MGMT 601: Assignment #3 – Business Report: Cross-Cultural Differences in Leadership

Executive Summary

The cultural competence that you need to succeed at work includes being able to relate to and

work with individuals from other cultures and those of varying social and economic statuses. It

gauges your capacity to work productively with individuals who aren't fluent in your language

and those who celebrate other holidays, do not share your views, and lead different lifestyles

than you. Being culturally competent is more critical than ever in today's work environment.

Cultural competence not only helps you be successful, but it is also essential to your company's

success.

Even though several companies now provide cultural awareness classes, cultural competency

cannot be taught. Cultural competency instead asks you to investigate your ideas and emotions to

improve your cross-cultural abilities in your profession and company.

The paper will look at the cultural differences at Amazon, mainly how it affects the world,

especially in the big industries. A variety of individuals from a range of backgrounds and

cultures utilize diverse communication methods. I suspect you like to be direct. Despite this, a

colleague may adopt a roundabout approach and convey what has to be stated more slowly. If

you want to avoid angering or upsetting your coworkers, or if you wish to communicate with

them effectively, you need to understand better how communication style is influenced by

culture and how you may compensate for such differences.

including books, music, and movies; housewares; electronics; toys; and various other items,

either directly to consumers or as an intermediary between other merchants and Amazon.com's

millions of customers. A significant part of its Web services business is providing data storage

and computing capabilities over the internet, a practice known as cloud computing. Amazon.com

has such a significant online presence that, in 2012, one percent of all Internet traffic in North

America passed through or out of Amazon.com data centers. When it comes to organizations,

corporate culture is a mix of widely held institutional ideas, values, and the guiding philosophy

that is often expressed in the organization's vision statement, mission statement, and values

statement. Individuals inside an organization frequently have a different perspective on their

organization than they do on their country. Individuals' positions within the organization's

hierarchy are often reflected in their differing points of view. Consequently, executives often

have divergent opinions regarding their company's culture compared to individuals at lower

levels in the business. Keeping abreast of how different points of view vary is an essential

element of every leader's job description.

The personal and learning environment influences the beliefs and behaviors we develop and

share with others. Leaders should consider their professional responsibility and how it benefits

their career to improve intercultural understanding and strengthen their abilities. Multi-cultural
