Integration is almost like the welcoming into a new culture and country, adaptation is important to integrate with others.

("Systems integration," 2009)

Discuss a successful psychological contract- it is an agreement where an individual and a business or organization discusses what is expected between them. They would discuss topics like how to manage stress of socialization, anticipatory socialization, encounter phase, change and acquisition phase, ease the transition through individual and organizational actions.

Explain how easy it is for Colombian companies  to employ expatriates locally? Give examples. 

The easiness on employing expatriates depends on the qualifications. But overall it is easy because Colombia welcomes people of every nationality and Colombia likes to hear ideas from people that have lived outside the country.

Merging Organizational Culture

“Organizational culture is the basic pattern of

shared assumptions, values, and beliefs considered to be the correct way of thinking about and acting on problems and opportunities facing the organization. It defines what is important and unimportant in the company”.

(2010). The EU integration process - Part One of Two[Theater]. Available from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMvIfE8xPw0

(Henze)

Merger Strategy.

Assimilation: is acquired company embraces acquiring firm’s culture.  Works best when acquired firm has a weak culture.

                                                   ("Monumenta," 2011)

Deculturation: Acquainting firm imposes its culture on unwilling acquired firm.  Works best when rarely works-may be necessary only when acquired firms culture doesn't work out employees don’t realize it.


("Ditamic," 2007)

Integration: Combining two or more cultures into a new composite culture.  Works best when existing cultures can be improved.

Separation: Merging companies remain 

distinct entities with minimal exchange of culture or organizational practices.  Works best when firms operate successfully in different businesses requiring different cultures.

According to the case studies (in class and in textbook), what are the practical steps to minimize the feelings of uncertainty normally expected by employees, and also to facilitate the learning process to occur between the two groups of people in their process of cultural and behavioral integration?

First step are incentives, in order to obtain something we want from some one, we follow and wish to know what type of behavior we expect they are going to have in order to receive what we want.

Second is Deviation, if you think or see a person acting in a way that you don’t approve of towards expectations or society norms, you began to monitor more closely to analyze their behavior.  This way we know what we are dealing with, the ability to predict others behavior by analyzing their actions.

Last step is Future Interaction, the odds of a future interaction with others, grows depending on how close we supervise their behavior.

                                                       (Churchill, 2011)                        
People with knowledge have the gift of having power, a tot of information, and know how to deal with many situations in life, and inside an organization. 
                     

 ("Development in a," 2010)

Knowledge comes together with how the world behaves today, this globalized world which travels in high speed will not wait for those who stay behind  and are not ready for new and different things.

("Let's share our," 2010)

People learn and gain knowledge in different ways, first in order to learn, people have to be open minded, know that what they think they know, may be changed or that in other cultures things are done in a different way; reading and being updated also helps to make what you know grow, paying attention to what is around you, such as being aware of examples that happened to other you can learn from it and not go trough the same situation.

Setting Goals in your life or currier makes you know where you’re heading, by being aware what you have to do and know in order to get there; as soon as you get there the most important thing is to know how to maintain and keep in track the goal you reached.

Erick, (2007). Knowledge is Power [Web]. Available from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4GbnzHcYfo&feature=related

What is the relationship between organizational learning and individual satisfaction?

Organizational learning comes with self satisfaction; this is because the growth of an organization is accomplished by individuals who once in each past, had goals, so when you learn and apply it in life it is satisfaction.

Life offers every day multiple choices on letting you decide what path to take; you are going to have to face tuff decisions all the long road of life and it depends on only yourself to make the right choice, obviously no one makes a bad decision at the time because If you knew it was bad you would not take it, so every one makes decisions and after they actually happen you can find out if they where a good or bad choice.

(Decision-making at the workplace)

(Neuromercadeo)

 When making a decision it is important to recognize the problem first, to see what you are dealing with and the when the need of making a decision is going to be necessary, then make sure that you know and identify purpose of the decision you have in mind, search and find out information of the situation you are facing yourself with, make sure you have into account all the decision you can make in mind in order to select the best one, after you have selected the decision make it work and do anything you can to make it go the way you had it planed, it helps if you get advice specially if you find someone who has experience, and then give it all your best to get there with the chosen decision. (Simon)

When making a decision, people take into account values, ethics, morals and culture; everything depend on how strong each one of them are, that will make your decision to be influence by.

Identifying the ethical problems in an organization and evaluating everything that comes with it such as consequences of the actions.

How can organizations effectively manage both risk taking and escalation of commitment in the decision-making behavior of employees?

Both in risk taking and in escalation of commitment inside decision making behavior have uncertainty when it come to making decision, and when the risk is higher, the more profit you get. The risk is always going to be inside everything, you just have to be prepared and have backup to confront it, this is why it come in handy having psychologists and human resources, to help you deal with employees and everything that comes with behavior, ethical, and values.
