...supportive behavior” (James, 2003). In working with his team, Vyas demonstrates this type of behavior when forming his team. He ensured to hire individuals who he felt had the experience and knowledge in the areas of the work and was vital to the Filtration Unit’s task of product development. Vyas showed trust in his team’s abilities and capabilities by giving them the opportunity to work independently and make decisions to produce a valuable product. He gained the trust of the leadership team by keeping himself updated on all important areas of the project and knew based on his team’s findings that the project was worth pursuing financially. Vyas leadership style and keenness was proven when he hired Janice Wagner to perform market research on the project. Vyas directive and delegating style of leadership as the team leader to Wagner and her six person team proved successful in trying to launch the single new product or concept in the Infiltration Unit. Once Vyas received the information he had complied together with Janice Wagner he reached out to get approval for a third and final time to launch the product under this direction. What leadership style did Vyas’ boss, Cynthia Jackson, exhibit as she considered the proposal? Cynthia Jackson shows more of a consultative style of leadership. This style of leadership deals with a “strong emphasis on the supportive dimension, but there is still a high emphasis on the task itself” (James, 2003, p. 82). Cynthia Jackson...

...‘Who is Veredus’ competitor?’ Identify one such competitor and write why you view it as a competitor of Veredus. Life Technologies is a company formed through the merger of Invitrogen Corporation and Applied Biosystems Incorporated. However, for the rest of the assignment, I would be referring the competitor as Applied Biosystems Inc., as Life Technologies was formed only in November 2008. The development of the TaqMan Influenza A/H5 Detection Kit otherwise known as the avian flu detection kit was produced in 2006 before the merger. Thus, Applied Biosystems would be the more appropriate company for the comparison instead. Applied Biosystems Inc. was first established in 1981, and has a reputation for producing top quality instruments for diagnostic research. Moreover, the scales of both companies differ greatly. Applied Biosystems has approximately 5000 staff that work under them whereas Veredus has about 20-30 staff. The level of technology and expertise that the firm possesses is equivalent to that of a listed company, in order for Veredus Laboratories to be able to compete with such big market players in the industry and to emerge as a formidable force to be reckon with,. Thus, Applied Biosystems is definitely a strong competitor of Veredus Laboratories with its vast experience. Applied Biosystems developed the TaqMan Influenza A/H5 Detection Kit (Taqman) in 2006, which is capable of detecting the avian influenza in laboratory samples reliably and quickly. Instead of the...

...Applied Research Technologies Margaret Celeste Moten Project Management – BUS 518 David Plumer Strayer University January 22, 2012 Abstract The Filtration Unit at Applied Research Technologies, Inc. is facing a small crisis. Management must either turn things around or dissolve the unit. This paper discusses the leadership styles exhibited by two managers, Peter Vyas and Cynthia Jackson, as they decide whether to accept a proposal for $2 million to re-launch a previously failed product. The paper then closes with a summary of my personal leadership style and a real world example of leadership in action. Applied Research Technologies Peter Vyas’ Leadership Style Peter Vyas is exhibiting participative leadership. Individuals using this style of leadership place low emphasis on the task but consideration or support for the follower is high (Lewis, 2003, p. 82). Vyas’ leadership style is in line with the culture of the organization – innovation and entrepreneurship. He gives the “what” but allows the team to come up with the “how”. Vyas is concerned with high performance but he’s equally, if not more, concerned with making sure the emotional needs of the team are being met. Participative leaders value their people and encourage them to stay involved and share their ideas. The leader actively seeks input from the team when making decisions or solving problems but retains the final say when choices are made. Research has shown that participative leadership...

...ANALYSIS OF SUCCESS FACTORS OF GOOGLE INC. We know that today, Google is the number 1 search engine in the world with millions and billions of search results available in any part of the world. There are certain factors that have made Google a success since its inception. “Some of the key success factors of Google are Technology, Innovation, Building a Brand, User Experience, Acquisition” 1. Technology: The reason behind the google’s success of providing the fastest search on the internet is its “Pigeon Rank” technology. With the help of Pigeon rank, google can provide the user the fastest result of the desired information. Pigeon Rank works much faster than the technology developed by Yahoo and Microsoft. The reason why PigeonRank works so efficiently is that it has been developed in such a way that it can identify the objects related to the specific search from the content lying anywhere on the internet. The Pigeon Rank can also distinguish the results even with the mere difference between them. Google’s technology has two parts working efficiently namely the “Software Engineering and the Hardware Engineering”. The Software Engineering part deals with the Page ranking, which essentially ranks the sites based on the links associated to them. Software Engineering means writing some query and then to think how the computer works in order to give the data in a fraction of second. Hardware Engineering part deals with the decreasing of the cost by building its own servers....

The great majority of companies already has this information and prepare themselves to compete in this new era through the elaboration of daring strategies, although feasible. According to Porter (1996), the strategy essence remains in choosing activities to be made in a different manner or in the execution of different activities in relation to the competitors. What happens, many times, is that the strategies are not put in operation because they do not arrive until the...

...Employers and employees often have conflicting interests in the workplace. One of these conflicting interests concerns the privacy rights and considerations of the employees versus the rights of the employer to monitor the activities of its employees. A relaxed, comfortable workplace promotes good morale but too much comfort can result in a workforce that takes their responsibilities for granted. Achieving a happy medium is the ultimate goal. The development of modern technology has provided employers with increased opportunity to monitor the activities of their employees both on the job and off. Telephone, computers, voice mail, and the internet have provided employers with vehicles that were not available just a decade or so ago. Because of the newness of such devices, regulations and laws governing the use of them are not well developed. As a result, at the present time, employers are enjoying virtually unfettered opportunities to listen, watch, and read most anything and everything that their employees are doing while at work. Some more aggressive employers are even using such devices to do the same in regard to their employees’ private lives as well. In limited cases, some corporations and businesses have enacted policies limiting such interventions by the company but there are very few such companies. The concept of privacy is complicated. What is private for one person may not be for another and when it comes to privacy in the workplace the issue becomes even more complicated...

...and future development of information technology infrastructure can satisfy both categories. Using my Strategic implementation our organization can continue to develop employees while reducing cost associated with the training. Information technology can develop the workforce, and increase the profitability. In my research I investigated all aspects of employment development known as E-Learning. I applied this advanced training methodology to my current company for direct analysis. I wanted to develop a plan based on the research that could present to the company showing the advantages of E-learning. Even though I don’t have direct financial access to all of the company’s resources, I could still show the fiscal impact of my research and request a proposal for implementation. Keywords: E-Learning, infrastructure, costing, development, advantages, information technology E-Learning: Employee Training and Development When reviewing the company’s strategic plan I noticed a decreased budget in training and development without a qualitative solution to supplement the change in planning.
