GLOBE Data to Assist with Assignments The four upcoming LDR-804 assignments ask you to analyze various cultural aspects involving a team of four new global employees and the issues facing them, their team, and organization. It is important for you to incorporate quality analysis from the rich data provided by GLOBE as you develop each of these papers. However, it can also be overly time-consuming to extract GLOBE data from the sometimes hard-to-read tables provided in the e-book. For that reason, this document provides the GLOBE Society Practices (As Is) data below for the home countries of the participants in the Assignment cases. It is still up to you to interpret that data by at reviewing the relevant chapters to understand the meaning of each data category, and the significance of the data. Each GLOBE chapter can be quite complex though only a basic understanding of each subject – what GLOBE calls cultural dimensions – is necessary for this course, so you will need not read each chapter completely once you understand the basic concepts. It is, nonetheless, important to develop a solid grasp of at least the regional differences for each concept. It is also up to you to decide which data to use or not use in your papers and how to use it as part of your comparative analysis. Hence, your ultimate task is to be thinking, analyzing, and writing rather than struggling to read numbers. This resource document is designed to facilitate that work.

Cultural assessment tools
Organizational culture can broadly be described as the set of critical values, belief system
and norms which are shared by the members of a given organization. The importance of the
organizational culture is to bring together members so that they can understand how to associate
with one another and assist the organization to be able to get used to the external environment
(Daft, 2007). Productivity and top performance are brought about when there is congruence
between the staff and the organizational culture (Cameron & Quinn, 2006). One of the tools that
can be applied in cultural assessment is the Organizational Cultural Assessment Instrument
(OCAI) that was developed by Cameron and Quinn (2006). It assesses how people think, their
values and assumptions and also how they can process various types of information. The tool
applied six main dimensions in its analysis, the dominant cultural features, organizational
leadership, employee management, organizational binding forces or glue, emphasis on strategy,
and success criteria. Out of the six dimensions, two cultural dimensions were developed, the first
was to determine how the company is focused, the second is to look at how the organization
behaved either with flexibility or stability (Cameron & Quinn, 2006).
The other tool is the Global Competence Aptitude Assessment (GCAA) which is an
online tool that measures eight main components. It gives results based on each of the
dimensions but also how appropriate they are by internal readiness which applies to personal
