UniversalismA U.S.-based company has a Universal policy used in all of its branch locations, which means it’s also included in Ecuador. The policy could be specific rules or standards expected in all locations globally. This could even conflict with cultural differences but be set universally. What do you think Universalism means in the workforce?

In an attempt to use all the things x learned in Colombia, x writes a report to his boss back at the US with the goal to be more global, such attempt is called____ ____

CollectivismA U.S.-based company has noticed that the Ecuadorian workforce heavily relies on collectivism, working in teams and creating relationships with one another, while U.S. employees tend to be more individualWhy do you think some cultures prefer working collectively rather than individually?

As one of the first meetings starts, X is excited to discuss his prepared agenda. However, he soon realizes that not all topics are addressed in the same order or with the same importance; he finds this procedure disorganized and informal. How can he adapt to this situation? And what type of culture is this?

Uncertainty avoidanceA U.S.-based company noticed that in Ecuador, employees prefer to have clear guidelines set, meaning they avoid uncertainty. In contrast, in the U.S., employees feel more comfortable taking risks in the workforce. How would you think employees will respond to unclear guidelines in the workforce?

ValuesA U.S.-based company has noticed the difference in values between employees in the U.S. and Ecuador. The U.S. values high rewards in efficiency and achievements. In Ecuador, employees value family time and loyalty to one another. What values would you consider in the workforce?

CultureA U.S.-based company starts a new branch in Ecuador. The company's culture in the U.S. is accustomed to rewarding employees individually, but in Ecuador, the company notices that employees enjoy and prefer having group work (group harmony) in the workforce. Do you think culture affects the way people work in different countries?

GLOBE—Leadership StyleIn Peru, a local business manager has observed that employees respond well to leaders who demonstrate kindness and personal relationships with their team but are also expected to maintain authority and assertiveness. According to the GLOBE study’s findings on leadership styles in Latin American countries, what type of leadership would be most effective in this scenario, and how should the manager balance assertiveness with compassion?

Communitarianism- An Enterprise company believes that the company could make a bigger impact in the community if they implemented new sustainability goals that align with the members of the Bolivian community. To make sure that their new goals align with what the community needs, employees of Bolivia Enterprises have decided to contact local community farmers and elders to see if they could collaborate with them. Question: Do you think collaborations lead to an increase in communitarianism mindset and increase productivity?

Achievement culture- An Enterprise Company has now implemented a merit-reward system where top employees get rewarded monthly with bonuses and public acknowledgement. One of the top senior engineers, Jerry, has been getting these bonuses and acknowledgements from the company for his outstanding and innovative projects. His colleague Sandra, who has also been in the company for the same amount of time and has also maintained an outstanding performance with her team has not been rewarded or publicly acknowledged. Sandra feels overlooked due to the new merit-reward system. Question: How does the emphasis on hierarchical versus merit-based recognition influence employee satisfaction and career progression in Bolivian organizations?

IndividualismA U.S.-based company spotted a difference in how work is done in the U.S. and Ecuador. In the U.S., employees are expected to do tasks individually and be self-motivated. In Ecuador, employees prefer to work together in group harmony as collective work. Why do you think that some employees would rather work individually rather than in groups?

You are a qualified future employee with the skills to succeed in a diverse cultural environment!

CONGRATULATIONS!

Ascription Culture- A foreign company wants to enter the Peruvian market and appoints a young, highly qualified, but relatively inexperienced manager to oversee operations.

On one of the first sucessfull negotiaton of x in Colombia, x is ready to leave the office to take break, but the other party stays talking about his day and asking about x's.
