7. Describe a time when you worked on a project that required you to liaise   with a wide variety of people. You can use an example from paid employment or   from schoolwork.

Ans- The first time when I liaise with a wide variety of people was when I was in 2nd year of my graduation. A blood donation camp which was organized in our college. I with my team made all preparations such as sanitation, arrangement of beds. Many people have participated in the camp. It was the first live project and we managed very sincerely and performed every task and duties which was allotted to us.

a) What was the work and what specifically was your contribution?

Ans- I was the co coordinator of the camp. I made 2 teams and allotted task to every individual volunteer. 1st team was discipline team which was sending people in order and outsourcing with providers and staff . 2nd team was food team which was providing the refreshments.

d) Using Neo-Institutional Theory, explain why managing workloads   and time management in a group can be so difficult, especially in the   Canadian multi-cultural work world.

Ans- The Neo-Institutional theory helps to understand organizational behavior as situated in and influenced by other organizations and wider social forces—especially broader cultural rules and beliefs. It assumes a greater influence on human behaviour coming from the socio-political environment surrounding people and organizations than from within individual or group based interactions. One fifth of Canadian are foreign born and they have positive opinion of immigration. Canadian multicultural values towards the society which integrates newcomers through generosity and sincerity to its values and principles. We could not conclude that workloads and time management wil be difficult here in Canada.
