Outline The Meaning of Culture Cultural Concepts and Models Culture and Managerial Skill Culture and Negotiations Culture and Business-to-Business Marketing Takeaways The Meaning of Culture Culture is usually defined as the underlying value framework that guides an individual's behavior Here culture is reflected in an individual's perceptions of observed events, in personal interactions, and in the selection of appropriate responses in social situations It manifests itself in learned behavior as individuals grow up and gradually come to understand what their culture demands of them A modern conception of culture focuses directly on behavior Here culture creates a repertoire of behavioral skills Cultures Across Countries High versus Low Context Cultures High Context Cultures The meaning of individual behavior and speech changes depending on the situation or context Nonverbal messages are full of important and intended meanings When words are spoken, "reading between the lines" is important High context cultures can be found in most of the European countries, some of Latin American countries, and in Japan and many of the newly industrializing Asian countries Cultures Across Countries Low Context Cultures Intentions are expressed verbally A person's meaning should be explicit not taken for granted Propositions have to be justified and opinions defended openly Low context cultures can be found in culturally diverse countries in the U.S., China, Russia, Australia and New Zealand Low and High Contexts What you say is what you think "No, I really mean it…" What you say is not really what you think. "As I am sure you understand,…" Read between the lines. Abcdefgh ijklmnop Abcdefgh ijklmnop Abcdefgh ijklmnop Silent language's role is LOW. Wbxdye Silent language's role is HIGH. Hall's "Silent Languages" Space The comfortable distance between two people conversing differs across cultures Material Possessions The possessions that describe a person's station in life differ across cultures Friendship Patterns Culture determines what friendship means to a person Agreements Between People Contracts are interpreted differently across cultures Time Time perceptions vary considerable across cultures - "a little late" in some countries means 5 minutes, elsewhere 2 hours. Cultural Pitfall Avoid Self-Referencing Self-referencing A process by which individuals form judgments about others Involves judging others' behavior Against your own past experiences and your own conception of self Can lead to misperceptions of people from abroad Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions Individualism versus Collectivism In a collective society the identity and worth of the individual is rooted in the social system, less in individual achievement High versus Low Power Distance High power distance societies tend to be less egalitarian, while democratic countries exhibit low power distance Masculine versus Feminine Captures the degree to which culture is dominated by assertive males , rather than nurturing females and the corresponding values Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions Uncertainty Avoidance Rates nations based on the level of risk tolerance or aversion among the people Confucianist Dynamics Distinguishes the long-term orientation of Asian people from the more short-term outlook of Western people Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions Japan Anglo-America (USA, UK, Canada) W.

American football: Individualism and competitive speculation; huddling; ceremonial celebration of perfection. 2. The British house: Laying the foundations; building the brick house; living in the brick house. 3. The German Symphony: 0rchestra; conductors; performance society; education, and politics. 4. The French wine: Purity; classification; composition; compatibility; maturation. Rapaille's Cultural Marketing Secrets • Secret 1: People don't buy products and services - they buy relationships. • Secret 2: Understanding the local culture makes a relationship successful. • Secret 3: Each culture has a DNA archetype to be decoded. • Secret 4: After decoding, the strategy can be encoded. • Secret 5: Decoding and encoding are necessary to succeed in global marketing. Rapaille: What is "Quality"? JAPAN : JAPAN : GERMANY : FRANCE : USA : ZER DEFECTS CONFORMS TO STANDARDS & SPECIFICATIONS Luxury It k works. Culture and "How to do Business" Managerial Styles Cultures tend to generate different managerial styles – and different managerial skills. Managing Subordinates Cultural differences suggest that different types of leadership skills will be needed in managing marketing overseas as opposed to in the home market To help managers cope with or avoid cultural clashes most companies offer new expatriate managers (and their families) predeparture workshops and briefings Culture and How Managerial Skills Are Developed Culture and Managerial Skill Development General culture defines a set of acceptable and unacceptable behaviors Individuals learn to act out these behavioral norms Over time, individuals become skilled at displaying acceptable behaviors and skilled at avoiding unacceptable behaviors Acceptable behavior in the business firm is usually a reflection of acceptable behavior in society Culture and How Managerial Skills Are Developed Culture and Managerial Skill Development (cont'd) Successful managers tend to be good at acceptable behaviors and at avoiding unacceptable behaviors Successes and failures in the past will be repeated