...When looking at the example of “Friedmans microwave and Kitchen Specialists”, I tend to see elements from all of the leadership styles listed in question one. The University of Iowa which promotes the Democratic Leadership style contains the most elements of Art Friedman’s new direction for his company. Allowing the workers to control their scheduling, pay, discipline nearly all issues concerning their employment is the essence of a Democratic Leadership style. Now the University of Michigan and Ohio State leadership theories are essentially the same idea with a different application procedure. Art Friedman’s new leadership style is without question an employee centered leadership style, present in both Michigan and Ohio States theories. However where I am conflicted by the competing theories in regards to Friedman’s Microwave is if the Michigan/Ohio State business style allow for a democratically controlled employee scheduling, pay, merit etc. 2. Without question Content Motivation theories are at play in our case study concerning Art Friedman’s employees. Unfortunately I feel we are not given enough information to fully answer the question as it is proposed. We are not told why Friedman’s employees production was lackluster. Was the previous management style highly autocratic? Were lower level employees concerns and suggestions routinely ignored? Perhaps so. I will use the assumption that Friedman’s employees were not empowered under the previous management scenario. If we...

Moreover, organization development is directed at bringing about planned change to increase an organization's effectiveness and capability to overcome difficulty.

...In Islam there is no conflict between matter and soul, as there is no separation between economy and religion. Although Islamic economics is young in comparison with conventional economics, its characteristics, value and essence are appreciated by Muslims and the non-Muslims. The over-arching values of Islamic economics lie in the principle that it is an economic strategy that can achieve unity and harmony between the material and the spiritual life of the people. To ensure the true well-being of all individuals, irrespective of their sex, age, race, religion and wealth, Islamic economics does not seek to abolish private property, a practice done by communism, nor does it prevent individuals from serving their self-interest. It recognizes the role of the market forces in the efficient allocation of resources. It seeks to promote brotherhood, socio-economic justice and well-being of all through an integrated role of moral values, market mechanism and good governance. The differences between conventional and Islamic economics are as listed below. 1. The Role of Moral Values While conventional economics generally considers the behavior, tastes and preferences of individuals as given, Islamic economics does not do so. It places great emphasis on individual and social reforms through moral uplift. This is purportedly to be the purpose for which God’s messengers have come to this world. Moral uplift aims at changing the behavior, tastes and preferences of the individuals, and...

...Business case analysis BCA can be defined as a decision support and planning tool that projects the likely financial results and other business consequences of an action. The analysis essentially asks “What happens if we take this or that action?" The analysis answers in business terms—business costs, business benefits, and business risks. The word case in the term signals that BCA results are often used with proposals, or arguments, to “make the case” for taking action or for choosing one decision option over another. The shorter term, business case, can be defined as a recommendation for action based on BCA results. Some business people use the terms cost benefit analyis, financial justification, total cost of ownership, or return on investment analysis to emphasize the special purpose of the study, though what is usually meant by these terms fits the business case analysis (BCA) definition above. While all are essentially "business cases," decision makers and analysts should remember that none of these terms is supported by universally agreed standards. Individual organizations and companies sometimes establish their own standards for content, structure, and the case building process, but cases built elsewhere, under other local standards, can be quite different. Business case results support decision making and planning, but they also provide valuable guidance for managing and controlling projects, programs, or the life cycle of assets. Good case analysis, for instance...

...Suicide Drill The suicide drill is a basic basketball drill to develop your players' footwork and stamina. Line up your players at the baseline. When you blow the whistle, the players sprint to the free throw line. They touch the line with their hands and sprint back to the baseline, touching it. From there, they run to the half court line, touch it and then sprint back to the baseline. The process continues until each player reaches the opposite baseline, touches it and sprints back. Lateral Suicide The lateral suicide drill is a variation of the standard suicide. Instead of sprinting, the players move to each line of the court laterally with their knees bent and buttocks low, as if they were defending an opponent. Free Throw Drill Each player shoots and must make ten consecutive free throws. Another player is under the basket to rebound and pass the ball back to the shooting player. This drill is effective when the players have finished other grueling drills so they get used to the experience of shooting while exhausted. Seven-Spot Shooting The seven-spot shooting drill is an exercise to get your players comfortable in shooting jump shots from various areas of the floor. Divide the team into two groups and have each group line up at the corner of each basket. Establish seven shooting positions: starting corner, opposite corners, top of the key, free throw line and three spots on the perimeter. Each player in each group must make the shot in that position before the group...

...‘Why I left Goldman Sachs’ by Greg Smith Précis by Pete Laburn Landing a job at Goldman Sachs Greg Smith is a pharmacist’s son from Johannesburg, South Africa, who won a scholarship to Stanford University in America. He grew up in Edenvale, as the eldest of three siblings in a Jewish middle class family, and earned a place among the 32 people, out of the 3000 international students, who applied for a full scholarship to Stanford. Three years later, in 2000, Greg was awarded a summer internship at Goldman Sachs. Of the intern class in any year, only 40% of students would be offered a full time job at Goldman Sachs after the summer. The internship programme was very strenuous and difficult, but showed that the firm took its culture seriously and taught all potential employees about giving clients good service. The internship programme gave students an opportunity to show their merit over a 10 week period as opposed to relying on a 30 minute interview. The firm stressed the importance of giving clients the correct information, not making things up or exaggerating, but being upfront and honest, even when you make a mistake. Teamwork was also highly valued at Goldman Sachs. From Goldman’s first days until 1999 (130 years) it had prided itself on serving as an adviser to its clients, with fiduciary responsibility. A fiduciary stood in a special position of trust and obligation where the client was concerned. This role was applicable when the firm was advising the client about...

...Camillus is a complex character whose representation as the perfect historical hero, exemplifying Roman virtues, is nuanced by his, at times, semi-divine portrayal while, at others, very human and believable depiction. Although Camillus' semi-divine depiction is perceived as conveying impietas, his pietas through fulfillment of vows, as well as leadership and courage make him both human and credible as the ideal hero for Livy. Livy portrays Camillus as disconnected from plebians and possessing impietas through his semi-divine portrayal, yet redeems him as a credible and human hero through his religious observance. The image of Camillus during the triumph, celebrating his role as dictator following the siege of Veii is particularly striking, as suggested by the emphatic placement of 'maxime conspectus'. He is drawn in a 'curru', an emphatic symbol of status, in which a sense of dignity and stateliness is derived from the word choice, 'invectus' suggesting the privilege of being chauffeured into the city, while Livy's use of colour imagery, 'albis equis' to describe the horses that pull Camillus makes him appear pure and almost regal. The cumulative effect of this description is to blur the distinction between Camillus, the man, and percieved notions of divinity, reinforced by the contrast 'parumque id non civile modo sed humanum', implying transcendence semi-divine status. Camillus is seen as distancing himself from the public and as a distrusted leader through impietas to gods...

...Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction This research project serves as culmination to the problem involving the restoration of the Basilica. It seeks to summarize, explain and synthesize several highlights of the topic in dialogue with the assigned texts and other readings; it will force additional research and reflections as an instrument for clarifying, defining and augmenting the author’s understanding of the major issues addressed by the proposal. The scope of the study embraces a solution that will lead the restoration of the Basilica to realities and treat the problems involving its reestablishment. Being a national heritage and considered to be one of the first Roman Catholic churches in the Philippines, it is our objective to restore a historical edifice and preserve its cultural legacy and customs.
