Should organizations do all they can to establish a positive culture, because it works, or is building positive culture manipulative?

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)

I do not want a title page. Please just include your name, email address, and date in the top left-hand corner of the first page only. Papers should be double-spaced, 12 point font, Times New Roman with 1” margins on all four sides.

Supporting documentation is required: A minimum of 6 peer-reviewed references must be cited within the paper – two peer-reviewed references for each of the three sections listed above. The peer-reviewed references should be cited within the paper using APA format for the citations within the paper and on the reference page. You may provide as many additional references as you like, as long as you meet the minimum number listed above. Again, the paper should be 8 pages in length. The reference page will count as page number 9.

Ted DeWiz has a classic muscle car that he fixed up and has enjoyed drag racing.  He has kept it well maintained.  Much as he loves the car, Ted finds himself in need of cash. He parks the car on his front yard, with a large sign on the windshield that says, “Cherry of a classic car, For Sale $4,500 or Best Offer. AS-IS.”

Marlee Cheree drives by and sees the car. She is immediately enamored and stops to look at it. Marlee is sure the car is underpriced.  When she knocks on Ted’s front door, there is no response; she looks around, and decides nobody is home, so she takes her business card and on the back writes, ” I will pay you $5,000 cash for your classic car. I will return later when you are home.”  She signs her name, and dates it, including the time, and slips the card into the screen on the front door.

After Marlee leaves, about a half hour later,  Ted returns. He does not see Marlee’s card because he never uses his front door, only the side or back doors. A few minutes after he is home, his buddy, Dave Dancer, pulls in to look at the car. Dave has always liked the car. Dave offers Ted the $4,500 asking price, which Ted accepts. The two men shake hands on the deal. Ted goes in the house to get the car title while Dave writes out a check to Ted for $4,500.

As Ted comes out of the house with the title in his hand, and just before Dave hands him the check, Marlee pulls in. She has an envelope of $5000 cash for the car. Ted says to Marlee,“sorry, but I have just sold the car to Dave here.”  Marlee objects and says she already offered the $5000 earlier.

When Ted says, “No, you didn’t,” she marches him to the front door and shows him her card.

“There was my offer, I already left you before.  You weren’t home and now I have the money right here,” she said.

Ted turns to Dave, and says, “Sorry, there was already another offer; I just didn’t know about it, so I ‘m going to sell the car to Marlee for the $5000.”

Dave objects, stating, “You just said you already sold it to ME. We shook hands on it. You cannot back out now just because some card was floating around no one knew about. She wasn’t even here!”

While the three of them stand in the yard arguing, Joe Don Townerbucks drives in the yard. He gets out of his Mercedes, looks at the muscle car, and moseys over to the three arguing people.  He asks, “who owns that hot rod for sale?”

“I do,” says Ted.

“No, I do,” says Dave.

“It’s mine,” snaps Marlee.

“I’ll pay whichever of you, $8,000 for that car,” says Townerbucks,  “provided the engine starts.”

Ted answers, “Of course it starts. I accept your offer.”

Dave hollers, “NO! That car is no longer for sale! I bought it!” (Waving the check in Ted’s face.)

Marlee stomps over to the muscle car and sits on the hood, grabbing the sign off it.  “It’s my car. I was here before all of you and I have real money in hand.” she yells.

Ted says to Joe Don,” Pay no attention to them. I have the title — right here. Let’s start the car.”

YOU BE THE JUDGE.

Role models have major influence on female university choices

Women exposed to successful and charismatic role models are more likely to follow them in choosing a university major.

Women exposed to successful and charismatic role models are more likely to follow them in choosing a university major.

An experiment with undergraduates studying introductory economics classes at Southern Methodist University (SMU) in the USA, published in the American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, revealed that female students were hugely more likely to study the subject further having encountered successful female graduates of the same course.

Researchers from Texas A&M University and Lancaster University engaged two role models — chosen with the help of two current female economics majors — to speak with classes of undergraduates studying principles of economics classes about how their choice of major contributed to their success. They measured the uptake of future economics classes among that group when compared with those studying the same course who had no such interaction with the successful women.

Female students’ enrolment in further economics classes almost doubled following the role models encounter, going against general patterns in recent years showing little progress in attracting women to the field.

“Our results show that role model intervention had a significant impact on all outcomes for female students,” said report co-author Associate Professor Danila Serra, of Texas A&M University. “Being in a class that received the role model visits increased the likelihood that a female student would major in economics by almost 100 per cent. The probability of them taking intermediate or any other economics classes also increased by large margins.

“There is strong evidence of the impact of female role models on female students moving into fields of study in which men are traditionally over-represented, and that the encounters served as an inspiration.”

Principles of economics classes at SMU are typically gender-balanced, with between 44 and 47 per cent of students female. In contrast, for the next step up, only 26 per cent of students are women, and the gender imbalance worsens by graduation, with less than a quarter of economics degrees awarded to women.

“Due to historical gender imbalances in some subjects, such as economics, it is difficult for young women to come into direct contact with successful women who have majored in these fields and who can inspire them to do the same,” said report co-author Dr Catherine Porter, of Lancaster University Management School. “Our study suggests that role model intervention could have a significant impact on the treated women’s lifetime income streams.

“Our research shows that the long-term goal of moving towards gender parity in the economics profession at all levels could be achieved simply and at a relatively low cost by exposing students enrolled in principles classes to successful and inspiring alumnae.”

The researchers’ data shows the majority of those women impacted were previously planning to major in lower-earning humanities fields, and the effect did not decrease the number of them majoring in male-dominated, higher-paying fields such as STEM and finance. Those women who swayed towards economics also performed as well, if not better, in exams as the control students, showing the attraction towards the change affected seemingly qualified women who were not previously pursuing economics. Thus, there could be a positive impact on their potential future earnings.

While the effect on female students in the role model classes was marked, there was no effect on the male students in the same groups.