elsewhere whether or not applicable. Therefore… The managers successful in one culture will often NOT be successful in very different cultures. Trompenaars' cultural contrasts • Universalism vs. Particularism • Individualism vs. Communitarianism • Neutral vs. Emotional • Specific vs. Diffuse • Achievement vs. Ascription • Attitudes towards time • Attitudes towards the environment Culture and Negotiations Know Whom You Are Dealing With In most negotiations knowing something about the cultural background of the opposite partner is considered a must Know What They Hear The second caution from experts is the possibility of discrepancies between what the manager thinks he or she is communicating and what is actually received by the other party Nonverbal communication is always a mysterious ingredient in negotiations Know When to Say What Spend some time to understand the other culture And build a relationship if necessary The Four Stages of Negotiations Stage 1.Non-task sounding 2.Task-related exchange of information Japanese Americans • Considerable time and expense devoted to such efforts • Relatively shorter periods are typical. • Most important step high first offers with long explanations and in-depth clarifications. • Information is given briefly and directly. "Fair" first offers are typical. The Four Stages of Negotiations Stage 3. Persuasion 4. Concessions and agreement Japanese Americans • Done primarily behind the scenes. Vertical status dictates bargaining outcomes. • Most important step: minds are changed at the negotiations table and aggressive persuasive tactics are used. • Concessions made only toward the end – holistic approach to decision making. • Concessions and commitments are made throughout – a sequential approach to decision making.

Takeaway Our own culture has given us useful behavioral skills. In new situations, these skills may be useless or even counterproductive. Takeaway In negotiations, attempting to adapt completely to a new culture may be counterproductive since it is unexpected and might erode trust. Takeaway Cultural differences are examples of market entry barriers & can be overcome with sensitivity, hard work, & a superior product or service.

The newspaper's office hours arc 8 a.in. to 5:30 p.m. Council makes severance deal By MARK WARNKEN Staff Writer Several loose ends remaining from the recent turmoil at New Braunfels City Hall may be tied up Friday when the City Council is scheduled to approve a severance settlement with the former city manager and discuss extra compensation for the interim city manager. But election of a new mayor and the hiring of a permanent city manager will wait at least a little longer. After meeting behind closed doors for three hours Monday night, the council unanimously accepted the resignations of City Manager Paul Groh-man and Mayor James Goodbrcad, apparently the first step in ending a divisive monthlong council dispute. The city intends to make public a counci I-approved severance settlement with Grohman after an executive session during a 5 p.m. special meeting Friday at the New Braunfels Municipal Building meeting room, City Attorney Barry Moore said. Though city officials so far have declined to release specific details of the proposed settlement, Mayor Pro Tem Ramon Chapa Jr. has said it includes severance pay and insurance and retirement benefits until Grohman finds new employment, but not the purchase of his New Braunfels home. "I think the citizens have the right to know everything, but in this case the matter is delicate," Chapa said Wednesday evening. "Once the entire council agrees to release the information, it will be released at that point in time. ''That's about as much as I can say. For other comment, I would suggest you contact City Attorney Barry Moore," he said. Council Members Clinton Brand! and Paul Fraser, both contacted by telephone, also said they could not comment on the agreement. "At this point, I cannot comment on that particular matter," Brandt said. Fraser said, "It is not completed document, and so I cannot respond. I don't think the public needs to know before we've dotted the 'i's and crossed the Vs because it's not a completed agreement until that time." The New Braunfels Hcrald-Zeitung on Wednesday morning Filed a written request with Moore for release of the proposed agreement for today's newspaper. Thursday morning, Moore said details could not be released before the meeting because the agreement was still under negotiation. The ongoing discussions to put the agreement into writing involved Ken Brazle, Grohman's New Braunfels attorney, Moore said. "You can't really release what you're going to talk about beforehand. That's just the nature of settlements,'' Moore said. "I understand (the newspaper's) position, but I'm looking at it from a lawyer's point of view, and that's just the way things arc done on settlements." After an executive session discussion with interim City Manager Hector Tamayo, council members also are SM CITY, Pag* 2 AN EDITORIAL You have right to know what's in that agreement What is it your City Council doesn't want you to know until it is too late? New Braunfels Mayor James Goodbrcad and City Manager Paul Grohman both resigned last Monday. (Goodbread will remain a member of the council, he just won't be the mayor anymore.) Those resignations came after a long and bitter round of mudslinging that divided not only the council, but the community. And it obviously was not coincidental that the two