CORPORATE CULTURE IN BUSNESS
Tumblr media
INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MANAGEMENT, Adaptive Corporate Culture, Corporate Culture in Business, Corporate Culture in Marketing, Corporate Culture in Strategic Management, Types of Corporate Culture, Define Corporate Culture
NEW BOOK on International Business Management
Adaptive Corporate Culture 
in International Business Management
ISBN: 9783346810021
Year: 2023, 272 pages
GRIN Verlag, Munich, Germany
"I believe every truly exceptional organization understands that culture needs to be at the center of its success," writes Roz Brewer, the CEO of Walgreens Boots Alliance, in The Economist. The one of only two Black women CEOs of Fortune 500 companies then adds, "In 2023 and beyond, connections to companies’ culture and values will be key drivers of motivation for workers as we rephrase the corporate environment."
This book is mainly built upon our investigations of international enterprises operating in France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Japan, Hong Kong, USA, Finland and India. It's then enriched by case studies from China, Bahrain, Australia, Thailand, Spain and Indonesia. Multinational aspects are thus thoroughly discussed. COVID-19 has taught enterprises a lesson to be resilient, even more importantly for those running international operations. Resilience comes from agility, and agility starts with culture. The book is here to help us practitioners and students of International Business Management succeed in building an Adaptive Corporate Culture (ACC) and align it with an agile strategy. Chapters 1 to 6 bring the ACC to the table, while Chapters 7 onwards explore the diverse flavours of corporate culture in different sectors: energy & telecom, asset management, and aviation travel & tourism. In addition to further expanding our horizon, they may trigger fresh ideas for our own industry.
While strategy has always been in the centre of managers' attention, the fundamental role of culture in the firm's success is often overlooked. Sadly because it's not well understood. Culture has been accountable for around 40% of differences between good performing and poor performing enterprises. For multinationals, it is estimated that 60% of Merger and Acquisitions fail to meet their intended objectives, or fail altogether, because of unresolved cultural issues. If aligned well with strategy, the combination will create an unbeatable power. If not, culture will eat strategy as a breakfast.

The thing with the men being paid too much is that they are seem to be very far away from normality and reality, they are not relatable to the fans, those big deals and stuff when people struggle to live comfort life on a daily basis. Just sad that they become more like a whole household name ("brand, busness, company") now then just being people who play sport. idk if I worded it correctly
Exactly and the fact that there are still women players out there who are fully professional but still have another job to make ends meet

I mostly place the blame on J*mes G*nn bc unfortunately im like. familiar with his pre-Disney oeuvre and the shit like the Sexy Empowered (We Know She's Empowered Because I, A Dude, Say So, See, She Chooses to Wear That) Lady characters and the 80s throwback racist Asian stereotypes are all typical of his shit. Suda51 went on record saying that Juliet's DLC outfits made him super uncomfortable and that the sexy eyecandy ladies in Killer is Dead were the publisher's ideas and not his, among other things, and knowing how thoughtful his games are in other instances (barring like the cartoonishly evil dude who kills women in Killer7 because he also fucking, like, kidnaps busfuls of orphans to harvest their organs to manufacture living bombs, that's how cartoonishly over the top and vile that character is) it would strike me as really ooc for him to write that into his game

Trans women get periods too. There's nothing bio or cis about periods. Educate yourself
Are you 100 percent sure of that.. seems made up to make a point?   Also..  I never said anything about trans women having OR not having a period.. Not once not ever did I write that because it is none of my business.. still seems sketchy at best.  Seem like you are arguing to argue rather than giving two shits about actual trans people.   PLease.. educate me.. I can’t recall ever seeing anything that would indicate that a biolocal male body belonging to a trans women has a uterus that produces menstural blood. but then again i never looked..None of my busness.. ALso.. as far as educating myself.. I literally spend time, sometimes hours a week talking to ACTUAL trans people and learning from them so I can help.. sooo yeah..

