...Finding the leader in you BUS 520: Leadership and organizational behavior October, 2013 Develop a profile of your personality characteristics and assessment results Personality traits are enduring characteristics describing an individual’s behavior. There are many personality types and at times it becomes difficulty to pin a person to just one type. More often than not a single person may possess different personality traits. The big five personality dimensions are; extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability and openness to experience (Schermerhorn, (2012). I am a strong willed person, I am compassionate and courageous. I do not give up easily and therefore I have a strong drive to keep going. I am more compatible with people that are fair and hardworking leaving little to no room for slackers. Summarize the results of the assessments completed for homework on week 1 The summary of the assessments done in week 1 indicated that I am a person with strong managerial skills that tends to be more transactional than transformational, in the leadership style. It is suggested that I can improve in my acceptance of change in general. I can also flourish better if I learn to delegate and become a leader rather than a manager. I must learn to trust that others can accomplish as much as I can though they may choose a different route to arrive to the same goal. I am not fond of schedules and limitations and therefore use intuition, an ability...

...Integrating Culture and Diversity in Decision Making: The CEO and Organizational Culture Profile Jalisa Williams Dr. Erica Gamble BUS 520 Leadership and Organizational Behavior November 6, 2013 All about Southwest Southwest Airlines (SWA) was founded by Rollin King and Herb Kelleher in 1967. Southwest got its start in Texas and has since become one of America’s most admired companies. The road of establishing Southwest was not an easy one. The company who first wanted to service within the state of Texas had to fight for 3 years against 3 other airlines in the area for rights. After a judgment by the Texas Supreme Court in 1970, Southwest was cleared to take the air. Southwest lives by their mission statement of its dedication to the highest quality of customer service to be delivered with a sense of warmth, friendliness, individual pride and company spirit (Southwest.com). With the idea of good customer service will make you money, Southwest Airlines is by far the most profitable airline even in this trying time. Southwest’s Culture Happy Employees=Happy Customers At Southwest, they believe that a happy employee equal happy customers. They strive to make every customer experience a great one and by doing this they know the employees play a huge role in customer satisfaction. The core of their being consists of having a warrior spirit, leading with a servant’s heart and having a fun-luving attitude. These three components are what Southwest Airlines...

...Module B Transportation and Assignment Solution Methods B-1 B-2 Module B Transportation and Assignment Solution Methods Solution of the Transportation Model The following example was used in Chapter 6 of the text to demonstrate the formulation of the transportation model. Wheat is harvested in the Midwest and stored in grain elevators in three different cities—Kansas City, Omaha, and Des Moines. These grain elevators supply three flour mills, located in Chicago, St. Louis, and Cincinnati. Grain is shipped to the mills in railroad cars, each of which is capable of holding one ton of wheat. Each grain elevator is able to supply the following number of tons (i.e., railroad cars) of wheat to the mills on a monthly basis: Grain Elevator 1. Kansas City 2. Omaha 3. Des Moines Total Supply 150 175 275 600 tons Each mill demands the following number of tons of wheat per month. Mill A. Chicago B. St. Louis C. Cincinnati Total Demand 200 100 300 600 tons The cost of transporting one ton of wheat from each grain elevator (source) to each mill (destination) differs according to the distance and rail system. These costs are shown in the following table. For example, the cost of shipping one ton of wheat from the grain elevator at Omaha to the mill at Chicago is $7. Mill Grain Elevator 1. Kansas City 2. Omaha 3. Des Moines A. Chicago $6 7 4 B. St. Louis $ 8 11 5 C. Cincinnati $10 11 12 The problem is to determine how many tons of wheat to transport from each...

Kassey Dr. Hwang Lu Bus 520 Assignment 2 July 29, 2012 Discuss why Joe’s employees need to understand the importance of how people form perceptions and make attributions: Great Northern American, according to (Hellriegel, 2011), is a telemarketing organization that sells office supplies, promotional products, arts-and-crafts, and computer supplies over the phone. This publication will study the importance of how people form perceptions and make attributions as well as well as which learning theory (either the operant conditioning, social learning theory or learning theory) would be most appropriate for Joe Salatino to apply to motivate his salespeople. This publication will also study how Joe Salatino can use the value of self-efficacy to ensure that he hires quality salespeople that have the potential to be highly successful in a telemarketing environment. According to (Hellriegel, 2011, p. 104), “Perception is the process by which the individual selects, organizes, interprets, and responds to information.” Based on information from (Duggan, 2012), perception also includes the gathering of sensory information through the body via sight, sound, touch, taste and smell. The Attribution Process, according to (Hellriegel, 2011, p. 119), “refers to the ways in which people come to understand the causes of their own and others’ behaviors.” The need to understand a person’s perceptions and attribution processes is due to the...

...Executive Summary and Company Summary The name of our organization would be Fun and Games Café. We are going to position ourselves as the only company in Melaka that provides café and also entertainment facilities under one roof. Entertainment facilities that would be provided by us include snooker table, pool table, foosball, arcade games and a mini theater. In fact, there are many reasons for our company to be established. We can say that we do not have a direct competitor but an indirect competitor. This is because in Melaka, there is no other outlet that has this combination of the two concepts together. They either have café by itself or entertainment outlet by itself. The potential for our target market to be attracted is also very high. This is because our target market consists mainly on students surrounding the area especially from Multimedia University and also residents around or within 3 kilometers radius from our Fun and Games Café outlet. As we know the lifestyle of people nowadays they tend to like to enjoy and relax more. Other reasons they can hang out at our place includes social and releases tension. Our start up cost would be RM 121, 600 which a large percentage of it would be borrowed from Public Bank. The estimated break even point would be 2.86 years, though; this could be shorten if the market situation is good and provided we put more initiative and hard work. The sales are expected to grow 40%. We must target a net profit of 14% at least and hold...

...P. Kapur Adviser, RITES and A. K. M. Sharma General Manager, Marketing & Client Services, RITES. Prologue RITES Journal 22.1 July 2009 Indian Infrastructure : Role of RITES Introduction Much of the industrialized world is currently in the grip of recession due to the ongoing global financial crises (GFC) – allegedly triggered by the subprime mortgage crisis of USA in 2007. According to some analysts the recession is the worst since the great depression of 1930s. The world output and trade is forecast to shrink in 2009 – the first such contraction since the end of World War II. The recession is inflicting job losses and wealth loss on an unprecedented scale. In an era of globalization, the GFC has impacted the economies of practically all countries in varying degrees and India is no exception. After a long spell of growth, the Indian economy is experiencing a downturn. Industrial growth is faltering, the current account deficit is widening, foreign exchange reserves are depleting and the Rupee is depreciating. There is gloom in the job market and stock markets have registered a sharp downward spiral. RITES - the Infrastructure People. The Company has come a long way from its inception in 1974 and, apart from India, has operated in 62 countries. The Authors, who have a wide experience in international consultancy, have forcefully brought out the present spread of its consultancy areas and as also its road map for the future.
