20th January 2009,
During my first class I pictured a general view of what should be expected from this particular course. The points we have discussed in the class room pros and cons of globalization, different groups came up with different answers. And what I have noticed from the answers is that the groups that had majority Asians most of their answers were about the economic benefits, development, quality of life……..while listening to the Europeans and Americans their answers were more about sharing knowledge, product distribution, brands etc….so my learning from this group exercise is that we all come from different backgrounds and we think differently. So we will be more productive if we have cultural mix because then it creates an awareness from different prospective and views. And it will also educate everyone in that group about other cultural awareness and thinking. So what I learned is that by understanding the various cultures as a future manager it will assets me in understanding others, how cultures impact work place and finally self understanding and managing across cultures.
