Statement of Purpose on Reflective Report on e-portfolio

        I have learned from this study the managers must be aware of their personal bias when hiring new employees. From this study, I learnt that, as a manager, I need to question my hiring decisions to make sure I employ a diverse range of people.

        The process of the dealing and controlling things and people in effective ways is considered as the management. The absent of the management makes organization structure messier and UN arranged then productivity of the organization will be declined. Few of the attributes are required for the mangers must be effective in organization as;

The purpose and task must be clear

Having good organizational skills

Good delegation skills

The ability for communicating task

The ability to negotiate various administrative

        The above discussed artifact has addressed the key functions of the mangers. Managers are requiring to ensure and manage diversity in the organization as diversity can bring performance improvement. Diversity incudes age, ethnicity, and culture differences in the workforce. Diversity can result in increase conflict if not managed properly (Lecture 3: The Environment of Diversity). Basically, in the past business was limited to the local markets only therefore managers were not responsible to increase diversity and cross-cultural relations. Somehow, now diversity is getting common in the organizations as managers are interested to create competitive edge in the competitive market through diverse workforce.    Managers are require to develop cultural intelligence in order to ensure cultural metacognition and cross-cultural skills. Digital technologies support cross-cultural communication and thus managers can communicate with their employees in other countries (Lecture 4: The Challenges of Managerial Communication). Moreover, management also includes creative problem solving by organizing, coordinating, controlling, planning, and commanding (Lecture 7: Leading to build trust in a global context).
