...Hawaii is the most culturally diverse state in Hawaii, but how did it become the melting pot it is today? In the 1800s, factors like poverty, famine, annexation, and war drove many people out of their homelands, forcing them to emigrate to a place with better living conditions. Many different ethnicities such as the Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Filipino, Puerto Rican, Portuguese, and Samoan came to Hawaii in hope of a better life. Japanese people introduced new foods to the culture.

...Value Chain Analysis M. Porter introduced the generic value chain model in 1985. Value chain represents all the internal activities a firm engages in to produce goods and services. VC is formed of primary activities that add value to the final product directly and support activities that add value indirectly. Michael Porter published the Value Chain Analysis in 1985 as a response to criticism that his Five Forces framework lacked an implementation methodology that bridged the gap between internal capabilities and opportunities in the competitive landscape. This framework focused on industry attractiveness as a determinant of the profit potential of all companies within that particular industry. However, significant differences in performance exist between companies operating within the same industry that can be explained either by the company's participation in a successful strategic group or by a firm's specific competitive advantages. THE VALUE CHAIN DEFINED The idea of a value chain was first suggested by Michael Porter (1985) to depict how customer value accumulates along a chain of activities that lead to an end product or service. Porter describes the value chain as the internal processes or activities a company performs “to design, produce, market, deliver and support its product.” He further states that “a firm’s value chain and the way it performs individual activities are a reflection of its history, its strategy, its approach to implementing its strategy, and the underlying...

...organizational theories. Organizational literature offers a broad amount of tools that can help managers in their decision making processes. Even though theories are not rules, they are based on observation and data collection over the years, and are accepted among scholars (Vibert and Hurst, 2003). Consequently, learning the theories that scholars have written in the past (and in the present) help managers to create a portfolio of frameworks to solve the problems they might face in their organizations. Moreover, managers who excel the practice of organizational theories become more critical individuals; improve effectiveness within their organizations and develop the ability to predict organizational behavior. Based on the above, this paper pretends to put into practice the theories and concepts learned so far in the academic course Organization Theory. Accordingly, this script summarizes the practical analysis of the case presented in Jermier’s work “When the Sleeper Wakes”: A Short Story Extending Themes in Radical Organization Theory (Jermier, 1985). This critical analysis will focus on explaining the main concepts of the Anti-Theory; and then to compare and contrast the premises of this school of thought with the models described by classical theorists of organization-administration. The case: “When the Sleeper Wakes”: A Short Story Extending Themes in Radical Organization Theory (Jermier, 1985) This case relates two stories of a man who works for a...
