TOPIC: MANAGEMENT AND CULTURE

Search for a research study regarding CULTURE's influence in educational
organizations. Attached the link of the research study in your output. Then
write a reflection paper containing the following:

1. Objectives of the study

A casual visitor to the Philippines may quickly conclude that the society
is thoroughly westernized in manner and attitude. Since nothing could
be farther from the truth, anyone dealing with Filipinos in business or
otherwise needs to be familiar with the complex value system that
intertwines the indigenous Filipino, Chinese, Spanish and American
cultures. Looking beneath the veneer of societal openness and cultural
flexibility, there is a uniquely Filipino way of acting in most situations. As
seemingly simple behaviors are essentially complicated in intent, an
appreciation of the Filipino nature is basic to any understanding of
management in the only Christian, English-speaking democracy in Asia.

2. Results and Conclusion of the study

The future development of Filipino management cannot be readily

foreseen. The wave of rapid globalization will not stop at the shores of the
Philippines, and the influx of world-wide changes will eventually
influence the nature of Filipino business and management. Coinciding
with the opening of markets, deregulation of trade was initiated by ex-
President Ramos and is vigorously pursued by President Arroyo. In the
highly competitive environment, exacerbated by the entry of the People’s
Republic of China into the World Trade Organization, survival of the
economy requires that the conduct of business assumes an international
perspective and acquire cross-cultural sensibility.

3. What are the implications of the results?

Among Filipinos, the personal is a crucial element of most work

situations. Managers are expected to maintain reciprocity with their
subordinates, based on the exchange of personal loyalties and mutual
obligations. Social relationships have to be established before work can
commence, deals can made, and business can prosper. Furthermore,
actions at work are not separated from the person who is performing
them, intermingling the objective with the subjective and the formal with
the informal. Impartial business decisions that are unfavorable to an
individual can easily be regarded as a biased personal attack. In
 summary, the Filipinos’ laudable humanistic and moralistic orientation
can become detrimental, as comprehensive rational management may be
reduced to excessively narrow–minded personalistic interaction.

4. Are the recommendations applicable to your context? In what way?

The recommendations are applicable to our context. In my place as a

Filipino teacher, we are the manager in our classroom, as a manager it is
very true that we need to maintain reciprocity with our subordinates,
pupils as well based on the exchange of personal loyalties and mutual
obligations. Social relationships have to be established before work can
commence, deals can made, and business can prosper. We are very
careful especially in dealing with people around us, even in our face book
or other social media flatforms we need to maintain good moral value in
community, friends, relatives and more.
