The firm’s newest large outlet in Japan is located in Tokyo, Japan. Although the store has enormous potential, the salespeople (comprised of both Americans and Japanese) are not working together well and the negative attitudes of some team members are bringing others down and hindering team performance. Develop an employee motivation plan for this group, taking into consideration both American and Japanese motivation approaches, leadership, as well as group dynamics and communication. Consider both individual and team rewards. Also consider what the Japanese think of the Americans, and the Americans of the Japanese. Provide an introduction that explains the source of some of the issues and be sure to state the intended outcome of the plan including business results.

Concepts of Convergence Divergence and Crossvergence Using the concepts of convergence, divergence and crossvergence, explore how Starbucks can innovate through combining ‘global knowledge’ with ‘local needs’.
Concepts of Convergence Divergence and Crossvergence
Explain the concepts of convergence and divergence and back up your points with appropriate evidence from the case study
Then explore the tensions between global knowledge and local needs and how this impacts Starbucks’ approach to innovation
Guidance
Concepts of Convergence Divergence and Crossvergence Question 3:
This question asks you to use appropriate concepts and theories from Block 2, Sessions 9 and 10. Of particular relevance here are how the concepts of convergence and divergence may be applied to the situation that Starbucks currently finds itself in. Session 9 noted that globalisation has also given rise to new incentives and pressures for organisations and innovators to converge around international ‘best practices’ and diverge in response to local conditions. This tension is challenging for organisations. Using relevant evidence from the case study, your answer should explore these tensions before exploring how Starbucks may be able to innovate by combining global knowledge with local needs. The concept of crossvergence covered in Session 10 is especially relevant here.

Material Culture in Cities and Spaces Material culture and the performance of identity has been a major consideration this semester.
Material Culture in Cities and Spaces
We started to withdraw of the Middle Kingdom’s material wealth and ended in a rather contested Shanghai. How can we use material culture and performance of identity to understand Chinese civilization? What are the implications then and now? According to modern space theory, space and society
construct each other through the subject. In modern
cities, the subject exists in urban culture in way of time and space. It influences the cultural context of higher education internationalization through constructing stratified urban social space and accelerating the internationalization of higher education’s material basis.

Relate to culture conflict theory (Sellin’s theory) do not summarize the article just write about how it relates to culture conflict theory. Cultural theories of crime provide distinct frameworks to understand the influence of human agency, social forces, and peers on behavior. The dominant frameworks argue that culture is a set of values, beliefs, and actions that are learned through interactions with others. From this perspective, culture is primarily transmitted to individuals through intimate peer groups and across generations to provide support or encouragement for actions that may be unacceptable in the larger society.
The citations of references in the text should be according to APA style. A minimum of 5 references (books and articles) will be required
