...Assessment Task: Critically assess management practices and the impact of culture upon them, including work, motivation, entrepreneurship, leadership and team-working. Impact of culture on work Management practices are task oriented and relationship oriented. Task oriented relationship is that in which the head fixates on the tasks which need to be accomplished in order to meet several goals or to complete a certain work standard. On the other hand, relationship oriented is a behavior dependent which could be the satisfaction focused by the leader as well as ordinary health of the team members. To illustrate this , Australian are task oriented in that they want to get a job done while Indians are more relationship focused; more interested in the way they work with other colleagues. Moreover in a task focused relationship there would be high turnover, whereas in the relationship focused the leader is trust worthy. Impact of culture on Motivation Motivation is a state arising in processes that are internal and external to the individual, in which the person perceives that it is appropriate to pursue a certain course of action directed at achieving a specified outcome (Rollinson ,2005, pp.189). Motivation depends on the relationship and cultural factors in which performance plays an important role. In task focused relationship progress and productivity of the individual is measured. On the other hand, in relationship oriented motivation, comfort and feelings...

"But its gets darker still: We were all in the interest of personal entertainment. We purchased, ate and drove more. Furthermore, paid for it with obligation, diabetes and contamination. "We mortgaged our future," he contends. "Also, called it freedom." This book comes at a basic intersection. Amid a period when every Western nation is wagering hard on a full recovery from the considerable worldwide subsidence, this unprecedented attempt to spend our way back to conventional - through numerous billions in bailout and help dollars - is making new danger. Besides, it's not by virtue...

...Dave For POST GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN MANAGEMENT-IB (2013- 2015) BIRLA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY GREATER NOIDA (U.P.) Background & Importance: Amul is a joint ownership of 3 million milk producers, established in 1946, in Anand, a small town in the state of Gujarat, India. It is managed by the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF). The exploitive and egregious trade practices of the local trade cartel triggered off a White Revolution. During this time, the milk producers the area went on milk strike refusing to be cowed down by the cartel. Under the guidance of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, an Indian social leader, the milk producers got rid of the middlemen and formed their own cooperative which included procurement, processing and marketing. With the assistance of great social reformers such as Morarji Desai and Tribhuvandas Patel, the cooperative was registered on 14th December, 1946 as the ‘Kaira District Co-operative Milk Producers Union Limited’. This co-operative, which began with only two village dairy co-operative societies producing 247 litres of milk, is today better known as Amul Dairy. Currently AMUL has about 3.1 million producer members with an annual turnover of US $ 2.54 million. Today AMUL is a symbol of High-quality products sold at reasonable prices, genesis of a vast co-operative network and a proven model for dairy development. Today, GCMMF is India’s largest exporter of dairy products. Objective: To study the different...

...One of the main characters in the film Slum Dog Millionaire, directed by Danny Boyle is Salim. He is a slum dog who originally comes from the slum in India. He is the brother of Jamal who is a contestant on a game show called: “Who wants to be a millionaire”. In the first round of the game show, Jamal wins 10 million rupees, and only lacks one question from winning 20 million rupees. Since he is a slumdog, and could not possibly know all these answers, they accuse him of cheating. The whole movie shows why he actually know all of the answers, not because he is particularly smart, but because of happenings in his life. I would say that Salim is a round character. When we first see him, he is a little boy in the slum who watches his mother getting brutally killed right in front of his eyes. Salim and his brother Jamal is now on their own. In the start both of the brothers is kind of similar and equal. But after they meet Lateeka and end up in the house with all the future beggars, we can see that the Salim is developing. He is a much more rough character than Jamal, and is quickly given a “leader” position in the house. He is loud and is not afraid of saying what he thinks. When he finds out that they is going to make Jamal blind, he shows a good side of himself and rescues them. When they find Latheeka again after many years separated from her, Salim changes and throws Jamal out of an empty apartment they find. Again we see that he is a “bad” boy. And whole through the film we...

...This panel was about the Puvi Patel case that I didn’t know about until attending this panel. I learned that the Purvi Patel case was about an Asian woman that is being sentenced 20 years on charges of feticide and neglect. I made the statement about her being Asian to bring of up the fact there may have been some racism involved here that one of the panel speakers mentioned. I learned that Puvi Patel was charged with neglect when she didn’t meet the 5 requirements for it to be considered neglect, and the feticide charge was created to protect women that were pregnant not to use on pregnant women. I found it interesting that the only thing they had evidence for was her trying to get an abortion that wasn’t medically done, which they didn’t...

