Response to chapter 10 (KU)


In the past few chapters, it has mainly associated culture with nationality. Besides to our own family, our Nation no doubt is a big group we engaging in. Work organization is another one. In the beginning of the chapter, the writer rise up an example of organizational cultures – How Heaven’s Gate BV succeeded in the past and its organizational management culture. “The difference between national and organizational cultures is based their different mix of values and practices. National cultures are part of the mental software we acquired during the first ten years of our lives. Organizational cultures are more superficial.” Quoted from P346.

The values and practices in Nation and Organization are different. And so working as a civil servant and a normal employee are totally different. Nation looks for stability. Every country in the world is monitoring each other. Even A little mistake can be magnified a lot and examined under people. In Macau, many people like to be a civil servant because of all kinds of welfare. For those people who are not interested in being a civil servant. It is usually because of the slow pace and boring nature of the job. Oppositely, organization usually looks for breakthrough. Being the same as all the other companies in market is no good. Be special is important in a competitive market. Therefore, the way HGBV management its business quite makes sense but it is not often seen in the government. By the way, university is also a slowly changing community.
