...Negative impacts of generational differences in the workplace of China The past decades have witnessed a dramatic transformation in China. With the development of modern society, the generational differences are becoming growingly deep and complex. Although it is normal that people have diverse personalities and lifestyles, the disparity between generations is quite evident. Working age Chinese fell into two main generations, “a generation being defined as an identifiable group that shares birth years, age, location, and significant life events at critical developmental stages”(Kupperschmidt, 2000, p.65), divided by the year when the reform and opening up was implemented. As an increasing number of young people have graduated from schools and start their careers, concern about the generational difference in the workplace is raised. Since different generation internally share different value and culture, communication problems and interpersonal conflict are almost inevitable, which may result in negative impact in workplace, like inefficiency and low productivity. In this essay, the causes and effects of these problems will be examined before continuing suggesting solutions. The essay will then be concluded by presenting personal opinion on this topic.

... emails and telephone calls. This type of interaction often involves a three-stage process; greeting/warm-up, conversation/information exchange and farewells/winding down. In the greeting stage it is important to create a positive emotional atmosphere, most people usually say ‘Hello’ or ‘Good morning’. Once a positive, friendly atmosphere is achieved, you can continue to the conversation exchange. Here, the information or subject you want to talk about is exchanged. The final stage is the farewell stage, in this stage you leave the person with a positive atmosphere and say something like ‘see you soon’ or ‘goodbye’. One-to-one communication is very important in the health and social care sector. For example, care workers talk to their colleagues, their patients and to their relatives on a one-one basis daily.

...innately understood as the unique beings we are, not just personally by our family and close friends, but professionally as well. More often than not communication issues bleed into our workplace on a daily basis, adding significant and unnecessary tension as we go about our day that we wind up bringing into our homes-our respite and peaceful haven from the chaotic world. The appearance of conflict is ubiquitous and certainly inevitable, but knowing a few tips for handling communication dilemmas at one’s place of work can increase one’s quality of life at work leading one to a happier and more productive person on the job, thereby carrying less of a burden on one’s shoulders when coming home. Unfortunately the way we are perceived by our colleagues at work is in their eyes a reflection of who we are as individuals. With that in mind, it is best to make a lasting impression not just on the very first day of one’s job, but going forward into one’s respective careers. 1. Get to know your coworkers in a realistic light- It is impossible to know every individual’s personality type at your workplace. However, what is possible is in the interim to gauge what may “tick” someone off, and what, on the contrary may please them. Adjust yourself and your personality accordingly. The general rule of thumb is not to probe too much into why they are behaving a certain way towards you or others, because the more you overanalyze the more you will internalize the situation, and perceive them...

...the organisation. A major contributing factor to their failure is poor communication. Communication is defined in numerous ways, but here is one that can be associated within the workplace; “any behaviour – verbal or nonverbal- that is perceived by another,” taken from The Business Communication Handbook by Judith Dwyer or “an exchange of words, feelings, symbols, gestures, etc. that must be understood and responded too” taken from Understanding Human Communication by Ronald Adler. For effective communication it is known that it’s a two-way process of sending the right message that is also being correctly received and understood by the other person/s. In any organization or everyday situations, we have different types of communication styles taking place. It may be verbal communication, nonverbal, or graphic communication. During the communication cycle or process many miscommunications or interpretations can take place, i.e. anywhere between the sender, the message, the receiver, feedback, the communication channel, context, and noise. It is within this process where the sender encodes an idea or feeling; verbal, nonverbal or graphical and conveys the message via a communication channel to the receiver where he decodes the message and interprets it to his understanding. The recipient understanding of the message would depict whether the message was understood or distorted which will alternatively affect feedback to the sender. Communication depends on our perception, or how...

...On a basic level, the root cause of the disagreement between Hernán Otero and Alexey Iskhakov is based on miscommunication. However, on a deeper level, the disagreement between the two programmers is a result of their cultural differences. It is critically important for Emilio to resolve this disagreement and to make significant changes within the organization to ensure that it does not continue or recur. The key steps will include: working with both Hernán and Alexey to defuse the current situation; changing the physical set up of the InterSoft lab to promote a better sense of team; and implementing new training procedures to prepare both Russian and Argentinian staff members for travel to either country. Alexey, Bruno, Hernán and Emilio were working on an important component of an updated version of IDEAFIX scheduled to be launched soon, so it was important that their programming progress on schedule. Tensions recently escalated between Hernán and Alexey because of a series of emails, initiated by Hernán, regarding the design of an event-handling algorithm of IDEAFIX. The email “conversation” between Hernán and Alexey seemed to occur after the first time that they could not reach an agreement even after much discussion. When Bruno became concerned that Alexey did not understand what needed to be done with the design of IDEAFIX, he informed Hernán.

...Introduction Present there is a high number of companies worldwide, which have moved some activity of the company to another country. There are many variations of what activities companies choose to move, though some activities have remarkably higher tendencies of being moved. After the Second World War there has been a high number of companies, which move industrial activities such as manufacturing of textiles, cars and ships. During the recent decades there have been other tendencies for moving activities abroad, hence services as in helpdesks, and non-physical products such as programming. One of the countries, which have a very high influence on these activities is India. The purpose of moving an activity to another country has various reasons, for instance trips abroad or high accessibility to skilled resources, but the major reason is to reduce costs of these activities. For that reason India have made a high impact on these activities as of the low wage level. India is in general one of the successful countries when it comes to offshoring IT enabled services. It has for many reasons, but the major factor is India’s cost competitive labor, vast human capital, and their education system, which made them excellent English speakers. Yet, there is still many companies, which have not moved any activity across borders. The reason they have not may differ.

...is necessary to analyze the system of ideas that have been designed among several scholars. However, this paper is specifically focused on the discussion of three theories, which were found to have relevant viewpoints. Throughout this paper, the theory of constructivism, the critical theory of communication in organizations (CTCO), and communication accommodation theory (CAT) were examined. Constructivism Theory Constructivism is a communication theory, which is focused on the identification of individual differences among people’s ability to communicate effectively in social situations (Griffin, 2012). Jesse Delia is credited for the development of constructivism theory. Delia’s theory of constructivism implies there is a difference between people who are interpersonally successful, opposed to those who are not. Delia’s theory of constructivism is focused on being able to better understand the differences among individuals who communicate more effectively in social situations. Interpersonal Constructs Each person has a unique perception of the world and those they encounter. People construct their knowledge through their interactions with the physical world, coactively in social settings, and in a culturally linguistic environment (as cited in Sjoberg, 2007). Through the development of interpersonal constructs, individuals establish...

Harry continues arguing that he saw the employee joking, laughing and goofing around with a co-worker. On the other hand, a colleague to the injured employee raise claims that despite regular maintenance of the table, it wasn’t safe since the safety guard was poorly designed and didn’t function proficiently. He further claims that he forwarded his concerns to the foreman about his concerns on the issue of security, but he didn’t take vital steps.

In bit of trying to analyse the case it is important to substantially note the conditions which contribute to John claiming that the company should be held responsible for his injuries, and David claiming that the employee should not blame them for the injuries.
