Thanks for your collegial help!

    And climate change, corporate social responsibility (including poverty,
    ethics across borders, child labour, corporate governance), to mention a few
    as well.

    Dear Charlie, I know everyone is preaching globalization. But to what extent is it really occuring? Analysis by my colleague, Tim Kasell, here at the University of Queensland, of global trade flows suggest much more regionalism than globalism.

    Kim raises an interesting question. One that has been, and is being widely debated. It might be good to flesh out a clear definition of globalization. Currently there is widespread disagreement as to what it means to be a global corporation.

    I suggest that the topic on the meaning of work is essential, because it touches on several important aspects of management, such as motivation, job satisfaction, visining, mission statement, work climate and corporate culture.

    The poli sci people talk about a tension between the forces of
    globalization and localization (one classic text is named "Jihad vs.
    McWorld"). I think that we see the same in organizations with, often,
    globalization at the strategic level and localization at the cultural
    (esp. emotional) one.

    Dear All, Tom Friedman's popular Book."The Lexus and the Olive Tree" also pointed out the divide between Traditional societies and the wired. global woorld of commerce. In his newest book, "The earth is flat," he remarks that at Google they have a globe athat emits lights based upon the intensitgy of searches on Google. The globe was lite up in China, India, Europpe, North America, but was almost dark with resp;ect to the Middle East and Africa. The Middle East captures his ideas about the Olive Tree.

    Dear Charles,
    In response to your message, I have the following thought:

    Based in Macau, China and having the opportunity to teach international students, I am aware that they know very little about the culture, economic development and legal environment of "Far East" that include south-east Asia, China, Japan and Korea.

    Particularly in China, essential issues they should know include:
    1. economic reform;
    2. state-owned enterprise reform from the perspective of organizational change;
    3. role of mandarins -- past and present; and
    4. China's rise and fall and its awakening in the late 20th century and consequence

    Hope this will help.

    Sincerely,
    Jane Terpstra-Tong