principal combatants decided simultaneously to resign. Some sort of agreement led to those resignations. That agreement is to be formalized Friday evening at yet another in a long siring of emergency and special meetings of the council. This newspaper has requested a copy of that agreement as it stands now. We believe the residents of New Braunfels have a right to know about it and react to it before it is written in stone. We believe the residents whose tax dollars will fund that agreement have a right to let their elected representatives know exactly how they feel about that agreement before it is loo late for their opinions to have any effect. No, say council members and other city officials. The agreement will be made public after it is adopted, they say. It is "too delicate" to expose to the light of public scrutiny. Until it is formally adopted — and perhaps even after? — it is to remain shrouded in secrecy. ITic city manager had a severance agreement with the city. It spelled out some very specific benefits he was to receive should he and the city elect to part ways prior to the fulfilling of his contract. That agreement was a very generous one. But as he and the mayor traded broadsides over the past month, we have been told, the manager attempted to negotiate an even better severance package. Was he successful? And if so. how successful? Right now, most of us don't know. Right now, the answer is hidden. Our elected officials haven't decided it'* time for us to know yet. Don't worry about it, they seem to be telling us. Everything will be OK. We'll bandle it. Just relax. Would that we could. Bul having just suffered through a month when the council's ineptitude made usa joke throughout the state, that's a pretty tough pill to swallow. Most of us would really like to know what's going on before we become the victims again, please. Grohman not selected for Temple, Tyler jobs By MARK WARNKEN Staff Writer The Temple City Council is scheduled lo officially hire a North Carolina resident as its city manager during a Nov. 7 meeting. Former New Braunfels City Manager Paul Grohman, who resigned Monday, was one of 14 finalists for the post. Grohman confirmed in late August dial he had applied for the vacant city manager job in Temple and also for one in Tyler, news that surprised former Mayor James Goodbrcad and several City Council members. Grohman, who along widi Goodbrcad resigned Monday, did not make the list of finalists for die Tyler position, according to Ben Blair, city of Tyler personnel director. Blair said he was unaware of any controversy at New Braunfels City Hall and dial such an issue did not factor into selection of finalists, which was based only on experience and qualifications. The Tyler City Council just completed interviewing the finalists and should soon announce a decision, he said Thursday. Late Tuesday evening, Temple Mayor Dennis Hobbs announced plans to hire David R. Taylor, 54, president and chief executive officer of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce and former city manager of Chapel Hill, N.C. Taylor will be paid $89.(XX) a year, about $20,000 more than the previous manager. Hobbs, in a telephone interview Wednesday, said the recent turmoil at New Braunfels City Hall had no effect on the decision in Temple. The council there had completed interviewing the finalisui and had begun negotiating with Taylor before news of the local dispute reached there, Hobbs said. Sti TEMPLE.

Walls, who has served as WORD'S administrator since February 1989, resigned in a letter delivered a week ago to Dr. John Landry, district chairman. The resignation reportedly contained a personal letter to Landry, detailing Walls' reasons for stepping down. Landry reported that the board will negotiate for the return of the administrator, who was not present at the meeting, and is not yet prepared to accept the resignation. "We've been in touch with Mrs. Walls and she has agreed to talk to us to see if she'll change her mind about resigning," Landry said. The task of negotiating the admini strator's possible return was directed to an ad-hoc committee composed of directors Fred Moos, Harry Heimer and Landry. Walls agreed to meet with the committee next week, following a discussion with Moos, Landry said. Details of what the district might offer Walls lo return were not discussed. Susy Simpson, a representative of Bungy Over Texas, questioned the board about Walls decision to resign but got no answers. "She gave me one (reason for leaving), but I'm to going to reveal it this evening," Landry said. "It was in a personal letter to me. She was fed up with a lot of people, me included. "So don't feel like you were the only one," Landry told Simpson, who had dealt with Walls regarding reg ulation of the bungec-jumpmg business. Canyon Lake resident Lois Duggan addressed the board briefly to enter several items in the public record, referring to research conducted into the district's policies. After reviewing the district's Policy and Operating Manual, prepared for the Comal County Commissioners Court by HRL Associates of Houston, Duggan charged that language in the document doesn't provide for an administrator unless a district director makes an appointment to die position. "Who is the director? Where is the control?" Duggan asked, again questioning the legality of the district and its actions. In a separate matter, Duggan charged the commissioners court with negligence in protecting the board of directors, following