due perhaps to the topic it addresses, the cultures it discusses, or the industry it addresses. I would like for you to compose a short, 2-3 page summary of the article, imagining that you were going to present an overview of the article and its findings to a superior in a meeting.
If you are not happy with my selection and would like to choose another article, by all means do so! Did you read a cool story in the New York Times recently that youd like to talk about? Yes!
Consider addressing:
What are the cultures being discussed in the article, and how would you characterize them according to some of the dimensions of cultural variance discussed in lecture and in the readings?
What was the business venture being discussed in the article? What was the (cross-)cultural element of this venture?
To what degree was the business successful or not? Specifically, how did culture impact this success or failure?
Were there any specific, concrete steps that the business took with respect to cross-cultural communication that might serve as interesting examples of what to do or not to do?
What recommendations can you learn from the reading or come up with on your own that either did improve the situation described in the reading (if it went well) or could have improved it (if it did not)?
In what specific ways was this applied or could it be applied (policies, practices, structure changes, incentives, etc.)? Did or would others still remain?

The topic is”How can Zipline expand into the US market while maintaining their customer oriented nature and strong ESG morals?”
In the ppt you can see that there are 3 points: General, Industry, Conpediter.
In this essay,just use the General, and Conpediter points to analyse the topic (there’re also three points in conpediter).
You can find other materials to finish this assignment.
(this essay do not need infor and conclusion, cause it’s just a part of a long report).

In The Manhole

The ABC Telephone Company provides local telephone service for a large area of the U.S. While many of its lines are mounted on poles, an increasing number of lines are being placed underground. Although it costs more initially to go underground, repair and maintenance costs are much less.

Typically, when telephone lines are buried, they are adjacent to other underground facilities, such as, gas, sewer, and electric power. Access to all these facilities is through manholes which may be 6 20 feet in depth. Sewer lines often emit methane gas which can seep through the soil and is poisonous. Accordingly, the companies providing and maintaining these services have scheduled two technicians to work together. Whenever one was required to go into a manhole, the other could be above ground and adjacent to the manhole.

There have been cases where the person in the manhole has become faint or sick in the stomach, but no cases of death or lasting injury.

New technology was developed and tested that transferred air from the manholes to the atmosphere and returned fresh air. The machine included a monitor which would show the level of methane gas in the immediate vicinity and would sound an audible alarm if gas levels reached a certain level.

The ABC Telephone Company and the power and gas companies purchased a number of these machines, trained their technicians to use them, and began assigning manhole work to individuals working alone. The union filed a grievance claiming that two people were required for this type of work. The company disagreed and the grievance went to arbitration.
