Reflective Journal 2 In Week 3 we start with Module 2. For this Module you need to reflect on the Organisation’s Culture and how that links to the strategic goals of the organisation. When completing your journal reflection, be sure to carefully reflect on how these topics apply to your workplace, for instance: · the visible and invisible values of your workplace Recommendation: Read the Samson & Daft (2015) resource and find application in your organisation; clearly identify examples of both visible and invisible values form your organisation. · note some examples of your organisation’s use of stories, heroes, slogans and ceremonies Recommendation: Read the Samson & Daft (2015) resource and find application in your organisation; give examples of these elements for the place where you work. · the organisation’s type of culture Recommendation: Read the Samson & Daft (2015) resource and find application in your organisation; clearly identify which culture of the four your organisation or department or team falls in and why you say so. Also, the Cole (2016) source can be applied to evaluate whether your organisation can be considered to be a learning culture. The Samson & daft (2015) resource also explains the relationship between culture and performance – it would be good to evaluate your organisation against this grid. · how you fit into this culture etc. Be sure to  reflect on whether and how well you fit into this culture, whether you share the values of the organisation’s culture and motivate why you say so.   Notes:   · It is important to carefully study the Learning Resources before you complete your reflection. ·  Be sure to apply the theory directly to your workplace and to diligently reference your work. · Try to use the correct terminology and academic language used in the readings when discussing the components.

Reflective 3   For this Module you need to reflect on the Communication in the Organisation and apply the theory and principles we looked at in the content for this Module. When completing your journal reflection, be sure to carefully reflect on how these topics apply to your workplace, and yourself. I have made some recommendations below on the resources you may want to apply for each of the discussion topics for this module.   · The communication channels engaged by the organisation and its effectiveness Recommendation: Use the Samson & Daft (2015) resource provided in the Module’s learning resources and find information in your workplace for the three business channels and evaluate whether the organisation uses these channels effectively. · Identification of company communication barriers and its solutions Recommendation: Use the Cole (2016) resource to find application for the communication process, the communication barriers present in your organisation and with solutions on overcoming those barriers. · The role of body language in the specific work environment Recommendation: Use the Mind Tools. (2017) resource to investigate what body language is, the Cole (2016) resource also includes very useful information on this topic. · Analyses of the workplace’s intercultural communication Recommendation: The Molinsky (2013) video includes good application for reflection on our own comfort zone and the new culture’s zone of appropriateness. · And how well you yourself are communicating and learning etc. Don’t forget to reflect on your own communication in the organisation, you can incorporate your own role and performance in most of these topics above. This is an important element and part of your grade.   Important Notes:   · It is important to carefully study the Learning Resources before you complete your reflection. · Incorporate examples from your workplace to support your reflection. · Be sure to apply the studied theory/principles/ideas directly to your workplace and to diligently reference your work. It has to be clear form your reflection that you have used the sources we studied to inform your analyses and conclusions. · Try to use the correct terminology and academic language used in the readings when discussing the components.
