How Much Does My Auto Insurance Go Up After My First Ticket?

February 9th, 2010 2 Comments   Posted in Auto Insurance

I got my Drivers License a month back. Today I rented a car (and fortunately with a full insurance cover) and ran into another car and got a ticket that says “Inability to control car” or something like that. I am planning to buy a car pretty soon. Could any of you give me an idea as to how much my insurance will be effected as a result of this mishap?
I would appreciate any replies.

How Does Auto Insurance Coverage Work For A Small Business?

February 8th, 2010 3 Comments   Posted in Auto Insurance

I am the only employee of my small business (a C Corp). If I lease a car through the business, rather than personally, how does insurance change? Will coverage be more expensive? What if the car is only used 50% of the time for business and 50% for pleasure? What if my wife is occasionally using the car for non-business purposes?

I Have A 1996 Bmw 318i Convertible. I Have A Problem With Water In The Car, Does Anyone Know How To Fix This?

February 6th, 2010 3 Comments   Posted in BMW

The roof does not leak but it appears water goes into the part of the car that holds the roof when it is down. When I start driving, the water leaks into the car from there. I have heard there is a valve at the bottom of the car I have to open but can’t find it. Anyone know the answer?

How Does Cultural Differences Affect The Way A Company, Like Bmw, Operates In The Us And Europe?

February 5th, 2010 1 Comment   Posted in BMW

This is one of the areas I’m keenly interested in, and this answer could go on for days.
The marketing aspect was already mentioned, but there’s so much more. Since you talk about operating, I’m going to assume that you mean more like the way to set up the company, how to treat employees, things like that, and not marketing (which could be another huge topic).
One of the main questions I’m interested in is whether Global Corporate culture is more powerful than Local culture, or the other way around. What I mean is look at global companies like IBM or Exxon. They have expectations on how employees should act. But can they expect employees in different cultures, who might have conflicting standards, to follow the corporate culture.
Some examples.
A company might have rules against hiring relatives into the same department. But to some cultures, you’re expected to hire relatives because they’re seen as more trustworthy — like are they going to cheat a relative?
What’s the basis of agreeements? Is it a written contract? It is in N. America and Europe where there are strong court systems and you can rely on them interpreting the contract as expected. But in many parts of the world, the court system is unreliable regarding contracts, and those companies will make and honor agreements with you if they respect/like you.
Some cultures are very comfortable with strict hierarchies and classes — they expect it. And they expect managers to tell direct reports what to do. it goes against their culture to have the direct reports giving advice to the boss. I remember the story of Dutch doctors in the Philippines, and they’d tell the nurses what to do and ask if they understood. The nurses would all say “yes” but then not do it. It turned out that they really didn’t understand what to do, but it would’ve been a severe insult to the doctor if they’d said that they didn’t understand, implying that the doctor was competent enough to explain the directions to them. So the doctors learned to ask them “now, what are you going to do?”
So many examples and so many books. One I like for cross-culture communications is International Dimensions of Organizational Behavior by Nancy Adler. Also, if you’re really interested in the organization topic, write to me, and I can forward a PDF report I have that analyzed 3 elevator companies that had offices in several countries and how national culture and institutions played a role in their R&D, manufacturing, and management systems.
