Read the Point/Counterpoint on page 534 of your text:
Organizations Should Strive to Create a Positive Organizational Culture
Should organizations do all they can to establish a positive culture, because it works, or is building positive culture manipulative?
Your assignment is to write an 8 page paper arguing both points and ending with the role of management in the establishment of the organizational culture, incorporating the four functions of management (as described in chapter 1 of your textbook) into this portion of the discussion.
• The first section should argue that an organization should do all they can to establish a positive culture.
• The next section should argue that building a positive culture is manipulative.
• This section should discuss the role of management in creating an organization’s culture. Incorporate the four functions of management into this section of your paper. Additionally, although global managers perform the same basic functions as domestic managers (planning, organizing, leading, controlling), in what ways might they need to adjust for more variables and environments when operating in a foreign market (e.g., planning to export; planning stages of different cultures; controlling language barriers or differing legal requirements)
