4. Different business cultures around the world.
With globalization meaning a vast range of companies are increasingly active internationally, the need for a greater understanding of different cultures is essential to building good relationships - both with other businesses and between employees within your own.
Types of Business Culture:
Business Culture and Time Management:
Relating to context is a culture's perception of time. "Low-context cultures, such as that of the United States, tend to run on monochromic time while high-context cultures, such as that of Mexico, tend to run on polychromic time." The difference is the way different cultures tend to operate.Monochromic cultures tend to operate in an "ordered, precise, and schedule-driven" manner whereas polychromic cultures tend to operate in "multiple and cyclical activities" and with "concurrent involvement with different people."
Cultural Tolerance for Individualism:
Furthermore different cultures can be separated into two additional distinctions, individualistic cultures and collectivist cultures. These two distinctions really are the two ends of a sliding scale of a cultures tolerance for individualism. Obviously an individualistic culture values "individual freedom and choice" and a collectivist culture values people who "subordinate their own wishes and goals to those of the relevant social unit." In reality each culture falls differently on this scale; each culture falls closer to one extreme or the other and this is one element to culture that takes the most getting used to on a personal and business level. Business cultural differences can make the difference to management in retaining customers via their permission based marketing plans.
The main thing I took from this experience is that business cultures from around the world are all different and the business motivation of their people is different too. Regardless of what I believe in my own country it is worth learning about the cultural differences of business and people from around the globe.

7. Applying for a Job.
When you apply for a job, you’ll generally be asked to send in your CV/résumé, together with a letter or email of application. A CV or résumé is a brief account of your previous employment, education, and qualifications.
Employers often receive hundreds of applications for a job, so it’s very important to make sure that your CV/résumé and job application letter create the right impression and present your personal information in a focused, well-structured, and attractive way.
The purpose of a job application letter is to get an interview. If you get a job through interviews arranged by your campus placement office or through contacts, you may not need to write a letter. However if you want to work for an organization that isn’t interviewing on campus, or later when you change jobs, you will. Writing a letter is also a good preparation for a job interview, since the letter is your first step in showing a specific company what you can do for it.
In a letter of application you should:
- Address the letter to a specific person.
- Indicate the specific position for which you are applying.
- Be specific about your qualifications.
- Show what separates you from other applicants.
- Show knowledge of the company and the position.
- Refer to you resume (which you would enclose with the letter).
- Ask for an interview.

10. At the Company Office. Organizational Structure.
Every organization, to be effective, must have an organizational structure. But what is an organizational structure? It is the form of structure that determines the hierarchy and the reporting structure in the organization. It is also called organizational chart. There are different types of organization structures that companies follow depending upon a variety of things; it can be based on geographical regions, products or hierarchy.
There are different types of organizational structures and a company should choose the one that best suits their needs.
These are the structures that are based on functional division and departments. They are characterized by having precise authority lines for all levels in the management. Various types of structures under traditional structures are:
•Line Structure - This is the kind of structure that has a very specific line of command. The approvals and orders in this kind of structure come from top to bottom in a line, hence the name line structure. This kind of structure is suitable for smaller organizations like small accounting firms and law offices.
•Line and Staff Structure - Though line structure is suitable for most organizations, especially small ones, it is not effective for larger companies.
•Functional Structure - This kind of organizational structure classifies people according to the function they perform in their professional life or according to the functions performed by them in the organization. The organization chart for a functional organization consists of Vice President, Sales department, Customer Service Department, Engineering or production department, Accounting department and Administrative department.
Following are some other types of organizational structures that deserve a worthy mention here:
•Bureaucratic Structure - This kind of structure can be seen in tall organizations where tasks, processes and procedures are all standardized and this type of structure is suitable for huge enterprises that involve complex operations and require smooth administration of the same.
•Pre-Bureaucratic Structure - This structural form is best exemplified in flat organizations where administration and control are centralized and there is very little, if any, standardization of tasks.
•Network Structure - In this kind of structure, the organization managers are required to maintain and coördinate business/professional relations with third parties such as clients, vendors and associates in order to achieve a collective goal of profitability and growth.
•Team Structure - Organizations with team structures can have both vertical as well as horizontal process flows.
It is important to find an organizational structure that works best for the organization as the wrong set up could hamper proper functioning in the organization.
