We're not at Baker Anymore Toto

Procrastination
Hard work often pays off after time,
But laziness always pays off now.

Yoooo Peeps!! Whats good? What a day what a day... so the focus of my case study has changed a bit... now we are focusing on eBay and its problems with transfer of organizational practices to its Chinese subsidiary... Yeah man!

Today was lovely.. I got up relatively early (10am), rushed to the library to do some writing.. then out shopping a bit.. spend a ridiculous amount of euros on pizza and fries, stuffed my face, watched Matze open presents.. watched some great youtube videos..

Dunno what's the deal with this kid-- but he sure cracks ME up!! HAHA -Check it out-

and just writing a bit more on my paper now.. here is a taste of what I’ve been working on..

Although eBay has seen uncanny success in the U.S. over the last decade, due to vast differences in Chinese culture, its U.S.-structured website has produced less than desired results at its Chinese subsidiary. In using Hofstede’s (1984, 1991, 2001) cross-cultural theory, we have a better ability to critically analyze these individual cultural differences, and attempt to identify their potential influence on the ultimate failure of eBay’s Chinese venture.

So as you can see we’ve changed the focus a bit more on eBay.. but I’m hoping to use a couple of references to what happened with Google. Anywho… I’m going to close up shop (my pc / best friend)… and have a couple of beers then go out! OMG I’m going out!??! Wow.. when I first got here I think I was out just about everyday.. noooowwww not so much! Just call me Jen the hermit!!

Oh,… BTW—Its official!! I’m going t Scotland.. No England.. but .. another time! Get this yall—traveling by myself!! OMG!!! AHAHAHAHA!!! Leave in ONE WEEK!

-Jen, OFFICIAL word traveler
