...he problem with Compaq is that they developed too much IT architecture using financial advisory, where R&D and openness keys to development and the culture, while ignoring the environment. Open communication and trust was barricaded and destroyed by ASK (financial IS). The workers were being motivated by fear, much like Geneen in Morgan’s Images Of Organization. From an IT architecture standpoint, numbers based on the finance division depicted the entire company, even the organizational structure. The organizational structure did not align with the IT architecture, and the culture did not align with it either. Morgan stated, “The division of labor characteristic of industrial societies creates a problem of integration, or what may be more accurately described as a problem of integration, or what may be more accurately described as a problem of “cultural management.”” Compaq started as a functional structure, changed into a divisional fairly soon and then back to functional. Culture was strongly emphasized over anything else. CASH stated, “The process encompassed a whole range of ideas, including (1) the rule of inclusion, (2) teamwork, (3) “working the issue,” and (4) consensus building.” The IS system at Compaq did allow the free-flow of information through email named “B-mail.” ASK was used for financial services so that the company could easily track orders, and know where it stood financially. The culture felt monitored by ASK operators since it “becomes responsible for...

...Running head: SEXISM IN THE MEDIA 1 Sexism in the Media Ada Anderson Chamberlain College of Nursing/DeVry SOCS 185N: Sociology Feb, 24, 2013 SEXISM IN THE MEDIA 2 Television and commercial advertising have been a dominating force for over sixty years, and people learn to specialize and are trained to create ads that entertain and provoke the viewer into buying certain products. The main purposes of commercials are to stand out from competitors, and to sell an idea or way of life for those who allow themselves to become influenced by the appeal. Women and young girls are often subjected and greatly influenced by these advertisements, and many from an adolescent age will alter and pattern their lives to partially adhere to this televised fantasy. Often, some young girls use these forms of advertisements to psychologically change their views about themselves, and thus, may have an unhealthy attitude towards their body type or status in society. I would hope to analyze the effect that commercials have upon society, and how it can create a prejudice frame of mind through subtitle symbols. Television commercials are an agent of socialization and have been used to persuade the viewer into voting for a certain president, stereotyping a certain ethnic group or race because of comical value, using sex to make a product look appealing, or learning what qualities in a beer is important. Yet, although such trivial information exists in commercials and would permeate...

...10 second spot and went down forever as the first TV ad in the history of both the world and U.S. television advertising. By 1948, many additional advertisers were using television spots to reach the large audience that owned television sets. Television's spreading popularity merited the formation of the American Association of Advertising Agencies to regulate commercials. Television was so popular during that era that even the movie studios feared that television would dominate all other media! It's shocking to compare the first commercial's 9 dollar price tag to a modern day 30-second TV spot during the Super Bowl which costs several million dollars! The first TV commercial shown in Britain was for Gibbs S R Toothpaste, which lasted 60 seconds, and was broadcast on September 22, 1955. This commercial earned its place as a first in the history of TV advertising completely by chance. In a lottery drawn with 23 other commercials to determine who would go first, Gibbs S R Toothpaste was the one that came up the winner. The 1950s also brought about significant changes in television advertising. More advertising options became available and companies gained opportunities to sponsor entire programs that showcased their products. Kraft, Colgate, and General Electric were only a few of the companies that took advantage of this trend and sponsored their own shows. Networks began charging more money for these spots, which led to even more changes in the later decades. In the 1960s...

...Sprint-Resisted Training Rashad Jefferies FIT 125-G2 Sprint-Resisted Training Training within sports is a vital part of becoming a world class athlete. Without the proper training, workouts, diet and willingness to put the time and work in, becoming a world class athlete is not likely to happen in your future. We have grown up in our lives and have had visions and dreams of becoming our favorite player. There were times when we as children would try to emulate popular sports figures Michael Jordan, Carl Lewis, Barry Sanders, the late Walter Payton and Wayne Gretzky. These sports figures that I mentioned have been named as greats in their perspective sport and they did not get there by just talent alone. As I was growing up playing football, I wanted to be just like Walter Payton. The moves that he would perform on the football field week in and week out were amazing to my eyes and wanted to be just like him. Walter Payton had the total package; he had the moves, the strength and the speed to make defenders miss or he was able to just run right through a defender or outrun anyone trying to chase him down. He was just pure poetry on the football field. I was a good sized young football player up until the age of 13 when I stopped growing. I had the strength, because of doing push-ups and lifting weights, while my moves were also great because I practiced them every week. The only problem that I had left was becoming a faster back...

