Charles V, The Holy Roman Emperor (Charles I of Spain)
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the reign of Charles V (Charles I of Spain), the Holy Roman Emperor of the 16th century. The Spanish conquest during his reign is also included. Charles V (1500-1558) the Holy Roman Emperor in the 16th century became the ruler of one of the most expansive empires in European history. During his reign he was also Charles I of Spain and King of Franche-Comte and the Netherlands. During his lifetime he fought for the maintenance of the Catholic religion against the increasing influences of the Protestant religion and the followers of Martin Luther and the ongoing boundary dispute with the French and the Turks. A man of compassion, Charles and his brother Ferdinand signed many treaties to continue peace on the continent. The ongoing success of the Spanish conquests of the Americas and the Indies continued during the reign of Charles and his sympathies toward the treatment of the native Indians led him to pass the New Laws of the Indies in 1542 which outlawed the enslavement of the Indians by the settlers. Charles eventually retired his lands and throne to his son Philip II and his brother Ferdinand I and lived in a monastery in Spain until his death in September 1558.

Chile’s Culture as an Influence on Business and Management Practice
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the influence of Chile’s culture on business and management practices. Chilean management structures and practices are influenced by a diverse number of factors from Chilean culture. The strong military presence and influence of the Church resulted in management procedures which are strict, conservative and respectful in nature. Strong social class hierarchies in Chilean society has resulted in highly hierarchical structures in management where the higher end executives are responsible for the decision making processes and are well rewarded because of this. Finally, women’s roles in Chilean culture are quite prominent and this is also reflected in the Chilean work place as women have equal representation in the social classes as well as professional positions and politics.