a query by outfitter Jane Abbott on the status of the district's Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy. According to Duggan and Abbott, the insurance provided through the county government by the Texas Association of Counties applies only to entities budgeted by the county. WORD currently receives no funding from the county government, Duggan said, adding that the county has "no grounds" for providing district coverage through the TAC policy, items of which she claimed the commissioners' coun has had full knowledge. Duggan called the commissioners' alleged actions "unacceptable," describing them as a "backdoor approach" to solving the problem. Members of the board said die issued would be explored. In other business, the board: • Met with members of the Canyon Lake Area Economic Development Council, which requested $800 for signs relating to lake area beautification projects. • Met with members of the Village West Boat Dock Committee, who requested up to $1,400 in additional monies for a repair project the beard agreed last month to fund. The issue was referred to a committee. • Partially approved a contract with Im WALLS. Pag* 2 ;

Fuel Cleaning Guide
Fuel Cleaning to Maintain Your Car
It is exciting when getting a new car but you need to consider maintenance as well. It is a very tedious work, specifically if you don't have much knowledge on the engine and fuel cleaning to cut cost and stop any damage. Whether you use diesel or gasoline, it is important to consider extensive fuel cleaning in order to maintain your car tank and the overall condition of your vehicles. Fuel runs your car and it is an essential component so it will function accordingly. Here are some of the few and simple precautionary measures that can help to lessen fuel problems and other related problems later on.
Tank Cleaning Fountain Valley CA allows you to maintain your fuel free from moisture. Once droplets form in the fuel, these can disrupt the engine and it will not perform normally. An additional result would be the formation of rust around the tank once you ignore this problem. What you need to do is to make sure that you clean your tank occasionally to remove unwanted particles.
You must check as well your diesel cloud points. This means that you have to check your fuel for crystallization because your filters might get clogged. When this happens, your car will have a poor performance and you will just spend more money.
You must never exchange price over quality with the kind of fuel you use. Although it might be a good option at first, but you will see unwanted results eventually. You need to spend more money than what you expected.
You really need to avoid alcohol content since they will certainly ruin the fuel system. Check products that consist of alcohol, particularly ethanol that can cause harm to your car. You need to be aware also that it is an oxygen magnet that attracts air, therefore causing moisture.
You need to keep your fuel in the right place. Your major consideration will be the temperature as the weather has a great influence in your fuel condition. You might want to stabilizer for you to avoid oxidation.
Fuel Polishing Costa Mesa CA entails cleaning your filter, which is very significant. If it can't properly filter, it will ultimately ruin the whole fuel system. When you are done cleaning your tank, you ought to use fresh new fuel always. Remember that old fuel already includes rust and other debris whilst your new fuel doesn't have any particles in it.
Similar to any other equipment, it is essential that you maintain your car regularly. If you want to enjoy having your car for longer time, you should consider fuel cleaning. The above-mentioned tips may be very simple but they can help you in time. Irrespective of the car models, everyone desires their car to last long. Fuel cleaning can help to maintain your car and improve its performance.

Good morning folks. It has been a while since the last installment of You Write the Caption but it is time bring the contest back. We at SBI will be looking to keep it in the weekly rotation for those of you who think you are talented enough to provide some comedy on a regular basis.
This week's contest is brought to you by Objectivo Apparel, which will reward the winning caption writer with a t-shirt from it's collection.
This week's installment of YWTC features none other than David Beckham, who watched his AC Milan teammate Kaka turn down a monstrous transfer bid from Manchester City. We can all assume that Beckham would have turned down a similar offer, what with him being a lifelong Manchester United fan and all, but then again you can't help but wonder whether he might have considered the offer if Man City's Arab owners had come calling with their vast amounts of oil money.
With that in mind, here is this week's YWTC:
'Hey Alexi, nice disguise but I still can't get you a job here at Milan."
"Why buy Kaka when you can have me and Victoria for half the price?"
Now it's your turn. Please submit your caption suggestions in the comments section below. Please remember to try and keep them reasonably short and tasteful enough for public consumption.
I will select the 10 best entries and put them up for a fan vote on which is the best. The writer of the winning caption will receive a prize of the t-shirt of their choice from the Objectivo Apparel line.
Now, fire away.
Scott A
Hi, my name's Becks, Kaka tells me you're looking for a man who values money over trophies?
