National Culture Differences
The national culture differences in Chalon’s case are based from the American and French perspectives. The first difference in culture is the language proficiency and expression. The French influence on Chalon’s use of English is depicted by the subtlety in the expression and articulation of the ideas. According to the American culture, communication in the language requires warmth and relative ease in flow of the message passed across to the employees of an organization (Grey and Thone 1). However, Chalon did not embody this due to the culture difference from European to American setting. There is presence of goodwill in the latter as opposed to the French’s course of communication. In addition, there is a more brash nature of the French or European culture as opposed to the American. The former contains arrogance as well as demoralizing attributes generated from any exchange.
Chalon’s
case and issues exemplify national cultural differences in management. Man-management
in the American culture requires accountability and motivation from the direct relationships
established with the employees. Moreover, there is involvement in the
decision-making process of the organization according to the set out goals and
objectives. In turn, the translated effects are witnessed through ownership of
the process and improved performances by the employees. The cultural setting
from French or European influence takes a different stance towards employees.
There is motivation through result and orientation in the process as opposed to
performance. The employees are then distanced from the decision-making process
as sign of structure placing within the organization. Interpersonal
relationships with employees in American culture signify closer bonds and
integration between management and employees, which is not present on the
French setting. The results of performance deliver the effects based on the
differences.
