China

Right now, China is one of the biggest and most important countries in the world, and it is expected to keep growing and becoming more improtant. The Chinnese market is very important and attracs big companies due to its size ( we have to remember that China is the most populated country in the world, around 1.2 billion).

If we want to understand a little bit of its culture, we can look at the hosftede's dimension. We can see tha they have a long time orientation mind, meaning that they are more focuse in the long term and built good relationships, it can be essential when someone is making a bussines with them. China also presents the lowets level of individualisim comparing it with the rest of the asian countries, it is because the importance of the family. The power distanjce is another dimension that is pretty high comparing with other countries, meaning there is not that much equality and there is a big diferentiation betwen the people.

There is one specific conflict i would like to mention and it is the conflict between China and Google. All this conflict began because the Chinese government wants to prohibit the research of some topics, this policy is against the Google's corporate culture and ethic. All this has created important negotiations and recently ther are some rumours about Google leaving China.

the corporation

This movie shows how corporation have evolved through the histoy and how they have become one of the most powerful and biggest organization in the world, in some cases more powerful than some countries.

This filem is focused in some corporation's aspects like: comparing them with humans, show some actions taken ir order to increase their profits without considering the society and how soail responsability have became more important every day.

All those topics are really important and are good topics to talk about, but i would like to focus in the one that socked me the most, it was to see some actions done by the corportaion that were against the society but raise their profits. In this movei there are several cases about that, one of them happened in Bolivia where a foreign company got the control and rights over the water of a town, so each person had to pay if they wanted to use water fom rivers, even, if they wanted to use rain water, this situation was crazy because the people had no money and there is not right to private a source like water, this situatiin didn't last too much without conflicts, and unfortunately there were several victims and dead people.

Canada!!

the document's main idea is to show how immigrants make part of the canadian society and how this process has evolved through the history, knowing that immigrants are a driving force in economic, social al cultural life of Canada.

The canadian's migration process has changed a lot, at the beggining , before the economic boom that this country suffered, Canada wasn't a good destination for people, they preferred to migrate to USA or Briton than Canada. Also,Canada had a stron migration policy because they didnt wanto to allow lot of people to enter, they prefered that British and American were the only one who entered there.

After the big and strong economic expansion, the country started to deman higger rates of growth, there is when migration and immigrants from several countries arrived ( China, Italy, Germany, etc). After WWII, the migration policies became really flexible and gave the opportunity for more people to enter to the country, that's why people from Latin America, Poland and some other countries are showing that high rates of migration to Canada.

Culture and Organizational Culture

I would like to talk and discuss about a really important topic that plays a huge role in business as the culture. Knowing and understanding different cultures give an advantage because you will have more information and tools such as ideas, beliefs, gender, religion, etc in order to avoid problems and try to take the best results for the company.

We have to know that within a region they are different cultures, and all of them affect our business but also that our business has a culture and that is called organizational culture.

For me Culture, is a group of values, ideas, beliefs and ways of behaviour within a group like family, city, country or society, while organizational culture is a set of values and ideologies that a company has into a determined society.

For example something that I red was that tow different companies in a same country can be more alike than the same company in different countries. It is because the culture of that country will play an important role in determining the companies’ culture.
