QUESTION

Culture and Leadership

You have been selected to open two subsidiaries of organization XYZ. The headquarters of the organization is in the KSA. The organization is dedicated to the production of mobile devices. One of these new subsidiaries will be located in Mexico and the other one will be located in Denmark. 

As you can see in the image below, which is from Hofstede’s Cultural Dimension Theory, there are differences and similarities among the countries. Leaders should attempt to understand these differences to create effective organizational strategies. Specifically, these cultural dimensions can help leaders determine business approaches, how to address negotiations, and can aid in creating strong management and leadership styles.

  • Humane-Oriented
  • Autonomous
  • Self-Protective
  1. Based on Hofstede’s cultural dimensions, briefly describe the similarities and differences between the dimensions in Denmark, the KSA, and Mexico.
  2. Analyze how the cultural dimensions of the three countries (i.e., Denmark, the KSA, and Mexico) impact leadership styles, leadership behaviors, and the decision-making process of leaders. What factors most greatly impact leadership qualities?

Directions:

  • Discuss the concepts, principles, and theories from your textbook. Cite your textbooks and cite any other sources if appropriate.

QUESTION – QUESTION

Read Christensen’s article, “Know Your Customer’s Job to be Done”, and watch the video about disruptive innovation explained. Alternatively, you can use any alternate resource (provided it doesn’t violate academic policies) to address the discussion prompt.

Discuss what “job” means in the context of design thinking. Why is it important we “get” this concept? What happens to the new product development process when we misunderstand the job to be done?  What keeps customers from making buying decisions, and what can marketers do to move customers forward?  

Next, analyze a job that needs to be done, at work or in your professional life.  What do marketers need to know about this job, and why?

Students may perform supplemental external research to inform their discussion posts. Do not cut and paste content from the book or other readings, and cite your posts with references that support your comments. See the checklist for specifics.

So this assignment is a discussion post based on the file and the video link attached below. Since its a discussion post, it doesn’t have to be too long. Please follow the Professor’s instructions above. And please kindly let me know if you have any further questions.

QUESTION

Part 1 (Grand Budapest Hotel)

Describe how camera movement is used in a particular scene to increase the feeling of energy or tension within the scene.

In your analysis, be sure to describe the action and camera movements as clearly as possible, including the specific movements used. (ex. pan, tilt, dolly, etc.)

The climax of The Grand Budapest Hotel includes a black and white scene of Zero, Agatha and Gustave travelling on a train.

  1. Why do you think this scene is shown in black & white, rather than color? What meaning does the use of black & white convey?

Are there other moments in the film that led you to your answer?

  1. Part 2 (Good Fellas)
  2. Identify one editing technique used Goodfellas (1990) that breaks from continuity editing?Describe an exact moment in the film, then analyze why it is used. How does breaking the illusion of continuous time and space fit with the story the film is telling at that exact moment?

In scenes when Henry is hopped up on drugs and feeling anxious about the drug deal, the editing rhythm changes. A quicker paced editing rhythm,along with moving camera shots, convey Henry’s speedy, anxious state of mind. Pick one of those scenes and do a shot-by-shot analysis of the dramatic impact of the editing and camera movements.