Beto Bets on the Border
Will showing up with a high-minded call for border solidarity translate to the historic levels of Latino turnout that O'Rourke needs?
by Justin Miller August 24, 2018
After winning the Democratic primary for Beto O'Rourke's congressional seat, his friend and political ally Veronica Escobar, an exuberant former El Paso County judge, began planning a four-day “Border Surge” bus tour to spread the gospel of Beto in the Texas borderlands, where he struggled in the primary.
The goal of the tour, which wrapped up this week, was to knock on thousands of doors and kick off a fevered get-out-the-vote push that will increase Democratic voter turnout in the 32 border counties by 15 percent. That lofty feat would bring in 170,000 new votes and, Escobar hopes, help put O'Rourke over the top in November.
In order to come even close to winning, O'Rourke needs to do a hundred different things that Democrats have failed to do in the past. That includes achieving record levels of turnout in the Rio Grande Valley, one of the largest- and fastest-growing pockets of Latino voters in the nation - and an area notorious for low voter participation.
After years of Republicans (and some Democrats) using the U.S.-Mexico border as a punching bag for their war on immigration, O'Rourke and his allies are hoping that a high-minded call for border community solidarity from El Paso to Brownsville - 825 miles to the southeast - will resonate with voters.
Tumblr media
Veronica Escobar, who will likely become the first Latina elected to Congress from Texas, has made increasing turnout for O'Rourke along the border her personal mission.  Justin Miller
With less than two months until early voting begins, O'Rourke's most recent campaign swing came with a sense of urgency.
The Observer tagged along with Escobar's “Border Surge” bus tour, which included rallies and blockwalking in Laredo, McAllen and Brownsville, to see what O'Rourke and his allies are doing to reach out to Latino voters and jumpstart turnout in one of the most crucial regions for statewide campaigns.
'He's the male Ann Richards'
Just weeks after launching his presidential bid by calling Mexicans “rapists,” Donald Trump flew to Laredo to preach about the dangers of illegal immigration and promote his border wall plan. Surrounded by a security detail, Trump claimed that he came to the Texas border city at great risk to his personal safety.
Three years later, Escobar and a busful of about 30 volunteers - mostly older women, all without a single bodyguard  - survived the harrowing 10-hour journey from El Paso to Laredo for the first stop in her “Border Surge” tour.
With the 100-degree heat lingering into the evening, hundreds of Laredoans flock into the Casablanca Ballroom to hear from O'Rourke as he makes his eighth trip through the city. “He's the male Ann Richards as far as charisma goes. And the South Texans loved Ann Richards,” former Webb County Judge Mercurio Martinez tells me. “He wins over every person he talks to.”
Tumblr media
The statewide Democratic ticket has tagged along for O'Rourke's swing through Laredo, McAllen and Brownsville. They deliver a series of long-winded stump speeches like an amateur warm-up act killing time before the headliner, who's speeding down I-35 from an afternoon event in San Antonio.
You can feel the crowd turn electric when O'Rourke and his entourage enter the hall. He hangs off to the side, greeting supporters and taking photos as Cristela Alonzo, a comedian and TV star from Hidalgo County and Beto's travel companion through the Valley, warms up the crowd.
Then he jumps on stage and delivers a speech in his hallmark style - stream-of-consciousness, but remarkably coherent. He touches on everything from family separations, Dreamers and health care to veterans and ending ongoing wars to Trump's “collusion in action in Helsinki with Vladimir Putin.” He's often at his most candid when talking about growing up in El Paso and about the tragedy of family separations.
As a native El Pasoan and close friend of O'Rourke's for about 20 years, this campaign is personal for Escobar. “I feel that we are giving [the state] our best. He is a son of the border,” she says. But she worries about the prospect of O'Rourke losing because of dismal border turnout. Political analysts point to early indications that, even in the Trump era, Latino turnout is likely to dramatically fall off like it has in previous midterm cycles. And in a cycle that's focused on flipping suburbs, many Democratic groups have, once again, failed to prioritize Latino outreach. “Shame on us if that were to happen,” she says. “That would send a really terrible message to the White House, to state leaders, to Republicans, to all those who demonize us that we're OK with it and that it doesn't bother us.”
