Hofstedes Cultural Dimensions Project

Hofstedes Cultural Dimensions Project

Description

DELIVERABLE 5

SCENARIO

Your company is planning on expanding its offices overseas. In anticipation of your management leading a more culturally diverse team, you have been asked to create a cultural report. Within the report, you will need to include a table or chart that lists Hofstede’s cultural dimensions and their connection to diversity management and explain the role and value of cultural and social intelligence.

INSTRUCTIONS

First, create a table or chart to include in the cultural report that:

  • Summarizes each of Hofstede’s cultural dimensions.
  • Includes a strategy for each of Hofstede’s cultural dimensions that could be used to effectively manage employees that are culturally diverse.
  • Once the table or chart is created, in the same document, continue with the cultural report.

Next, develop a cultural report that:

  • Defines the concepts of cultural and social intelligence with details on similarities and differences. How are they related, and what sets them apart?
  • Discusses the impact that social intelligence can have on success in the workplace. How will social intelligence be important to your company as they expand their offices overseas?
  • Be sure the cultural report displays proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, and credible sources cited in APA format.

Scenario

You work for a company that has employees from each of the five generations: Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z. Because there is a great deal of generational diversity in your company, your managers have sometimes struggled to effectively communicate with their teams. In order to help your colleagues, you decide to put together a part of a training plan to discuss the importance of managing a diverse workforce and provide guidance to managers.

Instructions

Create a training plan that:

  • Researches and summarizes each of the five generations in the workforce:
  • Traditionalists
  • Baby Boomers
  • Generation X
  • Millennials
  • Generation Z
  • Identifies effective strategies for communicating with, motivating, and supporting a generationally diverse workforce.
  • How does each generation prefer to communicate?
  • How do you keep them engaged?
  • Examines the benefits that companies have experienced employing multigenerational workforces and why these are important for organizational success.
  • Analyzes potential communication and collaboration challenges that could occur among the different generations and why these are important to understand when managing a diverse workforce.
  • Be sure the training plan displays proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, and credible sources cited in APA format.
