Huawei analyzed expanding into Canada's telecommunications market in 2008. It found that Canada had strong political and economic ties with China that supported the expansion. Canada's telecom industry faced high barriers to entry but also intense competition among major players. Huawei was well positioned due to its global operations, low costs from China, and ability to invest heavily in R&D. To further advance in Canada, Huawei proposed a joint venture with the Canadian government and a local company to spin off 5 new technology startups over 3 years, investing in R&D and infrastructure to strengthen Canada's tech industry.Huwaei Case Study - Goals and Strategies

This document provides an overview of team dysfunctions and interventions. It discusses the five main dysfunctions: absence of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability, and inattention to results. For each dysfunction, it describes common symptoms, compares dysfunctional versus functional teams, and provides an activity for teams to address the issue. The document emphasizes that effective teams embrace accountability, achieve commitment, master conflict, build trust, and focus on collective results. It encourages applying these skills to strengthen one's own teams.Overcoming Team Conflict

This document discusses strategies for building high-performing teams. It covers topics like team roles using Belbin's model, stages of team development, causes and resolution of conflict, and how to avoid issues like groupthink that can cause teams to fail. The key points are:
1. Belbin's model identifies 9 team roles that are important for success. Members should understand their own roles and strengths.
2. Teams go through forming, storming, norming, and performing stages as they develop. Managing this process is important.
3. Both functional and dysfunctional conflict can occur and should be resolved through strategies like avoiding, accommodating, compromising, or collaborating.

In this workshop, we will start with a discussion on the importance of diversity in a well balanced founding team. We will then explore how to work effectively in a team setting. We will cover how to define clear roles and responsibilities for each team member, coming up with effective decision making processes, dealing with task and interpersonal conflict and more. We will explore ways for extraverted and introverted team members to have equal contribution so everyone’s voice can be heard.

Approaches to managing conflicts include accommodating, avoiding, collaborating, competing, and compromising. The conclusion analyzes conflicts in the "Steve Jobs" film stemming from incompatible goals, scarce resources, and communication issues, and suggests finding win-win solutions through compromise.Human Dimensions of Change and Team Working

Presentation from the Productive Endoscopy Workshop, Tuesday 15th October 2013 at Ambassadors Bloomsbury , London, WC1H 0HX
This meeting brought together teams from around the country, and embarked on creating and testing the productive endoscopy toolkit. The aim of the day is to allow time with your team for sharing of experiences and exchange of good practice, learn how to apply lean techniques and hear the impact of successfully implemented case studies.Ch09

Group relationships can be understood from traditional, interpretive, and critical perspectives. The traditional perspective focuses on communication competence in groups and views groups as organizational subsystems like quality circles, focus groups, and task forces. The interpretive perspective sees groups as social constructs defined by permeable boundaries and interdependence with contexts. Groups develop norms that influence conformity and sense-making around values and decision-making. The critical perspective, like Giddens' structuration theory, sees social structures as both enabling and constraining human action in a reciprocal relationship.Neg 2019.2d

The document discusses research on skilled negotiators and how they differ from average negotiators in their planning and approach. Some key findings include: 1) Skilled negotiators take a long-term approach to planning rather than focusing on short-term issues. 2) They consider a wider range of options rather than fixating on a single outcome. 3) Skilled negotiators set flexible limits in terms of ranges rather than rigid limits.Conflict Management rev 1.pptx

The document discusses key aspects of effective teamwork and leadership. It emphasizes that a team requires (1) a common goal and vision, (2) clear roles and responsibilities for members, and (3) open communication. As a leader, it is important to plan the team structure based on goals, identify each member's strengths, set expectations, and foster trust and respect among members. Regular meetings and feedback are also vital for team success. The leader must motivate members by appealing to their needs and goals and delivering on the team's shared purpose.Leading Productive TeamsMSL 630Hall # 1The Riddle o.docx

Another essential function of leadership is encouraging team spirit. There is a saying that if you have a handful of dry grass you can use each individual blade to sweep a floor but it is much more effective to combine them into a brush. In the same way individual employees working alone, however motivated they might be, are nowhere as effective as when they work as a team.working-in-groups-student-handout-strang-2011

The document discusses types of groups, when to work in groups versus individually, characteristics of effective and ineffective groups, common group problems, identifying group values, and establishing an effective group process. There are three main types of groups discussed: informal classroom groups, formal class project groups, and long-term study groups. Effective groups have clear goals, task delegation, balanced participation, and support disagreement. Ineffective groups are dominated by some members and lack clear goals or roles.Making Meetings Better (Meeting Facilitation)
