Explanation / Answer

A1- THE CHARCTERSTICS ARE UNIFORM CODE OF EHTICS , MAINTAING UNIFORM PROCEDURES AND SAME PROBLEM SOLVING METHOD.

IE- HOW A PACKAGE HAS TO BE PICKED UP WHAT PRECAUTIONS HAS TO BE TAKEN WHILRE PACKAGING AND TRANSPORTING THE PACKAGE SHOULD BE SAME IE WHETHER A PACKAGE IS PICKED UP IN US OR INDIA SAME PROCEDURES LINE WILL BE FOLLOWED.

THIS WILL HELP IN COST SAVINGS IN TERMS OF TRAINING AN EMPLOYEE IF TRANSFFERED FROM ONE LOCATION TO OTHERS AS IN PRESENT CASE THESE CODES ARE DIFFERENT AS PER WHIMS AND FANCY OF THAT UNIT.WITH UNIVERSAL LAWS EACH AND VERY PART OF ORGANISATION IS AWARE OF WHAT IS EXPECTED OF HIM & HOW HE IS CONTRIBUTING IN THE JOB ASSIGNED TO THE COMPANY

IF LOADER KNOWS HOW TO LOAD PACKAGE IN TRUCKS ,PACKAGER KNOWS HOW TO DO PACKING OF PACKAGE, SO THEY DONOT HAVE TO REFER ANYBODY HOW A PARTICULAR JOB IS TO BE HANDLED.

SO THESE MEASURES WILL BRING UNIVERSALISATION IN TERMS OF A JOB TO BE PERFORMED. ABOVE EXAMPLES ARE JUST REFERENCES NOT CONCLUSIVE LIST FOR IMPACT.THE ORGANISATION.

A2-CULTURAL VALUES ACT AS AN IMPORTANT ROLES IN GLOBAL CONTEXT .FOR EX- IN ARAB COUNTRIES LIQUOR IS NOT ALLOWED SO AN ARABIC EMPLOYEE MAY RESIST ON TAKING LIQUOR PACKAGES SIMILARLY BEEF OR PORK ARE NOT ACCEPTED IN SOME PART OF THE WORLD. SO IN THESE CASES CULTURAL VALIUES MAY FORCE AN EMPLOYEE TO RESIST IN THESE CASES.

A3- ETHICAL LEADERSHIP IS MUST IN IMPLEMENTING THESE STRUCTURE AS LEADER HAS TO LEAD BY EXAMPLE THAT ALL INTRESTS OF EMPLOYEES ARETAKEN CARE OFF. THEY WONOT BE FORCED TO DO A WORK WHICH IS AGAINST THEIR SOCIAL OR CULTURAL VALUES,,IF IT ABSENT THEN IT MAY CREATE DISSATISFACTION AND THREAT IN EMPLOYEES ABOUT THEIR ESTABLISED SOCIO- CULTURAL VALUES . WHICH MAY PSYCOLOGICALLY FORCE THEM TO RECONSIDER THEIR JOBS ALSO.

THESE CASES ARE NOT CONCLUSIVE BUT A REFERENCE HOW AN EMPLOYEE MAY REACT IN ABSENCE OF ETHICHAL LEADERSHIP.

A4- THE KEY QUESTIONS AN EMPLOYEE MAY SEEK ON WHICH BASIS STANDARD WILL BE SET WHETHER EMPLOYEES BENEFITS AND CONCERNS ARE TAKEN CARE OFF WHILE IMPLEMETING NEW PROCEDURES ,WHETHER SOME TRAINNING WILL BE PROVIDED TO EMPLOYEES. THEIR CULTURAL AND SOCIAL MIND SET WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF OR NOT IF DUE TO THIS CHANGE SOMRE EMPLOYEE SMAY LOSE OR REALOCATED JOBS WHAT FACILITIES WILL BE PROVIDED TO THEM FOR THESE SMOOTH SHIFTING LIKE HOUSE, SCHOOLING OF EMPLOYEE KIDS INSURANCE ANDOTHER JOB RELATED CONCERNS.

THESE LIST MAY GO ON AND ON BUT ABOVE ONES MAY MAKE FOUNDATION ON THE BASIS OF WHICH NEW ORGANISATIONAL CULTURE AND STRUCTURE BE MADE..
