Q Purpose of this Assignment We will be doing other types of assignments around some of our upcoming chapters, so I will solely be asking for your golden nuggets in this discussion forum. I have been reading about your connections to each of the topics, and all of your various experiences. You have so much to teach each other, so I want to keep that going, particularly since our time in class is limited. Chapter 11 focuses on organizational culture (the part that I think is most relevant in this chapter is the section on ethnocentrism) and Chapter 12 focuses on change in an organization. Instructions READ: You'll need Chapters 11 and 12 for this assignment. WRITE: Please write ONE golden nugget for Chapter 11 (the section on ethnocentrism only) and TWO for Chapter 12. The golden nuggets are your big takeaways, key ideas, connections from your life/work experience. If you read something that reminds you of a situation that you've experienced, or, in the cases, of these chapters, if you read something that resembles a person you know, by all means, share! The goal of this assignment is to connect you to the chapter before we start working on our in-class assignment. Remember that when you write your golden nuggets, you connect ONE from Chapter 11 and TWO from Chapter 12 in bold. 2. Respond to another person's post within 24 hours for an additional five points. You will acknowledge the original poster's words and then add your own thoughts. Your responses will follow the 3CQ format: • Compliment — I like that … or Thank you for sharing ... • Comment — I agree with that, I disagree because … • Connection — I also thought … • Question — I wonder why … (Note: You can say these things however you like, but make sure you follow each of the points.)

For this week’s initial post we need to read chapters eleven and twelve, and each of the chapters is interesting as well as informative. I am going to discuss one golden nugget from chapter eleven and two golden nuggets from chapter twelve. Golden nugget 1 Chapter eleven of our textbook deals with organizational culture. This chapter has briefly explained about the culture, how culture is related to communication, different terminology of culture, etc. The golden nugget that I have found from this chapter is the concept of egocentrism (Richmond et al., 2013, p. 140). I have noticed in most of the people that they found themselves or expect that they should be the center of attraction.
