...New Zealand The natives in New Zealand are the Māori people who came to New Zealand from Polynesia between the years of 1200 to 1300. European missionaries came to New Zealand to convert the population to Catholics and they managed to do that but shortly after the british government wanted to make New Zealand into a british colony. The Maori leaders did not approve this so the queen of the united kingdom was forced to send a man with the name of William Hobson. He had the mission to get the leaders of New Zealand to accept the treaty of Waitangi which basically said that New Zealand would become a british colony. The treaty was signed on the 6th february 1840. New Zealand became an important trading post for sellers and buyers. The population of New Zealand is only 4.4 million but for the size of the country it is a lot. The capital is called Wellington. The total area is 268.021 km² which is the half of Swedens total area. The biggest city is Auckland with the population of 1.4 million residents. New Zealand is divided by two islands, the north and the south islands. The climate is both mild and warm because of the amount of mountains and seas. It’s about 37 to 47 degrees everyday in New Zealand. The climate doesn’t change that much depending on the seasons which is strange compared to different countries.

...Questions 1. In your opinion, has the New Zealand Heritage Park Selected the right market targets? I believe that the international tourist market is the most important for the New Zealand Heritage Park to target. International tourists are those who are visiting New Zealand on holidays, their primary objective is that of enjoyment, relaxation and experiencing something different to that which they are used to. The New Zealand Heritage Park is a place which allows them to do just that, experiencing both the natural, cultural and agricultural delights of New Zealand. These three aspects of New Zealand are rarely found in the same areas and are widely spread making it a costly and time consuming exercise for visitors to see all three. Although currently overseas visitors only contribute 35% to the total visitor numbers of the park I believe that as the promotional material that has already been produced fully filters out and with the addition of further promotion this number will increase significantly and make international visitors the largest visitor group to the park. Although initially the domestic market is making up 55% of the visitors to the park I believe that these numbers will drop back significantly after the initial opening hype of the park. Domestic visitors are those which live in New Zealand, therefore the majority are already familiar with the natural environment, agriculture and farming works as well as Maori culture of New Zealand. Therefore the majority of the population...

...Brooke Bragenzer Period 2 New Zealand Colonization The history of New Zealand dates back at least 700 years to when it was discovered and settled by Polynesians, who developed a distinct Māori culture centered on kinship links and land. The first European explorer to sight New Zealand was Abel Janszoon Tasman on 13 December 1642. Captain James Cook, who reached New Zealand in October 1769 on the first of his three voyages, was the first European explorer to circumnavigate and map New Zealand Polynesian Settlement Aotearoa (the Maori name for New Zealand, which translates as 'Land of the Long White Cloud') was first settled by Maori between 950 and 1130 AD. Highly sophisticated ocean navigators, Maori journeyed south through the Pacific from their original homeland, Hawaiiki (believed to be near Tahiti), to their new home of Aotearoa. Aotearoa possessed a more temperate climate than their original Pacific Island home, with no indigenous mammals (aside from the native bat) to hunt for food. Bird and marine life was plentiful however, and Maori also began to cultivate kumara, taro and yam. Isolated from other Polynesian peoples by thousands of miles of ocean, Maori developed a unique and vibrant culture of their own, reflecting their natural environment and affinity with the land. Maori, the tangata whenua (people of the land) were the only inhabitants of New Zealand for over 600 years, until the arrival of European explorers in the mid 1600s. European Exploration ...

...New Zealand [pic] [pic] • Geography New Zealand is a remote, mountainous group of islands in the southeastern Pacific Ocean. The two main islands, North and South Islands, are separated by the Cook Strait. Australia, its nearest neighbor, is 1,000 miles (1,600 km) away. • The islands were created just 23 million years ago when land was thrust out of the ocean by volcanic forces. New Zealand has more than 50 volcanoes, some of which are still active today. Sharp snowy peaks, rocky shores, and pastures create a majestic landscape. • The South Island is home to the highest mountain peak in New Zealand, Mount Cook, which rises to 12,316 feet (3,754 meters) and is called "Cloud Piercer" by the Maori people. • Nature Because of its remote location, New Zealand is rich in unusual wildlife not seen anywhere else in the world. Nearly all the land animals are birds and many of these species have lost the ability to fly. The Maori people and European settlers introduced animals to the islands and the flightless birds had no defense against them. • In the last 1,000 years, half of all animals on the islands have become extinct. Deforestation and draining of swamp land is also threatening many remaining species, including the kiwi bird. Fewer than 75,000 wild kiwis remain. Several species are recovering, including the kakapo, kokako, kiwi, and tuatara. • Bats are the only land mammals to have made the ocean crossing. Birds and insects, such...

...Case 3 Frank Thien Australia and New Zealand 1. Australia and New Zealand have different cultures than the others in Asia and it’s shown in GLOBE’s Humane-Orientation. New Zealand falls in the “Medium Humane-Oriented” category but other Asian countries are listed in the “most Human-Oriented” category. Looking at Hofstede and Masculinity in countries it shows Japan as high masculinity and New Zealand is low. In Asian countries they usually are more relationship oriented where Australia is the complete opposite. Another example is Australia is high in individualism and China and Japan are the opposite, they are collectivistic. 2. The Indonesian archipelago is unique in terms of extent and diversity. It has volcanic soils, yet other parts of the country contain resources like oil, natural gasses and coal. Indonesian countries are diverse in their weather also, some parts have heavy rains and monsoons while other parts have droughts that lead to famines. There’s a large imbalance of population distribution, 60% of Indonesians live on the main island called Java. 3. A characteristic of the Indonesian workplace profile is that Indonesian managers place value on harmony, understanding and mutual respect. Indonesian workers expect their supervisors to look after their interests like parents would and to be very accepting of this role. Bad news may be kept secret from the boss in the work place due to trying to save face and employees may simply ignore situations that they may find...

...analysis, Auckland (how many people live there, find an article on health in NZ) marketing the product Whole Foods has a strong reputation of being one of the top premium organic grocery stores here in the United States, but their business could grow to other countries, such as New Zealand. New Zealand has a population of over 4 million people who are very culturally health conscious. There is a very good market for Whole Foods to come into New Zealand and become a successful chain of stores around the two islands. For Whole Foods to successfully come into this country they would have to look at the laws, environment, socio-economics, marketing and technology.

...1. Using this case and the cultural dimensions explored in this chapter, discuss some of the ways in which citizens of Australia and New Zealand are members of cultures very different from any other in Asia. - Australia and New Zealand cultures are drastically different from the culture of those who live in most Asian countries. No matter where you live, religion plays a large role in everyday life. Australia and New Zealand’s most practiced form of religion is Catholicism while the most practiced religion in Asia is Hinduism. The two different religions definitely play a role in how the countries cultures are and how they operate in business. The different religions can have an effect on work breaks, holidays, or ‘blessing’ of office locations. All of these things can have an effect on profit for your company. Another cultural difference is that Asia signifies the importance of developing long-term relationships to make a profit which is different from Australia and New Zealand. This does not mean that Australia and New Zealand do not aim for long-lasting relationships to help in their business practices; they just do not put as much stress on that as other Asian cultures. Strong relationships are vital to the cultural success of other Asian civilizations. The keys to Australian businesses being successful in Asia are perseverance, patience and building relationships. For successful engagement in business in the region, don’t just focus on understanding the culture of ‘the...