...related to a 1994 episode of the CBS news show 60 Minutes that never aired. The plot puts Dr. Jeffrey Wigand (Russell Crowe) at odds with Brown & Williamson, the third largest tobacco companies in the country. Wigand was fired from his position as Vice President of Research and Development, at which he was instructed to hide information related to the addictive nature of nicotine. The plot takes off when Lowell Bergman (Al Pacino), producer for 60 Minutes, discovers that Wigand has a story to tell. The best way for Wigand to tell that story is with the help of Bergman, via an interview aired on 60 Minutes. However, tobacco companies have a history of viciously defending their profits, by whatever means necessary, and Brown & Williamson does just that. The story hits a climax as the interests and incentives of the television station CBS, 60 Minutes, Dr. Wigand and Brown & Williamson are played out. Portrayal of Business The film portrays business in an extremely negative light. It focuses on two central conflicts – one between Brown & Williamson and Wigand, the other between CBS Corporation and Bergman. Brown & Williamson is the primary antagonist. The film is ripe with examples of the bad things they do. Their principle, most damaging offense is deceit. They are charged with covering up the addictive properties of nicotine and finding ways to exploit it to increase profits. For example, in Wigand’s interview for 60 Minutes, he says that tobacco companies view...

...1) Which are the stakeholders of CBS News? * Stakeholder of CBS news are Ms Helen Caperelli, Mr Eric Cluster, Don Hewitt, Lowell Bergman, Mike Wallace, Jeffrey Wigand, CBS corporate, and all the employees directly or indirectly related to it. 2) Had CBS News established trust in its relations with all its stakeholders? Please justify your answer. * No, CBS has not been able to establish relations to all its stakeholders. It was seen in the later part of the movie that when CBS management kill the story of doctor vegan by fearing that a law suit by big tobacco would put at risk its proposed merger with Westing house and the multimillion dollar bonuses that were to be paid to CBS executive. Hence, they broke up their trust with all its stakeholders by backing up just for the profit of the company. 3) Was trust necessary between CBS News and its employee/ sources? Why do you say so? Would your answer differ if the industry was different? Why? * Yes, necessarily there has to be trust between CBS and its employees. While honesty and integrity are the basis for stakeholder trust across the board, those stakeholders that interact extensively with the organisation need to perceive authentic concern for their well-being to continue their trust. In other words, even well-meaning, ethically driven organisations can destroy trust if they are seen as being “fair but callous” when it comes to managing relationships with their most important stakeholders...

...1. Kelly would be entitled to the 20-foot strip if that was agreement stated in the contract and if Brown knew that Kelly’s main goal was to eventually regain possession of his 20-foot strip of land. However, if Kelly and Brown just orally agreed that the 20-foot strip would be reconveyed to Kelly than Kelly is not entitled to get his 20-foot strip back because it was a sale of real estate and it needed to be in writing. All contracts to sell land, buildings, or interests in land must be evidenced by a writing. The ethical issue is that Brown knew that Kelly wanted his 30-foot strip back but he doesn’t legally have to give it back to him because it was written down in their contract although they orally agreed to it. Brown is unethical for not giving Kelly’s 20-foot strip back. But, Kelly might be able to get his land back because this is an issue involving promissory estoppel and Kelly relied on the promise made by Brown in order to validate his decision to sell to Brown under the terms defined in the written contract. 3.

...Igor Sikorsky’s Flying Empire I am Russian-Ukrainian, from an Eastern Ukrainian city of Ivano-Frankovks. My grandparents from my father’s side are from Russia, and my mother’s side of the family is Ukrainian, thus making me a combination of both. Being Russian in the Eastern part of Ukraine is pretty uncommon, as the eastern part closer to Poland speaks Ukrainian, and the Western part of the country mostly speaks Russian. Ukraine was occupied by Poland and Lithuania in the 14th century. Ukrainian peasants who fled the Polish who forced them into slavery came to be known as Cossacks. The Cossacks created their own colonies and led several uprisings against Polish rule, but ultimately they turned to the Russians for security. The country became one of the republics within the Soviet Union in 1922. Ukraine gained independence after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. From the nine years that I lived in Ukraine, and the many summers that I’ve spend there after coming to United States, I’ve come to realize that it’s a very beautiful country, with breath taking Carpathian mountains, and the cold Black Sea. Both Ukrainian, and Russian cosines are delicious, with the cultural menus ranging from borsch to the famous pirogues, and my favorite being blini (also known as crepes). Although Ukraine is a wonderful country to spend summers in, but economically and politically the country is currently not doing very well, especially with the ongoing protests that began last...

