The first critical organizational behavior The first critical organizational behavior (OB) issue illustrated in the case study is the work ethic of the employees working in an office situated in Peru that is reflected in their perceived lack of responsibility, which is a man-management problem. The understanding of work ethic and organizational goals that the manager of the company Frank Knight and his employees have differed, since from his perspective, this branch is not performing well. Additionally, the issue of understanding diversity and difference between business practices in the United States and South America exist, since Frank is unsatisfied with his employees being late for work, leaving early, and having a two-hour break. Hence, man-management and diversity of business cultures are the primary issues displayed in this case study. The mentioned issues The mentioned issues are connected to the key concepts of OB management since man-management in the globalized world has become complex. The contemporary globalized society means that executives should be ready to operate in different parts of the world and understand the specifics of different cultures, which is reflected in how people in a specific area approach work.

The merit of this recommendation is in the fact that Knight will be able to approach any subsequent issue with the global perspective, meaning that he will understand the context of events better by improving his managerial skills. This approach will address the issue by enhancing Knight’s understanding regarding the reasons why his employees adhere to specific behavior standards. The second issue can be addressed by replacing Frank Knight with either a local manager or with a manager, familiar with the South American culture.

An executive or corporate level intervention An executive or corporate level intervention is to implement a training program for executives to address the diversity management issue. This program should focus on diversity and management of people in global environments, and incorporate the informa
