    Getting to hear the speakers on the young manager panel was extremely beneficial. It was an incredible opportunity to get exposure to how it is to actually work as a young manager in the club industry. While there were a variety of things that stood out to me as I listened, one of the most prominent was the family environment that comes along with being part of a club, whether that be as a member, an employee or a manager. All the clubs strive to make their staff and members feel special and always welcome. I loved seeing how friendly the managers at Ballantyne Country Club were and how they really broke the stereotype we have been debunking in class of clubs being only aristocratic individuals, having a “superior than thou” mindset.…

    Wal-Mart’s dynamic leader, whose vision, empathy, and work ethic centered on achieving his objectives through hard work, with consideration for, and inclusion of all associates, enabled him to inspire others to work toward achieving his vision (Bergdahl, 2004). Ultimately, through the creation and maintenance of a healthy organizational culture, in which all management decisions and employee behavior align with Sam Walton’s vision and the three central values on which the organization was founded, Wal-Mart has grown to become both a cultural icon, and a neighborhood landmark; the epitome of retailing success. Walking through a store, one may hear the cheer and see the standard Wal-Mart colors and not think anything much of it. While perusing the merchandise displays, customers may not realize they are seeing the result of careful listening and planning, incorporating feedback harvested from associates and customers. Continuation of Wal-Mart’s commitment to cultural, leadership and management excellence will likely continue to set this organization apart from most others, forever altering the landscape of American…

As Ahistrom and Bruton (2009) note comprehending culture is vital to understanding the differences in business globally (p. 36). Various cultures have different management, communication, and negotiation styles that are influenced by societal values and norms.
