Module 13: Motivation, Culture, and Decision-Making


 

This week, we learned about motivational strategies and why to use different strategies with different cultures. For this discussion, focus on the country of Vietnam and the Swedish company IKEA, which established a warehouse and retail center there several years ago. 

Decide which of the motivation theories described in the chapter would be the best to use in motivating potential employees to work for IKEA in Vietnam. Then give an example of a motivational technique you would use as a manager to motivate your employees in a warehouse distribution center and a retail store. 
 

Embed course material concepts, principles, and theories, which require supporting citations along with two scholarly peer-reviewed references supporting your answer. Keep in mind that these scholarly references can be found in the Saudi Digital Library by conducting an advanced search specific to scholarly references.

Be sure to support your statements with logic and argument, citing all sources referenced. Post your initial response early and check back often to continue the discussion. Be sure to respond to your peers’ posts as well.