'This election could be decided by the person whose door you knock on'
On a steamy Saturday morning, O'Rourke climbs onto a stone ledge at a park in north Laredo to present to a crowd of about 60 volunteers his romantic belief in the power of blockwalking. “They may not see the TV ads that we've got running now, they may not hear the radio spot that might play on their way home from work. They will remember that you took the time this morning … to listen to them.”
Even as his campaign starts to ramp up more traditional modes of outreach, he has no intention of de-emphasizing this cornerstone of his DIY campaign. “In the closest Texas Senate election in decades … this election could be decided by the person whose door you knock on.”
Tumblr media
O'Rourke's crowd sizes keep getting bigger with each pass through a town.  Justin Miller
Using Polis, the campaign's voter database app, which provides a real-time map of low-frequency Democratic voters, Escobar goes from house to house in Laredo's middle-class Hillside neighborhood. It takes a minute to get her bearings, briefly walking the wrong way as she tried to find a street. “This is the problem with door-knocking in a city you don't know,” she says. Another problem: It's hard to convince unlikely voters to vote when they don't answer the door. For the 45 minutes I tagged along, she knocked on about a dozen doors and got answers at only one or two. She'd leave a handwritten note, hoping that might help.
Tagging along with Escobar is Sergio Mora, a former Webb County Democratic Party chair. The enthusiastic crowd at last night's event makes him think change just might be afoot in Laredo. But is there any other evidence that voters are unusually fired up. He shrugs. “That's the big experiment this cycle.”
One El Paso volunteer tells me that most people who answered their doors in Laredo had never heard of O'Rourke and many had no intention of voting.  
'This is a powerfully sacred place to me'
The 150-mile stretch of remote highway between Laredo and McAllen has lots of big ranches, wind turbines and Border Patrol agents, but not much in the way of voters. The “Border Surge” bus skips past Zapata, Jim Hogg and Starr Counties, roaring on to Brownsville. Meanwhile, O'Rourke stops off for his sixth visit to McAllen, the seat of Hidalgo County. It's the epicenter of the Valley, where the number of registered voters has more than doubled since 2000 to about 330,000.
Tumblr media
Several hundred supporters packed Cine El Rey, a downtown theater, to capacity with even more folks filing into the restaurant next door to watch him via livestream. O'Rourke tells reporters before his speech that the Valley often feels like the center of the universe to him. “This is a powerfully sacred place to me.”
While he's cast himself as an unsullied ally of the border, O'Rourke's voting record includes a wrinkle or two. Pressed by a local reporter on whether his controversial vote for an appropriations bill that put at risk the future of the local Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park, he performed an uncharacteristic punt. He says he's “working with colleagues on both sides of the aisle. We're doing everything we can to stop that [from being constructed].”
With that, O'Rourke was whisked away by his aides.
'People always call Brownsville and the Valley 'the sleeping giant”
The hour-long drive through the suburban sprawl of chain restaurants and shopping centers between McAllen and Brownsville is a reminder of the Valley's rapid growth - even as climate change and urbanization put the Rio Grande at risk.
On the border by the Gulf, Brownsville is the heart of Cameron County. O'Rourke very nearly lost here to Sema Hernandez, an unknown Houston activist, and now needs the area to turn out for him in huge numbers. This is his sixth visit to Brownsville.
Tumblr media
At his third and final event during his Valley swing, hundreds pile into the sweaty Tex-Mex Nightclub on a frontage road off Interstate 69 to hear O'Rourke deliver another barn-burner. Afterwards, as he wends his way through the crowd to get outside, greeting well-wishers and selfie-seekers, he emphasizes the importance of the RGV to his statewide strategy. “It's everything. It's everything,” ticking off how many times he's been to Laredo, McAllen, Brownsville and other Valley towns.
