Macau is also characterized with narrow alleyways forming a maze of ancient section that harbor a lot of business enterprises and work (Redding & Bruce, 78-167). Moreover, the city has statue commonly known as Bodhisatta Avalokitesvara situated near the sea Sands Casino and MGM Grand. Macau also acts as Chinese deity that is design similar to those find in Europe. Entering of the company into the foreign market demands staffing which is fundamental issue for its prosperity (Holden, 56-145).
The Caesars Entertainment Corporation decided to send expatriates to Macau city, china because Macau is the world’s biggest casino market with largest revenue gambling than the known Las Vegas strip. Moreover, the city depends heavily on the mainland Chinese tourist. Thus, expatriates would assist in handling the diverse clients within the Macau by comprehending the Chinese customers’ preferences at the expense of the corresponding foreign rivals. Moreover, expatriates would aid to combat the stiff competition from the rival companies within the Macau. Expatriates possessed deep understanding of the Caesars Entertainment Corporation’s core values and the corresponding capability to disseminate them to the China workers in a distinct and meaningful means (Holden, 56-145). Numerous challenges that encompass both personal and professional are normally involves in the foreign assignment thus require high level degree of mental toughness.
There exist a robust correlation amidst the cultures and the nations. Thus, cultural differences across the states are important and ought not to be underestimated (Primecz et al, 148-289). Expatriates will be confronted with challenges of the cultural differences in regard to the management of the corporation in the foreign country (Holden, 56-145). The problem that they will encounter revolves around the high setting and corresponding low context cultures. Within the high context cultures, the expatriates thus they will face challenges in interpretation of the messages that mainly rely on the contextual cues such as in China (Redding & Bruce, 78-167).
Moreover, populace in Macau is monochromic individuals that are mainly structured in their own approach thus carried out duties in regard to their organized agenda hence are prompt and time keepers. Conversely, Macua city also harbor polychronic populace that undertakes duties once and are normally less organized and less prompt. Expatriates will have problems in handling people of both monochromic and polychronic (Holden, 56-145). This is because monochronic time cultures are normally low context cultures whilst polychronic time cultures individuals are lofty context cultures.
China as a country is general characterized by flexibility, creativity and entrepreneurship. Conversely,Macau city characterized with attractions and oozing atmosphere with fusion amidst European and Chinese cultures (Primecz et al, 148-289). Macau city possess dual cultures namely the monochromic and polychronic who operates differently.