Man in Saudi headgear:
"It's a deal! Now as per our contract, kindly ask your wife to stop dressing like a crazed woman/robot-alien. As for you, no more man-junk ads."
"Come again?"
Hey David, you want to come to Inter?
I think Ives' Lalas caption at the beginning is the best of the bunch.
Soon Beckham realized that the mystery man trying to lure him back to the Galaxy was indeed Cobi Jones on stilts.
Tim Farley
So let me see if I've got this right – 90 minutes – who can make more money? It's a bet, chap!

Louis B. Mayer
Louis Burt Mayer (July 4, 1884 – October 29, 1957) was a Russian-born American film producer. He is generally cited as the creator of the "star system" within Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) in its golden years. Known always as Louis B. Mayer and often simply as "L.B.", he believed in wholesome entertainment and went to great lengths so that MGM had "more stars than there are in the heavens".
Early life
Born Lazar Meir to a Jewish family in Minsk, today the capital of Belarus[1], then part of the Russian Empire, capital of the Minsk Province (Minskaja Guberniya). His actual birthdate is unknown; a patriotic Mayer chose July 4 when he became an American citizen, to honor his adopted country. Mayer emigrated with his family to Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada when he was still very young, and Mayer attended school there. His father started a scrap metal business, J. Mayer & Son. His parents, Sarah and Jacob Mayer, had five children: Yetta, Ida, Louis, Jerry and Rudolph. In 1904, the 19-year-old Mayer left Saint John for Boston, where he continued for a time in the scrap metal business, married, and took a variety of odd jobs to support his family when his junk business lagged.
Early career
Mayer renovated the Gem Theater, a rundown, 600 seat burlesque house in Haverhill, Massachusetts,[2] which he reopened on November 28, 1907 as the Orpheum, his first movie theater. To overcome the unfavorable reputation that the building once had in the community, Mayer decided to debut with the showing of a religious film. Years later, Mayer would say that the premiere at the Orpheum was From the Manger to the Cross,[3] although most sources place the release date of that film as 1912.[4] Within a few years, he owned all five of Haverhill's theaters, and, with Nathan H. Gordon, created the Gordon-Mayer partnership that controlled the largest theater chain in New England.[5]
In 1914, the partners organized their own film distribution agency in Boston. Mayer paid D.W. Griffith $25,000 for the exclusive rights to show The Birth of a Nation (1915) in New England. Although Mayer made the bid on a film that one of his scouts had seen, but he had not, his decision netted him over $100,000.[6] Mayer partnered with Richard A. Rowland in 1916 to create Metro Pictures Corporation, a talent booking agency, in New York City.
Two years later, Mayer moved to Los Angeles and formed his own production company, Louis B. Mayer Pictures Corporation. The first production was 1918's Virtuous Wives.[7] A partnership was set up with B. P. Schulberg to make the Mayer-Schulberg Studio. Mayer's big breakthrough, however, was in April 1924 when Marcus Loew, owner of the Loew's chain, merged Metro Pictures, Samuel Goldwyn's Goldwyn Pictures Corporation, and Mayer Pictures into Metro-Goldwyn. Loew had bought Metro and Goldwyn some months before, but couldn't find anyone to oversee his new holdings on the West Coast. Mayer, with his proven success as a producer, was an obvious choice. He was named head of studio operations and a Loew's vice president, based in Los Angeles, reporting to Loew's longtime right-hand man Nicholas Schenck. He would hold this post for the next 27 years. Before the year was out, Mayer added his name to the studio with Loew's blessing, renaming it Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
Loew died in 1927, and Schenck became president of Loew's. Mayer and Schenck hated each other intensely; Mayer reportedly referred to his boss as "Mr. Skunk" in private.[8] Two years later, Schenck agreed to sell Loew's-and MGM—to William Fox. Mayer was outraged; despite his important role in MGM, he wasn't a shareholder. Mayer used his Washington connections to persuade the Justice Department to delay the merger on antitrust grounds. During the summer of 1929, Fox was severely injured in an auto accident. By the time he recovered, the stock market crash had wiped out his fortune, destroying any chance of the deal going through even if Justice had lifted its objections. Nonetheless, Schenck believed Mayer had cost him a fortune and never forgave him, causing an already frigid relationship to get even worse.
