...did Boeing adopt the radical change approach for designing and developing the 787 Dreamliner? What were the risks? In your opinion, was it a good move? Defend your choice. Boeing adopted the radical change approach for designing and developing the 787 Dreamliner because they were in competition with Airbus and needed a new approach in which they could use innovation to stand out upon their competitiors. Boeing was looking to reduce manufactur- ing costs and development times. Boeing took an aggressive approach to apply their techniques. There was not enough time to fully establish the project or to even communicate with vendors. The project was delayed mainly because of their global supply chain network. Boeing did not have the necessary technology to fulfill the needs of the 787 Dreamliner which unfortunately caused it to have many delays and problems. In my opinion, this was not a very good decision. It was a financial burden to the company and caused unnecessary stress on the company as a whole. They were left with no choice but to make up for the losses to airlines that purchased the 787 Dreamliner. Kristin Kopicki MIS510 Boeing Case Study Due: 10/15/14 1.

...approaches. The contrasting approaches that are generally used in curriculum development are Technical/Scientific Approach and Non-technical/Non-scientific Approach. In scrutinizing these approaches, the advantages and disadvantages are revealed and the differences they generate in creating a curriculum. According to Bago (2008), information about personal and collective commitments to a particular viewpoint and the values considered important by individuals, school, and society are exposed when examining an approach. Curriculum can also be designed based on a particular context. It solely depends upon the elements namely: contemplation of aims, projected learning outcomes, syllabus, learning and teaching methods, and assessment. There are three common patterns to design a curriculum: through subject – centered, experience – centered, and problem – centered. These are incorporated into the curriculum by looking into its possible effects to the certain elements mentioned above. A design that addresses to the conceptual framework of science education of K to 12 Basic Education Program for example is subject – centered. The science curriculum aims to raise awareness among learners through developing a scientific literacy by hands – on, minds – on and heart – on activities with application on the social, health, or environmental aspects as an individual. It also works toward developing and demonstrating scientific attitudes and values....

In other words, in this environment both organizations and individuals have to accept change and develop to adapt the environment. The limited resources have created some level of conflicts, such as how organization creates corporation among members in allocating resources efficiently. To conclude, interpersonal conflict is challenging, yet it is a normal, essential and manageable of organizational life (Developing management skill, 4th edition, Pearson, J. Carlopio and G. Andrewartha). When conflict is mismanaged, it can harm the organizational relationship and performance. On the contrary, being handled effectively conflict can lead to an opportunity for growth and creates the necessary change to improve interpersonal relations overall.

...widely used in industrial organizations all around the world. The OOAD strategy approaches the problem from an object point of view as opposed to a functional perspective, which is the primary focus of the traditional structured development methodology. Over the years, the increasing use of OOAD over the traditional structured development methodology has spread significantly, throughout the many levels of production and in various projects. As newer and more sophisticated object-oriented languages are created, there appears to be an even greater need for an object-oriented approach to develop business applications. While the use of OOAD methodology is justified in many cases, in some cases it may be inappropriate and we should consider the use of the traditional structured analysis in the design and development of those information systems. This paper shall begin by outlining both the traditional structured and object-oriented approach towards systems analysis and design and then discuss how the object-oriented approach has addressed the weaknesses of the traditional method, and if it has succeeded in doing so. The SDLC is more commonly known as Structured Systems Analysis & Design. Structured methodologies allow the analyst to break down complicated systems into smaller, clearly defined and more manageable parts. The structured systems development life cycle is a step by step approach that moves from one...

...3-8, February (2013) Res. J. Management Sci. Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) approach: An Overview Rajesh Attri1, Nikhil Dev1 and Vivek Sharma2 2 Department of Mechanical Engineering, YMCA University of Science and Technology, Faridabad, INDIA Department of Mechanical Engineering, Advanced Institute of Technology and Management, Palwal, INDIA 1 Available online at: www.isca.in Received 27th November 2012, revised 27th January 2013, accepted 1st February 2013 Abstract Interpretive structural modelling (ISM) is a well-established methodology for identifying relationships among specific items, which define a problem or an issue. This approach has been increasingly used by various researchers to represent the interrelationships among various elements related to the issue. ISM approach starts with an identification of variables, which are relevant to the problem or issue. Then a contextually relevant subordinate relation is chosen. Having decided the contextual relation, a structural self-interaction matrix (SSIM) is developed based on pairwise comparison of variables. After this, SSIM is converted into a reachability matrix (RM) and its transitivity is checked. Once transitivity embedding is complete, a matrix model is obtained. Then, the partitioning of the elements and an extraction of the structural model called ISM is derived. In this paper, key concept of ISM approach is discussed in detail. Keywords: ISM, SSIM, RM, variable, modelling. Introduction ...

