Это интересно знать.

Термин «корпоративная культура» появился в XIX веке. Он был сформулирован и применен немецким фельдмаршалом  Хельмут Карл Бернхард фон Мольтке, который применял его, характеризуя взаимоотношения в офицерской среде. В то время взаимоотношения регулировались не только уставами, судами чести, но и дуэлями: сабельный шрам являлся обязательным атрибутом принадлежности к офицерской «корпорации». Правила поведения, как писанные, так и не писанные, сложились внутри профессиональных сообществ еще в средневековых гильдиях, причем нарушения этих правил могли приводить к исключению их членов из сообществ.

Понятие «Межкультурного общения» (МКО)  было впервые введено в 50-х годах ХХв американским ученым Эдвардом Холлом. Впоследствии развито английским ученым Квиндом Дахлом, который выстроил свою концепцию МКО.

2. Now let me introduce a situation to you. You are supposed to explain the problem after having read it.

A new employee at the R&D Finnish laboratory

I am a new employee at the R&D laboratory of a Finnish electronics company.  I come from Brazil. I find the atmosphere in the company miserable: people work alone, mostly in silence, so I try to make them happy by being friendly, sharing sweets and biscuits and singing songs. I have a lot of work, but as I best work in the evening, I stay late to finish it. But my colleagues think that I am trying to skive off work. I think that the center will be more productive if everyone relaxed and enjoyed the work. I try not to waste time and have lunch at my work place, so that I can devote every minute to my work. I try to remember everyone’s’ first names, so we could have more close relations. But people here do not socialize with me. They seemed to be not very relaxed.

I am a supervisor at the R&D laboratory of a Finnish electronics company.  I have a problem with a new employee who is from Brazil. He is very bright and friendly, but he is not really accepted by his colleagues. In Finland people like to concentrate hard on their work so that they can finish early and go home to enjoy sports and leisure activities.  Some members of the team complained that the new employee because:

1/ comes very late

2/talks loudly to his friends on the phone

3/eats and drinks in the lab

4/takes long breaks

5/Wears unsuitable clothes

6/sings and whistles

Students read the situation and answer the question.

(people can’t understand the behavior of their new colleague. They do not understand why he acts this way. They start to complain. The atmosphere in the office becomes tense. People get irritated.)

What is the cause of the problem?

(Difference in culture. Different types of people.)

You have a chance to look through the material offered to you and give an emotional, psychological description of representatives of two different cultures: a person from Brazil and a person from Finland. (Cм. Приложение 1 и 2, 3). You need to pay attention not only to their traits of character, but to their emotional behavior as well.

Учащиеся составляют эмоционально-поведенческий словесный портрет представителей двух этнических культур.

Now you task is to play this situation.

(The beginning of the working day. All people work. Only one desk is empty. A new employee from Brazil is entering the room. He is late, but looks happy. He is whistling. He greets people giving hugs and kisses. He takes his seat and starts eating a sandwich. The crumbs of bread are everywhere. Then he opens his notes and starts singing. All people looked embarrassed. Some of them are leaving their places looking irritated.)

Brazilian People

http://www.kidscornerbrazil.org/content/people.php

Brazilians are the friendly and talkative people who inhabit Brazil, in South America. They love to play soccer, to dance and to party. They also work hard and are very creative.

Brazil has a population of over 180 million people and it is the fifth most populous country in the world, after China, India, the US, and Indonesia. The rate at which the population is increasing is slowing down. In the early 1960s, women could expect to have 6 children on average. Such figure fell to an average of 2.4 children per woman in 2004.

BRAZILIAN CULTURE, CUSTOMS AND ETIQUETTE

http://www.cruisingtips.info/brazilianculture.html

In general, Brazilians are a fun-loving people. While attitude in the South may be somewhat colder and more reserved, from Rio upwards people usually boast a captivating attitude towards life and truly enjoy having a good time. Some may even tell you that beer, football, samba and barbecue is all they could crave for. Brazilians are always up for doing something new. They love to just hang out with each other, and will often stay up late into the night with groups of friends, just talking and having fun-even if they have to be at work the next day.

Brazilians live to party. Whether it's at the beach, a barbecue at home with the family or a quick beer at a café on the street, the meaning of life is clearly to socialize as much as possible.

Brazilians are usually very open, friendly and sometimes quite generous. Once introduced, until getting a good reason not to, a typical Brazilian may treat you as trustfully as he would treat a best friend. This may have an agreeable impact, but it also means that outsiders not always get the same special treatment as locals. Nevertheless, Brazilians are reputedly one of the most hospitable people in the world and foreigners are usually treated with respect and often with true admiration.

Brazilians are by nature a very warm and friendly people. Cheek-kissing is very common in Brazil, among women and between women and men. When two women, or opposite sexes first meet, it is not uncommon to kiss. Two men will shake hands. Trying to shake hands when offered a kiss will be considered odd, but never rude. In some places when people first meet, they will kiss three times, alternating right and left cheeks.

Brazilians have less sense of personal space than North Americans and are not bothered being packed together in crowded public places. They are physically expressive and convey emotional information through touch. While in some societies touching has sexual overtones, Brazilians equate it with friendship and a show of concern. Women tend to touch more than men and greet others with kisses on both cheeks, but men also welcome each other with hearty pats on the back and bear hugs. Such informality extends to conversation. Brazilians usually address teachers, doctors, priests, and other professionals using their title followed by their first name—Professor João, Doutora Maxine or Presidente Henrique.

Business etiquette in Brazil

Brazilians are very communicative people and

generally prefer face-to-face meetings rather than

written communication. It is therefore rare for important

deals to be conducted by telephone, email or letter.

Prior appointments will always be necessary and it

is worth remembering that whilst the working day is

typically 8.30am – 5.30pm in many cases executives

will start later and work into the evening.

Brazilians place a high level of importance o

Finns maybe a little slow in warming up, but as a foreigner you'll hardly notice this: Finns are interested in foreigners and are well aware of being thought of as rude and blunt, therefore they are often excessively kind and helpful.

Finns also have this trust in other people, you'll notice this with everything: the money in the public busses is kept right next to the door, people return found money, wallets etc... It is a safe place to travel in.

Finns like to keep it simple. This you will notice with food, which is mostly really nice. Good food there is considered to be clean, fresh, Finnish, possibly organic of its raw materials. This ideal makes the simplest of dishes still incredibly tasty- I suppose the quality of food is much better there than elsewhere I have traveled, even if the cooking isn't quite what it is in France.

1. Research and development

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_and_development

The term R&D or research and development (or RnD especially in domain names; or Research and Technical Development; or Research and Technological Development or RTD in Europe) refers to a specific group of activities within a business. The activities that are classified as R&D differ from company to company, but there are two primary models. In one model, the primary function of an R&D group is to develop new products; in the other model, the primary function of an R&D group is to discover and create new knowledge about scientific and technological topics for the purpose of uncovering and enabling development of valuable new products, processes, and services. Under both models, R&D differs from the vast majority of a company's activities which are intended to yield nearly immediate profit or immediate improvements in operations and involve little uncertainty as to the return on investment (ROI). The first model of R&D is generally staffed by engineers while the second model may be staffed with industrial scientists. R&D activities are carried out by corporate or governmental entities.

Present-day R&D is core part of the modern business world. Major decisions in firms are made on base of research and development.

Research and development is of great importance in business as the level of competition, production processes and methods are rapidly increasing. It is of special importance in the field of marketing where companies keep an eagle eye on competitors and customers in order to keep pace with modern trends and analyze the needs, demands and desires of their customers.

If a company has invest in R&D the results are bound to be good.
