INDIVIDUAL HOMEWORK Student name: Nguyễn Huỳnh Cát Tường Student code: K194081175 List all the cultural differences that Emily encountered and use the learned theory about the dimensions of culture to explain the differences ● List all the cultural differences that Emily encountered: - Language difference: Emily arrived in France as a non-French speaker and looked forward French speaking English This makes it difficult for Emily to communicate at work with her colleagues at Savoir and who support both in daily life (with the florist and the landlady) What's more, the director of social media at Savoir even ignored and didn't want to work with Emily, or a situation that two colleagues called her "La Plouc" to mean satire satirizes her as rustic - Difference in working time: From the very beginning of the day, coming to Savoir to work, Emily was at the company at am when everyone arrived at least after 10:30 to go to work In addition, company breaks are often very long, and colleagues at Savoir even gather on the roadside to eat and chat - Difference in working style: + Emily upholds the motto "live to work" and always keeps herself busy, which she believes is happy and devoted Meanwhile, Luc - a colleague at Savoir pointed out that the French value "work to live", they focus on quality, not about the amount of time + Besides, in all situations from everyday life, especially in meals or parties, Emily focuses on showing others about her achievement and always puts the topic of work in every conversation, which makes the French feel uncomfortable and annoyed At the same time, her language teacher has a strong mind about separation between work and private life When Emily invites her to go out for a meal for a close talk, she denied + In the end, Emily put the rules at Savoir and got a lot of negative feedback from her colleagues because they felt constrained and uncomfortable it, they thought that Emily doesn’t respect their “personal space” - On the first day of meeting, Emily made a bad impression on her colleague not only about her language but also about her speaking style Emily is confident and competent, but she makes herself an overreacted person when she speaks loudly and kind of talkative Besides, when meeting the famous designer - Pierre Cadault - Emily did not prepare her outfit carefully and destroyed Savoir's chances just because of the accessory that Pierre Cadault considered as "ringarde" - Difference in body language: Emily is quite confused when the French greet each other with kisses on both cheeks - The openness of love between many people in France confuses Emily (her boss and her client), and the French criticism is quite straightforward (the case of ringarde and la plouc) - Emily is always the one who comes up with new ideas in her head but most of them go unrecognized from her boss, especially the development in social media channels is ignored from the main person in charge to another in the company Moreover, Emily’s colleagues often laugh at her because she is American In addition, things are different in life habits such as: Gabriel doesn't bake a pan after frying an egg, women don't touch wine bottles on the dinner table, the French don't document customers going on a house tour her own house (at Camillie's house), calculating the floor (ground floor → first floor, ) or the French recorded the time in island order compared to the Americans as day/month causing her to fail the restaurant reservation , culture (when the model shot the commercials and when setting up Camillie) and the principle that the customer wasn't always right (Gabriel's love of beefsteak at the restaurant), frequency of smoking and drinking French mornings, all made Emily confused and feel the need to adjust herself to adapt - Use the learned theory about the dimensions of culture to explain the differences Emily Hofstede - - Masculinity: a culture in which the dominant social values are success, money and things In this case, Emily put all her heart into her work and put pressure on herself about achievement She think keeping working makes everyone happy and enjoy, With a proposal to promote, she also upholds the motto "live to work" Low uncertainty avoidance: Emily is very calm and optimistic to taking on new challenges First, in the lightning nomination, Emily France - Femininity: a culture in which the dominate social values are caring for others and the quality of life The French spend a lot of time enjoying life besides work, but this does not mean that they are lazy Contrary to Emily, they value value “Work to live” - Fairly high uncertainty avoidance: In contrast to Emily, the French avoid taking risks when implementing new ideas Specifically, with most of the initiatives that Emily came to work in Paris with confidence without preparation In addition, she always comes up with groundbreaking initiatives and is always ready to carry on - Trompenaar s Low power distance : Emily is very open - minded and comfortable while sharing her work with her boss, and Emily often makes her own decisions about what she will for Savoir, that prove that she comes from a low power distance organization - where decision is decentralized and just a little distance between boss and staff - Diffuse: individuals have a large public space shared with others and a small private space they guard closely and share only with close friends and associates Emily often does not hesitate to show her experience and achievements in the first meeting Even in meetings, parties or watching plays, Emily always wants to contact and seize the opportunity to impress potential partners - Achievement: status is accorded based on how well people perform their functions Emily is very confident about her past achievements and has a deep understanding of marketing She knows both the data from her past achievements and believes that offers, the boss is often distrustful and does not care too much, or even when Emily come up with an idea to hold the deal with the designer- Pierre Cadault, Luc didn't even listen to whole sentence and left because he thought it wouldn't help - High power distance: At Savoir, the power of the boss is very high, every employee dares not to interfere in the argument between Sylvie and Antoine - except for Emily Besides, almost decisions at Savoir is made by Sylvie, therefore, she quite annoyed with Emily's appearance - Specific: individuals have a large public space shared with others and a small private space they guard closely and share only with close friends and associates French strongly separate their work and their private life That's why the French generally don't like to talk about business at parties and meals,furthermore, they respect individual rights in the workplace, so with the rules that Emily laid out, the staff at Savoir had reacted quite negatively - Ascription: status is based on who or what a person is Emily's French colleagues don't look at Emily's background to appreciate her No matter how brilliant it will score in the eyes of her partner Emily was in the past, in Savoir she was American, and Americans in the eyes of the French in Savoir were not very nice Meanwhile, someone with seniority in Savoir like Sylve usually gets a very high level of trust However, both have one thing in common: Emotional culture For Emily, it was loud, clear, and enthusiastic intonation For colleagues at Savoir, it is the frankness of praise and criticism in front of others To what extent you agree with the cultural differences showed in the movie? I agree with all except that the film overdoes and distorts a few French cultures such as: - Smoking: The French smoke a lot but they don't smoke in the office and don't smoke as much as the movie shows like Sylve is smoking most of the time - Working hours in the movie are shown as 10:30, even later (Sylve arrives at the company at 11:15) that makes the French kind of lazy But in reality, working hours in France usually start from to 9:30 and they work really hard - Although the French seem stonyhearted and tough, they are unlikely to rudely and unkindly bully or discriminate against a new employee, even an employee from another country - Ideology of adultery: French romance and openness are transformed into vulgarity and adultery as an inevitable trend, however, adultery is an individual choice and not every modern French accepts that - Most French are not good at English, so every character around Emily who can speak English seems to be a dream situation ... however, adultery is an individual choice and not every modern French accepts that - Most French are not good at English, so every character around Emily who can speak English seems to be a dream... she comes from a low power distance organization - where decision is decentralized and just a little distance between boss and staff - Diffuse: individuals have a large public space shared with... between Sylvie and Antoine - except for Emily Besides, almost decisions at Savoir is made by Sylvie, therefore, she quite annoyed with Emily's appearance - Specific: individuals have a large public
