1.On page 125 the textbook presents three different managerial attitudes towards foreign operations: ethnocentric, polycentric, and geocentric. Lets correctly define each of these and identify a situation when each would be the appropriate attitude.
If you were being considered for a position in a foreign country, how could you show that you held a geocentric attitude? In this case, pretend you have never held a foreign management position and you don't speak a different language.

2.Look at the steps in the planning process beginning on page 161. The first thing I notice is that step one is to establish goals or objectives. Before we figure out how to reach our goals, we have to know what those goals are! All other managerial decisions are based on the goals or objectives of the organization. Planning always comes first.

3.Develop an example of planning in personal decision making. Perhaps you will discuss the steps as they relate to planning a family vacation, finding a new job, buying a new house, sending your child to college, or something else important to you personally. Use the steps to develop your plan and share it with us so that we may comment on it and help you improve your plan.

4.Often we don%u2019t reach our goals because we have not articulated them carefully. I remember many times when I would review an employees performance and realize I could not really comment because the stated objective did not accurately describe my expectations. Perhaps I would ask that the employee have a good attendance record. What they thought was a good attendance record and what I thought was a good attendance record turned out to be very different!

Select one of the following objectives and then use the information on establishing quality objectives to improve them:

Get a new job

Increase sales

Improve profits

Lose weight

Graduate from college
