EFFECTING 온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드 MANAGEMENT: A REALITY WITH THE LINGHE SIMULATION?

With China's business environment undergoing fast and significant 온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드, managers now need to be more effective than ever in implementing 온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드 within their organizations.
But just how effective are they? According to Albert A. Angehrn, INSEAD Professor of Information Technology and Director of the Centre for Advanced Learning Technologies, the truth is that the vast majority of 온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드 projects in organizations fail, some miserably. Failure in this case, he says, means that performance targets are not achieved, as new ways of operating are not integrated and adopted to the extent that would allow organizations to profit from them.
While there's no lack of knowledge as to how to address 온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드 initiatives, Angehrn says we have not been successful in translating that knowledge into practice. We simply don't know how to move from the relatively comfortable area of knowing to one of actually doing.
This is further compounded with Chinese managers operating in China. China's policy of economic reform has opened her markets to foreign trade and investment. The resulting increase in collaboration between Chinese and foreign managers has brought an interesting new dimension to learning how effectively to introduce innovation -- and 온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드 -- in culturally-mixed environments.
Chinese managers today are facing 온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드 on a scale and at a pace that have previously been unseen, and for which there exists little or no relevant past experience. Western managers are not exempt either, as they too need to adapt their managerial styles to better suit the Chinese context and environment.
Enter the LingHe Simulation, a computer-based interactive multimedia simulation that models the dynamics of organizational 온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드 in a typical Chinese business environment. Its purpose: to simulate real-life scenarios faced by Chinese and foreign managers who want, or need, to implement organizational 온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드 at China Inc.
Modeled after the Executive Information System 온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드, which has already been used extensively as a learning tool in MBA and corporate management training program in Western organizations, LingHe is unique in that it is tailor-made for the China market. More specifically, it is aimed at those responsible for introducing and implementing knowledge and innovation strategies in China, including CEOs, CIOs, general and project managers, heads of departments and other key decision makers.
To authenticate the simulation, a framework for the company was constructed. Angehrn and his partners invented a fictitious business enterprise called the LingHe Company (LHC), a switching equipment manufacturer located in Changsha, the capital of Hunan province. The intention was to portray a company that was still relatively remote from Western influence, based in a region with a moderate pace of economic 온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드 so that the need for further 온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드 was not felt very strongly. The description of the company as moderately profitable further reduced any urgency to 온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드.
However, a twist of fate saw LHC being sold to SinoCom, China's largest national telecom operator. The move was intended to induce LHC to adopt managerial best practices and to consolidate the national telecom industry in the face of foreign compet온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드ion. An employee from SinoCom has been dispatched to help LHC executives adopt 온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드s highly-regarded computer-based performance management system. An uphill task no less, especially when computer l온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드eracy, prof온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드abil온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드y and personal objectives are not yet standard operating procedures at LHC.
A critical component of the challenge is the influence tactics or initiatives that managers choose to convince the people in an organization during the process of adopting proposed 온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드s.
Though the 온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드 provides immediate feedback (positive, neutral or negative) following each decision taken, this unorthodox approach is not without its detractors. Angehrn notes some initial resistance by Chinese managers in particular, because the 온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드 does not correspond with traditional Chinese methods. His research has also revealed that people in higher positions were less willing to "play" along, as they would rather not fail in front of their subordinates. Most however, he says, gradually warmed to the "game" dimension, where making mistakes is permissible and even intended.
"Now this approach is clearly exposing the individual, which in my belief is key for learning," says Angehrn. "If people are not put at their limit of their incompetence and realize that they can fail, they have no motivation to really learn. We try to advocate that it is only through failure that we can learn something. For instance, only through a simulation as LingHe, can managers fully realize that much of the resistance faced when implementing 온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드 is actually the indirect result of their own way of proceeding. Ultimately, they themselves are the ones generating the very resistance that kills their projects. It's a very important insight that can only be fully understood through experiential learning approaches as the LingHe Simulation."
By and large, 온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드s can trump traditional learning tools and techniques, such as lectures, or even participating in short role-playing exercises, as they can capture a significantly higher level of complexity and create a life-like experience in a risk-free environment.
For example, of the 19 listed 온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드 tactics, the task force tactic, which is often used in Western companies to engage selected individuals from within the organization as 온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드 agents, did not receive strong backing from the participating Chinese managers. This indicates that Chinese managers would not be active in appointing 온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드 agents or in wishing to be appointed to perform that role.
Similarly, the management training tactic is not used by Chinese managers, whereas 온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드 is widely used by Western managers.
The electronic mail tactic, broadly used by Western managers, is also not popular w온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드h Chinese managers, who do not have the hab온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드 of checking their e-mail frequently and are inclined to use trad온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드ional communication tools.
While the overall evaluation of the LingHe Simulation among groups of Chinese managers has consistently shown positive feedback regarding its realism, Angehrn says more substantive testing is required in order to validate further the use of the LingHe Simulation as a learning tool for Western managers who wish to introduce 온라인카지노 라이센스 벳엔드 in a Chinese environment.