O'Rourke's rallies often feel like an alternate universe. People are filled with hope, their Texas cynicism washed away. It's a place where anything - a post-partisan reckoning, a surge in Valley turnout and yes, even a Democrat winning statewide - seems possible. Life is sweet at a Beto rally. But outside that bubble, the feeling can get quickly wiped away.
The Valley's elections are driven by an internecine political machine with a long history of corruption. Candidates lean heavily on politiqueras, who charge campaigns to turn out voters. His campaign has prided itself on doing things differently, and in the primary O'Rourke apparently declined to use them.
I asked whether he has any plans to use politiqueras for the general election. “We're getting behind those who are volunteering their time to knock on doors. There are some neighborhoods where the residents there don't have the luxury to knock on doors on a Saturday. They're working their second job or their third job,” he says. “If we can find paid staff in those neighborhoods who are gonna be able to knock on doors, who know their neighbors, we'll do that as well.”
Tumblr media
O'Rourke hangs off to the side with volunteers from El Paso before his speech in Laredo.  Justin Miller
Vicente Martinez, a local activist and recent graduate of the University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley, is skeptical of a voting surge around here. “People always call Brownsville and the Valley 'the sleeping giant'” and wonder if now is when it will wake up, he says. “I heard that in elementary school and I heard that after Trump was elected.”
Is Beto doing enough to reach young people? Martinez smiles and points to the venue where the band is still playing. “Tex-Mex conjunto. That's not a millennial thing. … It's a little stereotypical.”
'The greatest candidate of our generation'
A powerful Gulf breeze sweeps through Tony Gonzalez Park, cutting the early morning's humid heat and rustling the palm trees that dot the park. Volunteers sip on coffee and munch on pan dulce as they get ready to hit the streets of Brownsville. Escobar grabs a bullhorn and introduces O'Rourke as “the greatest candidate of our generation.”
This is Day 22 of his relentless 34-day sprint around the state. Dressed in his black skinny jeans and white dress shirt, which he'll wash during a live-streamed laundromat trip a few hours later, O'Rourke delivers an energetic call to action. But the fatigue is evident in the bags forming under his eyes.
After his speech, he heads out to block walk in the surrounding Southmost neighborhood with State Representative Eddie Lucio III, a 39-year-old attorney whose father, Eddie Lucio Jr., serves in the Texas Senate. From there, he stops for a roundtable in Harlingen, eats a Tex-Mex lunch, does his laundry and drives the two hours north to Alice for a town hall.
Tumblr media
O'Rourke hopes that an army of volunteers knocking doors will lead him to victory.  Justin Miller
Tony Martinez, the Brownsville mayor, says O'Rourke just might have the winning political formula, but admitted that “he's probably not as known [in Brownsville] as I'd like him to be.” To increase turnout by 15 percent in this county, O'Rourke needs to drive out 25,000 more voters than Democrats did in 2014.
Cameron County Judge Eddie Treviño Jr. is one of the few not wearing a Beto T-shirt - he's facing an election fight in November and sports his own black-and-orange campaign shirt. He says that O'Rourke has injected a sense of urgency into the local politics and is doing the work that Democrats in the area have long neglected to do.
O'Rourke's multiple trips through the Valley seem to be moving the needle, Treviño says, at least a little bit. “I think we're going to surprise a lot of people. I like that we're just creeping up now and not gonna peak too early,” Treviño says.
Blockwalking as a duo in Los Fresnos, a small exurban town 30 minutes north of Brownsville, Treviño and Cameron County Clerk Sylvia Garza-Perez emphasize to residents that Beto is a Democrat and a fronteriza who is against family separations.
Tumblr media
Luis Gonzalez, who voted for O'Rourke in the primary, was one of the few people who had heard of the El Paso congressman.  Justin Miller
Of those who answer their door, almost no one knows who O'Rourke is, but they politely listen, nod along and promise to vote.
