Comment on Company Culture Across Borders by Questar

Great point Brian! While companies do want to keep consistent in their practices across various locations they also need to be courteous to culture sensitive customs that differ from one country to the next. Your question is certainly interesting but also difficult because there is no one answer. There are so many variables to factor in when making management decisions that it is impossible to have one cookie cutter way of running a business.

Have you had a time in particular when you’ve needed to have a difference in culture because of the location of one of your offices?

Great advice! I think one of the most difficult things to understand and plan around is actually the fact that there sometimes NEED to be differences in culture from one location to another. Whether it is a result of local customs, viewpoints, or other geographic cultural considerations, sometimes the same culture will not work from one place to another.

So how do manage your company from one location to another, and to what extent can you try to remain consistent culturally from one location to the next? I don’t have the answers, but it is definitely an interesting thing to think about.

Comment on The “Dirty Work” of Fast Food by Bryan Carl

Our Country needs to re prioritize our wages. $7 to $9 is not live able. Between 800 and 1000 a month will barely get you your own apartment. These people making 100,000 or more a year need to remember who feeds them when they “drive through” and tip them, or something. I make 40K and tip when the food is good. But, Really, In the end we need to re-prioritize the pay system. Big time.

Comment on How smart phones are changing the way we interact with our favorite stores by SecretShopperNationwide

I was just having a conversation today with an elderly friend (87 yo) who said technology that he has seen has been tremendous, but, “I don’t see how it will get much more advanced than what I’ve seen; from having to go to the neighbor’s house to use their phone because we didn’t have one to these kids who text all the time.” I said, “I think you’re wrong. Ten years from now, what we will have will make today’s advances seem like horse and buggy.” This article is just scratching the surface (IMHO) of what we’ll witness through the next decade. Good job, Beth.