...direct method, swing weight method, equivalence lottery method, and hierarchical weight method. Advantages and Disadvantages of Methods There are various advantages and disadvantages of using various methods like indifference trade-off method, swing weight method, direct weight method etc. for developing or calculating tradeoff weights. In the context of benefits, swing weight method is quick and easy to operate that can help the decision maker to make appropriate decision by developing effective tradeoff weights (Bekiaris & Nakanishi, 2004). In addition, all these methods are useful in a project for a decision maker in spatial decision problems. The main advantage of tradeoff analysis methods is the ability to provide different relative weights to each of the alternative or attributes. By using these methods, it is possible to derive weights from a ranking of limited alternatives and easy to achieve an agreement between decision makers. On the other hand, historical weights are still valid in decision and risk analysis that can be helpful to effectively develop tradeoff weights (Guinto, 2008). At the same time, there are some disadvantages of using these methods for developing tradeoff weights. Some of them are as follow: There is no assurance that swing weight method provides accurate eliciting weights. Some of these methods are difficult to calculate appropriate tradeoff weights. These methods are useful to determine tradeoff weights, but at the same time...

...University, Bangalore. Ph.: 919750881011 Email:aarthichinraj94@gmail.com Introduction In the 1930’s, advocates attempted curriculum integration through joint teacher planning and block scheduling. Today, the interdisciplinary approach is a key concept to the advancement of school curriculum at all levels. It has now become debated as to whether an interdisciplinary approach is the best course for a curriculum. Meaning Interdisciplinary instruction entails the use and integration of methods and analytical frameworks from more than one academic discipline to examine a theme, issue, question or topic. Interdisciplinary education makes use of disciplinary approaches to examine topics, but pushes beyond by: taking insights from a variety of relevant disciplines, synthesizing their contribution to understanding, and then integrating these ideas into a more complete, and hopefully coherent, framework of analysis. A way to organize the curriculum, so that thecontent of one subject area is enriched andreinforced by another, and vice versa. Definition Inter-disciplinary analysis – examines an issue from multiple perspectives, leading to a systematic effort to integrate the alternative perspectives into a unified or coherent framework of analysis. The interdisciplinary approach has been defined by Executive Director of the Association for Integrated Studies William H. Newell and William Green (1982) as “inquiries which critically draw upon two or more disciplines and which lead to an integration...

...emerging markets in which it was adopted, which lacked sustained improvements to economic growth and also saw no benefit to market volatility. Subsequent to the Washington Consensus, three main alternative approaches have emerged. Of these, the most logical appears to be adopted a target approach, which focuses on the specific context of each country and alters variables gradually. This approach seems to best address the problems encountered with the Consensus. The Washington Consensus, codified by John Williamson (1990) and informed by neoliberal theory, outlined ten specific economic policies aimed at stabilising, privatising and liberalising developing economies. It was believed that that this was the pathway to modernity for these nations (Rodrik, 2006). Specifically, Williamson (1990) recommended fiscal discipline, reorientation of public expenditures, tax reform, financial liberalisation, unified and competitive exchange rates, trade liberalisation, openness to direct foreign investment, privatization, deregulation, and secure property rights. The recommendations were heavily supported by The International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the US Treasury. Indeed, nonconforming developing nations were put under significant pressure by the World Bank to adopt the recommendations (Rodrik, 2006). Whilst the reforms advocated by the Washington Consensus have been widely implemented, the results have been poor. On the basis of economic growth, Latin America has performed below...

...Skills and Style Approaches to Leadership Introduction The skills approach emphasizes skills that can be learned, thus representing a shift away from the perspective that people are born into/with leadership. In addition to exploring the skills approach, this module will provide a discussion of the style approach which provides a focus upon the behavior manifest in effective leaders. The Skills Approach Katz's Three Basic Administrative Skills Katz (1955) suggests that three basic administrative needs must be present for managers to be effective: technical, human, and conceptual. This skills model of organizational leadership was based on the development of the bases of competencies and was part of a long-term research project entitled Making the Match between University Graduates and Corporate Employers (Evers & Rush, 1996). Using a survey-based analysis, four distinct bases of key competencies of a leader emerged: 1. Mobilizing Innovation and Change: the leader's ability to conceptualize, use creativity/innovation/change, take risks, and engage in visioning for the future. 2. Managing People and Tasks: involves coordinating, decision making, leadership/influence, managing conflict, and planning, leading, controlling, and organizing. 3. Communicating: the leader uses interpersonal, listening, oral, and written communication skills to communicate the organization's goals and the leader's vision. 4. Managing Self: the important keys to success are...
