Depending on the level of success you’re seeking to achieve, the level of education may be relative, but the bottom line is, an education of some sort is often paramount to future success. Completing increasingly advanced levels of education shows that you have a drive and commitment to learn and apply information, ideas, theories, and formulas to achieve a variety of tasks and goals. Subject Matters: Probably the most obvious reason education is important is to acquire the subject matter and basic knowledge needed to get by in everyday life. For example: * English and language skills: English and language skills will help you to communicate your ideas more clearly. Communication skills are essential in any role – whether you’re dealing with co-workers, patients, customers, or supervisors, you will need to effectively convey your plans, ideas, goals, and such. * Math and science skills: Although calculators and computers are readily accessible, you still need to learn how to do basic computations and calculations...

...Andreasen defined CRM as “any effort by a corporation to increase its own sales by contributing to the objectives of one or more nonprofit organizations” (Kotler and Andreasen, 1996: 304). Two years later, Business in the Community, an organization which develops CRM programmes in the UK, stated that CRM programmes were a commercial activity in which companies were linked to social causes for mutual benefit (Business in the Community, 1998). And one year after, in 1999, Pringle and Thompson stated that CRM was “a strategic positioning and marketing tool which links a company or brand to a relevant social cause or issue, for mutual benefit” (Pringle and Thompson, 1999: 3). This statement widened the contributions made until that date, stating for the very first time that CRM was a strategic marketing tool and therefore a long-term strategy. What was more, and according to these authors, “the distinctive characteristic of the true Cause Related Marketing is longevity. Charity promotions are by definition shorttermist both in the actual period during which they occur and also in the attitude that underlines them. […]. The Cause Related Marketing campaign is looking for a fundamental and long-term change both in brand image and in the approach to the tackling of an issue or a cause: it is strategic not tactical” (Pringle and Thompson, 1999: 102). By that time, Sue Adkins had made similar contributions, stating that CRM was “a strategy that...

...from 10 management development programmesInternational Journal of Training and Development International Journal of Training and Development 10:4 ISSN 1360-3736 Transfer of learning from management development programmes: testing the Holton model Cyril Kirwan and David Birchall Transfer of learning from management development programmes has been described as the effective and continuing application back at work of the knowledge and skills gained on those programmes. It is a very important issue for organizations today, given the large amounts of investment in these programmes and the small amounts of that investment that actually translates into an improved individual and organizational performance. This paper describes the testing of the Holton model of learning transfer and suggests amendments to the model where appropriate. A sample of participants on a management development programme within the Irish health service completed the Learning Transfer System Inventory based on the Holton model. The data obtained were analysed using multiple regression and partial correlation techniques. Results indicate that the model does adequately represent the effects of its factors, although a slightly revised model is presented. Important relationships between factors are identified, and the central role of the learners’ personal capacity for transfer (hitherto unreported in the literature) and their motivation to transfer in facilitating transfer is highlighted. In practical terms...

...Q.No.1: What Factors lead car manufacturing companies to bring changes in their manufacturing plants at the start of twentieth century? This case study looks at how Jaguar, one of the world's most prestigious car manufacturers, has been involved in a culture change programme to create new ways of working for the twenty-first century. Corporate culture reflects the personality of an organisation. It includes the shared beliefs and the policies and procedures that determine the ways in which the organisation and its people behave and solve business problems. You can quickly get a feel for the culture of an organisation just by looking around and talking to the people who work for it. For example, some organisations are very dynamic and their people are encouraged to take risks. Others are backward looking and rarely take risks. The culture of the organisation provides the meaning, direction and clarity (the human glue) that drives the business to achieve its goals. From time to time it becomes necessary to change the culture of an organisation to make sure that it fits the environment in which the organisation operates. Changes in the car industry The car industry has changed dramatically. At the start of the twentieth century, the industry was dominated by the achievements of Henry Ford who created a manufacturing system that was known as Fordism. In Fordist organisations, the manufacturing system was geared towards creating standardised products such as the Model T Ford ...

...1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background to the Study The effect of training and manpower development on employee’s productivity and organization performance has attracted considerable interest in the analytical and empirical literature. On the whole, human resources management theory has paid considerable attention to this debate; however, the theoretical predictions are ambiguous. Depending on their underlying assumptions, some approaches predict that the performance of an organization is necessarily based on innovative labour force, technology, quality management, and customer satisfaction; while others see training as a tool in the hands of human resources managers to activate and empower the productive base of an organization (Dhamodharan, 2010). Barron and Hagerty (2001) asserted that employee training and manpower development is very vital to job productivity and organization performance, since the formal educational system does not adequately provide specific job skills for a position in a particular organization. While, few individuals may have the requisite skills, knowledge, abilities and competencies needed to fit into a specific job function, some others may require extensive training to acquire the necessary skills to be able to fit in a specific job function and also make significant contribution to the organization’s performance. Guest (2007) asserted that human capital theory provides evidence which indicates that training and education raises the productivity of workers...

...strategic change when the strategy and its desired outcomes are both incompatible with the culture of the organization. How should managers deal with these challenges? How should such cultural appreciations be brought in to the discussion to develop and implement the business strategy? Cultural change is strategic change It is important to understand cultural change as also involving strategic change. Strategy can be considered as a cultural production that may involve cultural adaptation, or transformation, or both. This conceptualization is particularly useful if the organization is “betwixt and between” cultures and organizational identities i.e. a local authority department aspiring to become a commercially driven company. I will use a case study of such an organization that was changing from a council department into a Limited Liability Partnership to flesh out some ideas that illuminate the relationship between strategic development and organizational culture. Culture is not like a skin that an organization can discard as it selects a new organizational culture that is perceived to have strategic fit with its commercial strategy. In my view culture is the organization. Therefore, when an organization faces considerable market forces to change its strategy it can not simply change its culture at will to avoid cultural and strategic incompatibility. The organization has to recognize the miss match between its culture and its strategy and factor the cultural change process...

...External Micro- Environment Micro environment includes those players whose decisions and actions have a direct impact on the company. Production and selling of commodities are the two important aspects of modern business. Accordingly, the micro environment of business can be divided. The various constituents of micro environment are as under: Suppliers of inputs: An important factor in the external micro environment of a firm is the supplier of its inputs such as raw materials and components. Normally, most firms do not depend on a single supplier of inputs. To reduce risk and uncertainty business firms prefer to keep multiple suppliers of inputs. Customers: The people who buy and use a firm’s product and services are an important part of external micro environment. Since sales of a product or service is critical for a firm's survival and growth, it is necessary to keep the customers satisfied. A concern for customers’ satisfaction is essential for the success of a business firms. Besides, a business firm has to compete with rival firms to attract customers and thereby increase the demand and market for its product. Marketing intermediaries: In the firm's external micro environment, marketing intermediaries play an essential role of selling and distributing its products to the final customers. Marketing provides an important link between a business firm and its ultimate customers. Competitors: Different firms in an industry compete with each other for sale...
