...range in albedo of a variety of common surfaces, ranging from about 5% for dark objects such as forests and asphalt, to as much as 90% for light objects, such as fresh snow. Because Earth’s albedo affects the amount of sunlight the planet absorbs, it has a direct effect on Earth’s energy budget and, therefore, global temperatures. Over the next few decades, effects of climate change, including decreasing areas of highly reflective snow and ice, will decrease Earth’s albedo. This will accelerate the rate of global temperature rise, creating what is known as a positive feedback loop. Snow cover reflects the majority of sunlight back into space, helping keep the planet cool. When snow is absent, much more sunlight is absorbed, leading to further warming. As 74 SCIENCE SCOPE temperatures continue to increase, more snow and sea ice melt, leaving the less reflective ocean water behind. This in turn absorbs more sunlight, increasing...

Next we read a few pages of the story together. I explained to students how my predictions had changed. It was then I completed the revised prediction portion of the worksheet. During this time, I had a few students raise their hands and share their thoughts about my initial and revised predictions. It was fun to see how their predictions were similar or different from mine. Once this portion of the lesson was complete, we finished reading the story. We then discussed as a large group how my predictions contrasted with the story. At this time students seemed anxious to share their thoughts.

This affected the overall strategy. Robert feels uncomfortable with the financial projections for the e-books strategic initiative. Will X. Harper: A well-established and well-known author on the �A� list, Will has reservations about e-books and is leading what has become known as the �author�s opposition group.� These are some of the few issues permeating the HK publishing and its new strategy. McGill, CEO, has to play some politics in order to move ahead with the e-book publishing project. While selecting projects for implementation in an organization, a major factor that influences project selection, funding, resource allocation or prioritization is the extent of individual and organizational politics. Organizational politics can be defined as actions by individuals or groups to acquire, develop and use power and other resources in order to obtain preferred outcomes when there is uncertainty or disagreement over choices.

...Concepts of Decision Making MMPBL/500 Foundations of Problem Based Learning Abstract Key concepts of decision making are a vital part of keeping a company successful and happy employees. There are many areas to take into consideration when applying these decisions. To begin managers must apply their critical thinking skills. As a manager you must choose a decision making concept. Then analyze the concept that is going to be used. Also take a close look at the symptoms and problems. As a manager some of these decisions need to be made immediately and other decisions may allow more time for consideration. Actually, managers sometime ignore the problems all together, leading to poor business (J.Champion and J.James). Decision Stages There are stages in order to make a decision. To begin the manager needs to identify and diagnose the problem. Usually a manager realizes some discrepancy in the current stage of the business and what the desired state of the business and what it needs to be. After the manager makes the decision he must believe the resources and abilities necessary for problem solving exist (Bateman, S. & Snell, S. (2004). Next the decision must be implemented. In some cases the individuals involved in making the decision will implement it, other times they will delegate it to other staff members. Evaluating the Decision Evaluating the decision is to collect information on how the decision is working. Decision making help a manager...