MGM boss
As a studio boss, Louis B. Mayer built MGM into the most financially successful motion picture studio in the world and the only one to pay dividends throughout the Great Depression of the 1930s. Although he initially got along well with production chief Irving Thalberg, their relationship soon frayed over philosophical differences. Thalberg preferred literary works over the crowd-pleasers Mayer wanted. He ousted Thalberg as production chief in 1932 while Thalberg was recovering from a heart attack and replaced him with independent producers, e.g. David Selznick, until Thalberg's death in 1936, when Mayer became head of production as well as studio chief. He became the first person in American history to earn a million-dollar salary.
Under Mayer, MGM produced many successful films with high earning stars, including Greta Garbo, Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn, Lon Chaney, Joan Crawford, Jean Harlow, Judy Garland and many others.
Katharine Hepburn referred to him as a "nice man" (and claimed she personally negotiated many of her contracts with Mayer), and some younger actors, such as Debbie Reynolds, June Allyson, Mickey Rooney and Leslie Caron, who matured as MGM contract players, viewed him as a father figure.
Between 1939 and 1950, Mayer's success was so great that he was the highest paid man in America.[9]
Later years and fall from power
By 1948, due to the introduction of television and changing public tastes, MGM suffered a considerable dropoff in its success. The glory days of MGM as well as other studios were also over because of United States v. Paramount Pictures, Inc. (1948), a Supreme Court decision that severed the connection between film studios and the movie theater chains that showed their films (though it would be another six years before Loew's sold majority control of MGM).
Under orders to control costs and hire "a new Thalberg," Mayer hired writer and producer Dore Schary as production chief. Schary, who was 20 years Mayer's junior, preferred message pictures in contrast with Mayer's taste for "wholesome" films.
By 1951, MGM had gone three years without a major Academy Award, which provoked further conflict between Mayer and Schenck. Believing that Mayer couldn't turn the tide, Schenck fired Mayer from the post he'd held for 27 years, replacing him with Schary. The firing reportedly came after Mayer called New York and issued an ultimatum--"It's him or me" (or "It's either me or Schary", depending on the source). Mayer tried to stage a boardroom coup but failed and largely retired from public life.
Personal life
Mayer had two daughters from his first marriage to Margaret Shenberg. The eldest, Edith (Edie) Mayer (b. August 14, 1905 - d.1987), whom he would later become estranged from and disinherit, married producer William Goetz (who became president of Universal Pictures). The younger daughter, Irene Gladys Mayer (1907–1990), married producer David O. Selznick.
Mayer lived on Saint Cloud Road in the East Gate Bel Air section of Los Angeles, California[10].
Active in Republican Party politics, Mayer served as the vice chairman of the California Republican Party from 1931 to 1932, and as its state chairman between 1932 and 1933. He was a delegate to the 1932 Republican National Convention with fellow Republicans Earl Warren, Joseph R. Knowland and Marshall Hale in Chicago. Mayer endorsed the second term of President Herbert Hoover.
Mayer also loved boats and racehorses, and owned a number of each.
Thoroughbred horse racing hobby
Mayer owned or bred a number of successful thoroughbred racehorses at his 504-acre (2.0 km2) ranch in Perris, California, 72 miles (116 km) east of Los Angeles.
In the 2005 biography, Lion of Hollywood, author Scott Eyman wrote that: "Mayer built one of the finest racing stables in the United States" and that he "almost single-handedly raised the standards of the California racing business to a point where the Eastern thoroughbred establishment had to pay attention." Among his horses was Your Host, sire of Kelso, the 1945 U.S. Horse of the Year, Busher, and the 1959 Preakness Stakes winner, Royal Orbit. Eventually Mayer sold off the stable, partly to finance his divorce in 1947. His 248 horses brought more than $4.4 million. In 1976, Thoroughbred of California magazine named him "California Breeder of the Century".
Death and legacy
Louis B. Mayer died of leukemia on October 29, 1957 and was interred in the Home of Peace Cemetery in East Los Angeles, California. His sister, Ida Mayer Cummings, and brothers Jerry and Rudolph are also interred there.
- The primary screening facility for Loyola Marymount University's School of Film and Television—the Mayer Theatre—is named after him. Mayer permitted the university's sports teams to use the MGM lion as their mascot.[11]
- The main theatre at Santa Clara University bears his name.
- Mayer was inducted into the Junior Achievement U.S. Business Hall of Fame in 1990.

- The Louis B. Mayer Research Laboratories building at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute opened in 1988.
- Former MGM Studio Lot in Culver City, is now Sony Pictures Studios.