Mahatma Gandhi was, and still is, an inspirational leader who impacts the world and as well as a political and spiritual leader of India. Also still the great leader in India since past to present. He fought for India's rights, and for freedom from British and finally led India into independence.

...The period from 1920 to 1947 had been described as the Gandhian Era in Indian Politics. During the period, Gandhi spoke the final word on behalf of the Indian National Congress in negotiating with the British Government for constitutional reforms, and for chalking out a programme for the national movement. Mahatma Gandhi led the national freedom struggle against the British rule. The most unique thing about this struggle was that it was completely nonviolent. Mohan Das Karamchand Gandhi was born on 2nd October, 1869 at Porbandar in Gujarat. After finishing his early education in India, he sailed to England in 1891 and qualified as Barrister. In 1894, Gandhi went to South Africa in connection with a law suit. The political career of Gandhi started in South Africa where he launched a Civil Disobedience Movement against the maltreatment meted out to Asian settlers. In 1916, he returned to India and took up the leadership of National Freedom Struggle. After the death of freedom fighter and congress leader Bal Gangadhar Tilak on August, 1920, Gandhi became virtually the sole navigator of the ship of the congress. Gandhi had whole heartedly supported the British during the 1st World War (1914-1919). The end of war, however, did not bring the promised freedom for India. So Gandhiji launched many movements to force the British to concede India its Independence. The well known being: Non Co-operation Movement (1920), Civil Disobedience Movement (1930) and Quit India Movement (1942)...

...Short Essay on Mahatma Gandhi Full name of 'Mahatma Gandhi' was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. He was born in Porbandar of Gujarat, India on 2 October 1869. After passing the Matric Examination he went to England for higher studies. Gandhiji completed his law in England and came back to India in 1893. He started his career as a lawyer. Gandhiji started his legal practice in South Africa. In South Africa he faced many hurdles. He discovered that white men were ill treating the dark Indians there. He himself was tortured and insulted by the white often. One day, he was traveling in a first class compartment of a train. He had booked a ticket for him. Still he was evacuated and punished out of the compartment by the white men. Gandhiji fought against this unjust and cruel treatment. He observed Satyagraha there and became successful. Gandhiji returned to India and took part in freedom fight. He was sent to jail many times. Now all the countrymen were with him. He started the Non-co-operation in 1930 and the Quit India Movement in 1942. He became famous as the 'Father of Nation'. Due to his leadership, ultimately India got freedom on 15th August 1947. Gandhiji's style of living was very simple. He was follower of 'Simple living, high thinking'. He taught us the lesson of 'Ahimsa'. He removed the caste barrier in India. He was a reformer. He was shot dead by an Indian on his way to attend a prayer on 30 January, 1948. Mahatma Gandhi is remembered in the world for his major...

...The authors of this article, Mary Jo Murphy and Sona Patel, claim that women have existed for centuries with less opportunity than men. As explicitly stated, “...there was a distinct possibility that this 227-year-old gender barrier would be hurdled...”(paragraph 1). This implies that a gender block is of presence, but not for much longer. In persuasion of this claim, the authors use the rhetorical device of pathos. Pathos are an appeal to the emotions of the audience, and extract the feelings already within them. An example of this from the text is, “The man who ran the center was usually very helpful to me...He looked at me and said, I don’t know, that program has a really high learning curve; it’s really hard.”(7th story).

...Overview The history of civil aviation in India began in December 1912. At the time of independence, the number of air transport companies, which were operating within and beyond the frontiers of the company, carrying both air cargo and passengers, was nine. In early 1948, a joint sector company, Air India International Ltd., was established by the Government of India and Air India (earlier Tata Airline) with a capital of Rs 2 crore and a fleet of three Lockheed constellation aircraft. Its first flight took off on June 8, 1948 on the Mumbai (Bombay)-London air route. At the time of its nationalization in 1953, it was operating four weekly services between Mumbai-London and two weekly services between Mumbai and Nairobi. The joint venture was headed by J.R.D. Tata, a visionary who had founded the first India airline in 1932 and had himself piloted its inaugural flight. Current Trend in Civil Aviation Industry in India It is a phase of rapid growth in the industry due to huge build-up of capacity in the LCC space, with capacity growing at approximately 45% annually. This has induced a phase of intense price competition with the incumbent full service carriers (Jet, Indian, Air Sahara) dis-counting to 60-70% for certain routes to match the new entrants ticket prices. This, coupled with costs pressures (a key cost element, ATF price, went up approximately 35% in recent months, while staff costs are also rising on the back of shortage of trained personnel), is exerting bottom-line...