...EXECUTIVE SUMMARY There is an increasing desire for the implementation of condition based maintenance programs to replace the traditional hour based maintenance on Military rotor wing aircraft. There are several advantages and disadvantages to this type of maintenance. The purpose of this paper is to discuss both and the affect that they play in regards to the organizational behavior of a business. There are distinct advantages in regards to cost when we talk about condition based maintenance. Replacing a part only when it is likely to fail saves the cost of replacement at a possible earlier time like in a phase based program, or catching a part that might have failed prior to the required hour inspection or replacement time. But this new technology comes with a cost. A cost, not only monetary, but also within the organizational behavior of a corporation or organization such as the military. When we talk about Managing change and stress, we have to talk about the external forces of change effecting these technological advancements. The technology of condition based maintenance is justified through the savings it generates through the maintenance program but what cost will it have on the people working on these aircraft? Will there be a reduction in jobs? This concern can start trouble, rumors, and decreased production from employees that normally work hard. What effect will it have on the organizational design? Will there be an increase or decrease in managerial roles? Will there...

...of life of the local residents, which will be done through profit allocation. To promote new businesses in the economy, the government of Kava puts forth incentives like tax breaks and licensing at low costs. Thus, now is the perfect time to bring this plan to fruition. Sikorsky Aircraft already is a player in the global market, and I assert that a Kav’ian subsidiary would be a smart investment. In recent years, Kava has experienced multiple natural disasters. As a result, the community has been ravaged and many families are now experiencing poverty. Sikorsky’s production facility there would give job opportunities to the local people: they could work in the low-level line production jobs that would help the production of the standard H-60 Black Hawk airframe. Part of the profits that would be earned thanks to the cut in labor costs would be dedicated to a revival for the local community. Sikorsky plans to make contributions to community centers, improved housing, disaster relief, activities, and the educational system. Of course, some organizational obstacles block the path of a successful establishment of a Sikorsky Aircraft facility on Kava. The most noteworthy obstacle is the gap in education between the residents’ knowledge of the construction of helicopter frames, and what would be necessary for them to know so that their finished product would be a quality one. It is fortuitous that the residents of...

...Argument Analysis Clint Chapman Ivy Tech University ENGL 112 Exposition and Persuasion Tolulope Idowu 2/13/2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yzeCsv-qrM Abstract I’m going to analyze an advertisement for the wildly successful video game, Call of Duty: Black Ops. We will look at the audience the video is intending to reach, and the message it is trying to get across. Its about a minute long and features a few celebrities, but mostly just normal people in a war time setting. It looks to be well produced, and it was generally well received by anyone who viewed it. Youtube, black ops, call of duty, advertisement,analysis Call of Duty Analysis In November of 2010 the latest installment of the wildly successful video game franchise, Call of Duty was released. It was known as Call of Duty: Black Ops, and is first person shooter set in the height of the cold war era. There was an intense media and advertising blitz, mostly online and in print, but there was one notable commercial. As someone who has played all of these games, and usually at the top of the leaderboard when I do play, I was already excited before I saw the commercial. The commercial is trying to appeal to a wide range of people, not just the typical 15-24 year old male that this game appeals too. Those people already know about the game, have more than likely already pre-ordered it, and will be waiting at midnight to pick it up. This commercial is obviously not for them. It is, however...

...Maj. Marie T. Rossi took the driver’s seat flying fuel and ammunition to the soldiers crossing into enemy territory. Rossi lost her life when her CH-47 Chinook helicopter went down on March 1, 1991. Her headstone reads, “The first female commander to fly into battle.” she certainly was not the last. Today, women of the 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade continue changing the face of the battlefield by joining the fight as combat aviators, crew chiefs, and helicopter mechanics, showcasing their skills and leadership abilities. Lt. Col. Gail E. Atkins, commander, 122nd Aviation Support Battalion, 82nd CAB, is no stranger to the changing role of women in combat aviation. The Westchester, Pa., native has served for almost 18 years as a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter pilot. “We are seeing an evolution with regard to women in combat roles, in how our skills have evolved and how we are exploiting those skills,” Atkins said. “In aviation, we went through this back in 93’, when the military opened up attack aviation to women, so we are 15 years ahead of the curve in aviation compared to where our other branches are.” Throughout her career, Atkins has seen an increase in number of women who serve alongside her. “I have an all female staff right now and it’s just the way it has worked out. But I think it is indicative of the number of women who are joining the service,” Atkins said. Other women have seen changes in their career fields since joining the Army, including Chief...
