogical level, that is, the level which has to do with the Divine life and our participation in it. It would be a gesture that transcended any neat allegory that might have been intended or any pat moral categories a reader could make. It would be a gesture which somehow made contact with mystery (1673).

Identify the moment in O’Connor’s story “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” at which this gesture occurs; explain how that gesture fits the above description, and why that gesture is so important to her story and its major theme(s). Draw on additional passages from O’Connor’s “A Reasonable Use of the Unreasonable” to help make your point.

3. Analyze the use of setting, symbolism, characterization and narrative point of view in Ernest Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants.” What do you think is the main thematic statement (or question) Hemingway is articulating in this story, and how does his use of these elements of literature work to convey that central message to his reader?

Grading:

Your essay will be evaluated based on your success in meeting the following standards:

1. Focus: The essay focuses directly on the issue defined in the assignment, clearly articulates an interesting thesis, and is sufficiently developed with specific elaboration, including details, examples, and quotes from the texts, and explanation of how these support the thesis.

2. Organization: The essay is generally unified and coherent. Ideas are organized logically in paragraphs, presented in an order that makes sense to a reader, and connected with transitions that clearly move the essay’s ideas forward.

3. Language: The essay shows strong command of the English language, especially in diction and variety of sentence structure.

4. Grammar and Mechanics: The essay demonstrates the writer’s facility with conventions of standard written English (though there may be a few minor flaws).

5. Synthesis and Documentation of Sources: The essay uses an appropriate amount of relevant source material (summary, paraphrase, and/or direct quotes), and smoothly integrates it with the writer’s voice while consistently and correctly using MLA citation format (both in-line citation and Work Cited) to indicate secondary source material clearly.

 An essay that exceeds these standards will earn a grade in the “A” range.

 An essay that meets these standards solidly will earn a grade in the “B” range.

 An essay that meets these standards, but only minimally, will earn a grade in the “C” range.

 An essay that approaches these standards, but does not meet them, will earn a “D” grade.

 An essay that does not approach these standards will earn an “F” grade.

PLEASE NOTE: As stated at the beginning of this document, the minimum length for this paper is 500 words. Essays that do not meet this minimum requirement cannot be seen as representing an “average” response to the assignment or as meeting the “sufficiently developed” aspect of Standard 1 listed above. Such essays are therefore not likely to receive a grade higher than C.

Please note that you may NOT use organisational examples discussed in the lectures and seminars as the main references for your answer. Each answer must be supported by relevant academic theory.

1. As tales of labour abuse in developing countries by multinational companies have made the headlines in developed countries, some of these companies have adopted voluntary corporate social responsibility codes. Does this constitute using CSR as another form of PR? Discuss with supporting evidence based on research, case studies, and academic theories and/or models.

2. Attitudes to ethical standards and to what constitutes corruption vary from culture to culture. Examine how these attitudes affect the business practice for your chosen organisation / industry sector / geographical area. How would you minimise the negative effects of these attitudes? Use academic sources and relevant case studies, theories and/or models to support your discussion.

3. The United Nations’ Global Compact identified four main areas of ethical concern in relation to business: ecological environment, corruption, labour standards (including child labour) and human rights. Discuss two of these in relation to your chosen organisation/industry sector. Conduct research and use academic sources as well as relevant case studies, theories and/or models to support your discussion

4. One socio-economic definition of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is “a business firm’s obligation beyond that required by law and economics, to pursue long-term goals that are good for society” (Robbins et al, 2006:96). Outline Milton Friedman’s classical view of CSR which we have discussed in class. Argue either “for” or “against” his classical view of CSR. Justify your argument with relevant examples, theories and models.

Word Count Limit

Your word count includes in text citations but not the final references or appendices. If you are more than 10% over or under the word count limit you will lose marks as a 10% penalty applies.

The contents of your References and Appendices are not normally given a specific mark (though they may contribute to your overall mark, as detailed in the assessment criteria below). We therefore recommend that you only use Appendices for supporting material and not for the substantial part of your work.
