Week 10 Reactions by KU


Katherine and Margo were leading the class this week. I think chapter 9 is a difficult chapter. After their well-prepared presentation, I have a much better understanding on that. They did a great job.

My quiz result is the combination of low UA and low PDI which is classified as United State/United Kingdom. But when I was doing the quiz, I was actually doing it as what I want but not what I really do. Environment changes people. The next question came to my mind is now I am living in US. Is the living style in US better for me? I would leave this question to the final reflection paper. We also saw an interesting animation video about difference between Mechanistic and Organic structure of companies. I pretty much agree with what Yukari said today. The factors affecting the structure can be the goal and the scale of the company. The person in charging will also make the difference. For certain, both two structures have their own advantages in managing the work. However, in terms of the image of a company given to public, it seems that organic structure is better as it promote peace and fair for everybody. Many companies would like make it seems organic to gain good reputation. But when you really look into that, most companies are actually in mechanistic structure.