Hanging out in his yard with his boxer, Luis Gonzalez was the only person who knew of O'Rourke, having voted for him in the primary. He's not so sure about any sort of surge and lamented the fact that O'Rourke seemed to focus on the bigger Valley hubs like Brownsville and McAllen. “What about the farm towns? Why isn't Beto coming here?” he asks.
'I don't believe it will happen organically'
At their last blockwalking event on a Monday morning, Escobar and her El Paso volunteers gathered at a park in a nice suburban neighborhood on the northside of McAllen, waiting for local volunteers to show up. Luciano Chano Garza, a local party activist, begins calling up more people to see if they could come out. Celia Hilber, an older woman who recently moved back to the Rio Grande Valley from Alabama, was one of the only other local volunteers there. “I may not be able to give much money, but I can give my time and effort,” she says after taking a team of El Pasoans to blockwalk.
Tumblr media
With the help of people like Garza-Perez and Treviño, O'Rourke needs record levels of turnout in Cameron County.  Justin Miller
Danny Diaz started Cambio Texas with the sole purpose of increasing turnout in the lower Valley. The group hopes to target about 25 precincts in Hidalgo County -  where about a third of the population lives in unincorporated colonias - with especially bad turnout in 2014. But the group is still fledgling and doesn't have much in the way of money to fund a large-scale operation. He's talked to the state Democratic Party, but says they haven't committed any sort of funding.
That leaves O'Rourke's campaign trying to fill in the gaps. He's been running radio ads in the area for a while, opened up two campaign headquarters in the Valley and hired a cadre of local field organizers. But the campaign is still largely relying on volunteers to help with phone-banking and door-knocking.
“I don't believe it's a guarantee that [a border turnout surge] will happen. I don't believe it will happen organically. I don't believe that anger alone will fuel it. But we have one of the two components: an inspiring candidate,” Escobar says. “We need an army of field volunteers knocking on doors and spending the time with those voters who [would otherwise] stay home.”

Reverse, for Hound Wilson
Let me take you back in time to place where things looked rosy. Yes, there was a war raging across the sea but the small boy we shall focus on didn’t really know much about that. He was sitting at a desk far too big for him pouring over his maths work.
“Wilson, finish your sums and get ready, sweety. We’ll be having the guests soon.” One of the nannies called to him. An interchangable Anne probably. Wilson pouts and hides a little behind the desk.
“Oh come on, sweety. You’ll get on with them like a house on fire.” Probably Anne came in and picked him off the chair. Knowing Wilson the work was probably done already and then some. The strange child liked maths. “Your big brothers and sister are ready.”
“Then I dun need to. They can play with them!”
Probably Anne rolled her eyes. Wilson was a studious, but not very sociable child. “You can’t hide back here the whole time. You liked Marie didn’t you?”
“Yes…”
There it was, the sound of defeat. Probably Anne had won this time. She led him off to his room to make sure he actually did get ready.
Let us skip forward a little…
Wilson sat on the couch with his older siblings. Alfred was chatting happily with Johnny. The twins Fred and Esmeralda seemed to be as bored as he was.
A knock on the door.
Probably Anne let a couple and their children in. The usual kind of pleasantries. Probably Anne led those children into the room with Wilson and his siblings while the butler took the couple to talk busness with the elder Higgsburys.
Alfred and Johnny greated an older boy enthusiastically. The twins settled down to chat with an older girl. The youngest girl walked right up to Wilson, seeming to try and avoid the older kids.
“Let’s go hunt butterflies. I don’t wanna be stuck inside.” She had cascading blond
“Um, okay?” Wilson wished he had a book to hide behind for some reason. “What’s your name?”
“Cornelia. I assume your Wilson, right?”
Wilson got himself throroughly muddy trying to make sure she didn’t hurt herself trying to catch butterflies that fluttered about the flower patches. Still, it was kinda nice, right?
