In my organization, everyone has to be accountable for their own actions and responsible for their own success and failures.

With that being said, if you are great at playing follow the leader, there will be no reason for a great deal of innovation because all that needs to be done, has been done. The one innovation that is promoted is the way to build confidence and posture.

...culture of requesting donations of day-old products approached Company Q. The grocery retailer refused the request citing concerns their employees might steal valuable food and say the opposite effect. On the other hand, actions that include donations of food to local charities and display social responsibility will increase foot traffic and revenue. Important to remember is that Company Q has a responsibility to its stakeholders to conduct business in an ethical manner and wasting food is not ethical. Employees want to work for a company that takes care of them and appreciates them. B. Three actions that company Q could take to improve the company’s attitude toward social responsibility. 1) First, Company Q should establish a company wide social responsibility program to promote a sense of obligation to the company mission statement. Company Q’s charitable efforts in the community, will encourage each employee to make Company Q a success. In this way, Company Q’s stakeholders will gain a sense of pride in their investment and place of employment. In addition, all stakeholders should be made aware of all 2) promote organizational ethics and values. Included in this effort should be an adherence to a code of conduct by all direct stakeholders.

...following is an account of one emerging trend in strategic leadership that has been selected for this research. Emerging Trend in Strategic Leadership The most significant emerging trend that has been selected is the “deployment of leaders in all areas of the organization”, which is observd to be quite beneficial for organizations. A reflection on the fact too obvious related to the emergence of this trend of strategic leadership arises from a traditional model of leadership operating from the top of a hierarchical structure, it is no longer relevant nor sufficient to manage complexity, volatility and uncertainty of the business environment so focused knowledge and transformation, like the present (Morrill, 2010). It can not be admitted that a handful of privileged people at the top of the organizational structure of the company, are sufficiently insightful, skilled and competent enough to successfully assume the definition and monitoring of the strategic guidelines of a company. In today’s competitive business environment, cross-fertilization of ideas is required. This would in turn it appeal to the intellectual diversity of people with unique talents, and need of competition at different functional perspectives. All this will be relevant in a newly minted company, whose leaders in their diligent effort to challenge the business activity shall contrast many opinions and creative ideas as possible, necessary and desirable. Only in...

...The Heart of Change Review Introduction What is organizational change? Organizational change occurs when a company makes a strategic effort to improve the performance of the organization or functions of the organization, such as a group or a practice. The goal of organizational change is to increase the effectiveness of the change effort, while decreasing employee opposition and the cost associated with the change. Change is inevitable in today’s business community if an organization wants to remain competitive and to increase profits. With an increase in globalization and advancements in technology, companies are forced to make changes if they want to stay in business. Unfortunately, most change efforts fail due to resistance and lack of support. Most people are afraid of change, and managers have to be very skilled in getting the employees to commit to implementing the changes. Successful change efforts are based on individuals at the organization responding positively to the transformation. So what can an organization do to bring about successful change? Research suggests that change is more effective when it’s driven from within by the upper management team of the organization. Employees are more than likely to buy into the effort if they feel it’s being supported by the top brass. If the employees get a sense that upper management is not championing the cause, then they will not support it. In addition, the change effort must also tie in with the culture...

...Q#1 Marketing has been described as being both an "art" and a "science." Discuss the differences and similarities between these two marketing thrusts. Provide your theoretical response and a "real-life" example where you have seen both processes work effectively at creating customer value and loyalty Marketing is defined as the science and art of exploring, shaping and fulfilling the need of the customers. As it is manifested in the definition that Marketing is a blend of Science and Art; therefore, it can be inferred that both the terms have a strong connection with it. Science is the study of theories and phenomena related to the physical world based on systematic experiments and observation while Arts is the practical reflection of human’s creativity and imagination. Marketing if taken as a science means considering all relevant variables and forecast that are crucial for the marketing or business on rational, systematic pattern. In contrast, when it is taken as Arts it is considered as the idea, soul, essence, spirit and the metaphysical characteristics of business that is actually helping it to thrive and prosper. For Instance, before launching a new product, all the necessary research is carried out on rational grounds. All the variables like market trend, number of competitors, price, product placement, marketing strategy and tactical plan are evaluated systematically. The use of historical data or past performance is also used in doing this. In a word; it involves...

...PAK ELEKTRON LIMITED: CONVERTING SYSEMS TO ERP Q: ERP projects are ecxpensive and risky. Why did PEL decide to embark on an ERP implementation project? Since the turn of 21st century, as the modern technology becomes enormously developed, there has been another development of IT-driven organizational transformation. Old legacy systems are gradually replaced by newly developed more enterprise-wide suites of integrated systems which is known as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. The idea of totally integrated super-system as an ERP system was initiated 30 years ago, but due to some constraints, it was impossible to be real in practical. However, ERP systems provide fast, reliable, integrated enterprise-wide information architecture for a business replacing legacy system that is expensive to maintain. Two-tier ERP software and hardware lets companies run the equivalent of two systems at once: one at the corporate level and one at division or subsidiary level. Both will have an independent control and the main function of two-tier ERP software is to manage across the organization. Since these smaller company’s processes and workflows are not tied to the main company’s processes and workflows, they can respond to local business requirements in multiple locations. The era of newly developed E-commerce attracts the corporations whether it is new or existing ones. The most important advantage is that systems are integrated as one unit. In mid-1990s, the Internet gave businesses...

...ROWE Program at Best Buy Tracey D. Battle Strayer University Leadership & Organizational Behavior BUS 520 Professor Bruce Macdonald December 12, 2011 Abstract Best Buy introduced the ROWE Program to reduce stress and overwork in their employees at their headquarters. The agenda basically allows you to work from anywhere, any hours you choose, as long as the job gets done.

After the ROWE Program’s implementation, productivity has increased and voluntary turnover has decreased. Jody Thompson pioneered the Result-Only Work Environment (ROWE) in the Best Buy Corporation. This action was instrumental in introducing the concept of culture Rx. Culture Rx offered a customized consultancy services as per the needs of the clients with ROWE as its core philosophy.
