Oganisational Behaviour
Hello,
Today the main topic is the organizational behaviour; this is my first serious post insomuch as the last one was about other stuff that doesn’t matter with my class. Although I enjoyed to did it.
This post could start with the next question, what is organizational behaviour? I can define it as actions and reactions of individuals or groups and how they act within organisations. The main role that international business managers play in the negotiation arena is very important because they are the face of a company in a negotiation process when he is speaking is the company (include all workers) talking, is important to know that in the manager’s hands are tough decisions and they have to be intelligent to affront all problems that they could have in the future in a negotiation, they have to stay cool to make the best decision. They must motivate their team-workers to make them happy and comfortable with worker’s jobs. If a manager create a good ambiance to work the employees will be happier, effectiveness, comfortable and the company must have better results. I want to take de example of Google, as many people know what Google is, it is a multinational public computing company, internet search and advertising technologies corporation. Its managers and founders are Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page, they created the company in 1998, at the beginning it was just to find other websites and its competitor was AltaVista, founded in 1995. Since that time Google Inc. had have growths in different fields of technology, for example Google Earth or Gmail.
The philosophy for Larry and Sergy is to start perceiving their employees as self-energized. Committed, responsible and creative beings. For that reasons they create a comfortable ambiance of work with rooms where the employees could play guitar hero, watch fish tanks, have fun or just to take a nap. 
They think if their team is happy and comfortable the employees will be more efficient and have better ideas. Google Inc. doesn’t have a number of countries where it is operate thanks to globalization and technology they work in the internet and we used to use a lot of time in a week for example. This doesn’t mean that was happy for Google Inc to penetrate all countries for example they had have problems with China because China censored the corporation insomuch as government of Chine believes that the Corp. doesn’t have a filter good enough for people and it could pass information that is against China Government.
Developing cross cultural management skills are important and it is very significant to managers to understand how the world is working right now, they have to know how they can penetrate countries with different politics and believes (like religion), is important for the image of the Corporation, managers have to be ahead to many events could happened when you want to entry in another country and that is what Google Inc. do with the advantage that its market is the internet.

what an interesting comparison, nowadays some companies have an organizational culture where some of the basic concepts are thrown away, and you can find that some unorthodox practices might work better, giving the employees more freedom allows them to have a better performance. so we can say that some paradigms are being broken. this new flow can boost group behavior because they don't feel the pressure of results, but they work and create in a more relaxed environment, this new trend is used in advanced companies, hopefully more traditional companies will follow this.
ResponderEliminarI found this post a really interesting one. This method of having These practices in order to develop a specific organizational behavior is very helpful when managers want to make employees feel comfortable with the environment they are working in. But managers not only must improve their skills within the company but outside the company too, it means, with other companies, and entering new marktes ( cross cultural managerial skills).
ResponderEliminarTo Google Inc. is much easier to penetrate markets because they work through the internet. nevertheless, they have to be careful with aspects such as culture, Religion, in order to not damage the image of the company.