Wilson and Cornelia met a total of three times as children and twice in their teens. It looked from the outside like he got on better with her then other women.
Like a house on fire, indeed. There would be screaming.

The left are trying to normalize degeneracy
A few weeks ago we learned that Micah Rhodes, one of the heads of Portland’s Resistance movement, is a pedophile. He was arrested for political action but then brought into court for sexual charges totally unrelated to anarchy. He’s now facing four counts of second-degree sexual abuse. He’s already a registered sex offender in the area, responsible for first-degree sexual abuse and sodomy. 
His group is another one of these “antifascist” movements you see with kids wearing masks, smashing Bank of America windows, and punching “Nazis” (anyone who disagrees with them) in the face. They purport to be about equality, but I just had an epiphany and realized they’re actually mentally ill perverts who are at war with normalcy because it exposes them for the freaks they truly are. 
One of their favorite accusations is we are “normalizing white supremacy.” This sounds like a world where skinheads with swastika tattoos pack your groceries and it’s very confusing if you take it literally, but what it really means is: “Normal” is the worst thing imaginable. If you recognize it as a concept, you’re a Nazi.
Rhodes has been an integral part of fighting Trump and resisting hate in Portland. His people achieve this by standing arm in arm to stop a busful of people going to work (something the police are no longer tolerating). It seems so illogical. Why do you give a shit if someone goes to their retail job to sell shirts? Are you anti-shirt? No. They are anti-normal. It’s why they want us to embrace the lie about 400 genders and it’s why they want us to “just go along with it” when people start believing they’re wolves and leprechauns. It’s why they embrace a deadly homophobic and sexist religion as Islam because anything that isn’t “white” they will cling to. 
The left are full of these weirdos. Remember the guy who punched alleged Nazi Richard Spencer in the face? There’s a striking resemblance between himself and a particular S&M cuckold who lets people defecate on him...
Rebecca Goyette, better known as the psycho college professor who accused the police of not protecting students from “Nazis” and screaming for the police to go kick some Nazi ass. It was discovered soon after that she’s the star of vile ‘Lobster Porn’ where she dresses up in a variety of low-rent lobster costumes and has simulated sex with various men wearing prosthetic penises.
And it wasn’t long ago that we learned a major figure in the #DisruptJ20 movement was renowned pedophile Luke Kuhn. He said he would burn houses down if people stood in his way. He said he does not recognize the police and will fight them if they have a problem with his lifestyle. When James O’Keefe presented these tapes to the FBI, they thanked him profusely and said they’d been following Luke for a while. 
Back in May, we learned about Black Lives Matter’s Charles Wade. The Washington Times pointed out, “He was listed as No. 40 on The Root’s 100 most influential black activists.” Though he pretended he was about justice and ethics and doing the right thing, he was a pimp who was caught trafficking a 17-year-old girl. 
In this same group, I would lump feminist activist Donna Hylton, who kidnapped a gay man and sodomized him to death over several days back in the ’80s. She gave a rousing speech at the Women’s March that was met with uproarious applause. This is the same march, incidentally, that featured 5-year-old girls carrying signs that said things like “This pussy grabs back” and “Don’t grab my pussy.”
The reason I call this an epiphany is because it neatly puts all the pieces together. Hylton gave a speech to people carrying rainbow flags. The Women’s March was run by a Muslim who advocates for Sharia law. Charles Wade and BLM never mention black-on-black crime. Luke Khan hates the police because he wants others to have underage sex like himself.
If these people cared about racism, they’d be outraged by the ethnic cleansing Mexicans are committing on blacks in South Central L.A. If they cared about rape, they’d be outraged by the black-on-white rape stats when compared with white-on-black rape. If feminists were really concerned about gender equality and rape, they’d be fighting to stop the amount of women being raped when crossing the border illegally or to stop prison rape.  
They pretend to care passionately about justice yet turn a blind eye when it doesn’t suit their narrative. This is because they only care about self-gratification and yep you guessed it- normalizing their degeneracy.
