Case 1 -Chapter 3
Feedback on the presentation:
Bribery was the main topic they discussed, whether it is illegal or not in
some countries, how it first started, and if it is still happening right now.
Examples of bribery are provided with overview information which is an
interesting part. They have comprehensive understanding about the topic,
relevant example and extension to fully cover the case study. Presentation slides
format are simple, however, we think that there should be more content on the
slide. In contrast, the group uses many images to describe the content presented
quite vividly. On the other hand, speakers still have to use assistive devices
during the presentation. Moreover, it prevents the presentation from achieving
as much interaction with the audience as it really needs.

Feedback on the debate team:
The questions posed in the article also reflect many issues related to
corruption, which is extremely painful and unresolved in the society. However,

the debate group still made many mistakes in giving opinions when they did not
really follow the content of the presentation group and give really appropriate
answers to the questions. Otherwise, the discussion group expanded the topic by
posing practical questions, but the presenting group failed to adequately address
the concerns stated. Additionally, they simply offer general advice without
providing any details , such as that the government should take steps to avoid
bribery rather than going straight to the issues of penalties because it wouldn’t
reflect the truth. Group 1 is right with the ideas but they are incapable of quickly
responding when the debaters inquire about a subject that is not outside their
ability to comprehend.
Things we learn about the presentation:
On the basis of case 1 from chapter 3, we can recognize that bribery is
illegal, many countries still do it for their own benefits. Although many
measures and judgments are in place to expose and deter the forces, the current
status of bribery and corruption still exists so that it can be thoroughly resolved.
Only some of the cases have been brought to light, there still are hundreds of
cases happening everyday under the OECD nose. As the text and the group


mention, Greece is the representative case out of all, they pour massive amounts
of money only to bribery alone, as well as other big companies like Samsung,
Alcatel-Lucent. Globally, laws are imposed to prevent bribery but it doesn’t
help much as these actions are still constantly happening in every country.
Therefore, we need to clearly define the negative effects of bribery that have a
detrimental influence on the market economy and result in issues with inflation
or unemployment. Additionally, in order to avoid corruption, the government
must implement policies that are not just deterrents but also very tough and
forceful in order to prevent the growth of corrupt practices among people in
positions of authority or high status. It will lead to the emergence of a
democratic, just, and free society in one nation.


Case 2 -Chapter 3
Feedback on the presentation:
In the presentation, group 4 showed accurate problems that the company
of analytics and business intelligence software solutions in the US are facing
when they started to expand the marketplace and received high revenue from
international markets. After understanding carefully about these difficulties, the
manager needs to come up with a strategy to face challenges revolving around
his plan. Thankfully,group 4 helps us to know the advantages and disadvantages
of the solution that the executive should spend time in international offices.
Additionally, they also pointed out how the company can prepare for the
cultural differences they will encounter. Not only the content of case 2 chapter 3
was explained clearly but also the way they contacted the lecture was flexible,
and did not keep their eyes glued to smartphones to read transcripts. There are
many things that make group 4 different from the rest and attract audiences to
listen to their presentation. Firstly, presenting information clearly and
effectively is a key skill in getting team messages across.Secondly,many
practical , interesting examples video which is easy to approach the core values
of case , helps other groups gain the knowledge in the best way. Finally, they
prepared slides carefully, many videos to illustrate problems (Coca-cola
beverages).
Nevertheless, in slides 2 and 3, the present group clearly introduced the
advantages and disadvantages but did not provide enough of those so that the


other debate teams could ask more questions related to them. On top of that,
despite the fact that the coca-cola video was a really informative and
outstanding example for the presentation, the video was longer than needed.
Therefore, it consumed the amount of time that was supposed to be used for
other activities.


Our feedback on the debate team:
The debate team had some good questions that indicated directly the
issues of the case problems. An example was “ At the starting point, when a
company wants to staff an office in another country, one of the challenges it will
face is discrimination. How can it overcome this difficulty at the beginning to
operate and maintain the business?” .However, the presenters did not complete
their answers when debating the above question. To be more specific, they just
provided a few general solutions like “ learning about the cultures, marketplaces
,...” without enough satisfactory and specific actions. When debating,
sometimes group 4 could not stand solidly with their mentioned ideas and they
were a little bit confused to deal with the questions.
Things we have learned:
After case 2 of chapter 3 was presented and debated, we understood the
importance of managing culture and people when they expand market areas.
Thanks to knowledge about the vision, solution, strategy of the executive about
the problems , the way to encounter international markets and manage their staff
in different countries effectively. It is a worthy lesson about how to identify
challenges in the culturally diverse workplace, form a global mindset, adapt to
a new culture, and organize a huge multinational company with connecting
relationships between staff and clients. Moreover, the case also educated us how
to put ourselves in others' shoes. In other words, we learnt from CEO Christian
Chabot that he spent time away from home to understand that how disconnected
the staffs may feel when working for an international company and the fact that
he spent a year away from the home office emphasized his belief that locations
beyond Seattle ( headquarters) are important for the company’s success as well.
Finally, we can improve our style of presentation through creative, energetic
presentations which are close to our daily life, easy to reach and share team
opinions with audiences.
