...Name Institution Instructor Date The first thing to understand in the project is that there was a shortage of man power at the site. Reduction in productivity can be caused by very many factors including lack of motivation or lack of necessary equipments to work with (Maslow, Abraham H,1954). The case of the first foreman who said that he wished they are had abundant man power he could have flushed out the loafers, thus statement by itself is not relevant in this case. For the foreman to comment, he could have first gone to the field and do a deep research for the reasons behind poor productivity of the project. In most cases flushing out of the man power is not always a source of motivation but may sometimes act like one. On the other hand, retrenchment sometimes increase productivity since each and every worker always tries his or her best to improve on his or her productivity in order to prevent him or her from being fired( Bindra, Dalbir, and Jane Stewart, 2001). Therefore the statement by the first foreman can act as a motivation even if it is not the best. The second statement about the goldbricks is not at all a motivation in any way. There is no work that can become successful or productive without the cooperation of each and every party involved in a particular project (Maslow, Abraham H., and Robert Frager, 1987). The foreman says that he could trust some people in the project that is the crew foreman and the journey men but he disrespected the boomers. If...

...Dow Chemical’s Acquisition of Rohm & Haas (2008-2009) MGT 4066 Professor Jayaraman December 7, 2010 Joseph Dennis Kunal Parbadia Robert Pirkle Will Weston Yash Ghogre Overview In mid 2008, Dow Chemical found itself in an industry that had recently been experiencing some consolidation. As one of the giants in the chemical material industry, it needed to maintain its position as an industry leader or else it would probably lose its foothold near the top. Then there is the target, Rohm & Haas, a smaller chemical materials firm, yet still considered a rival of Dow Chemical. Both companies had been in operation for a combined 200 years and have been creating innovative materials that each and every one of us see or use in our everyday lives without even noticing. On July 10, 2008, Dow Chemical announced the acquisition of Rohm & Haas, which had been approved by the Rohm & Haas Board of Directors. This deal occurred during one of the toughest economic times in recent history, which eventually had a profound effect on not only the financial structuring, but also the final execution of the deal, as you will see in the pages to come. About Dow Chemical The Dow Chemical Company was founded on May 18th, 1897 when Herbert H. Dow established a plan to both manufacture and market bleach and potassium bromide on a factory scale level. In the early years of the company’s existence there was a series of pricing wars between both British and German manufacturers of bleach...

...A Preface of Quotations Whoever desires for his writings or himself, what none can reasonably condemn,the favor of mankind, must add grace to strength, and make his thoughts agreeable as well as useful. Many complain of neglect who never tried to attract regard. It cannot be expected that the patrons of science or virtue should be solicitous to discover excellencies which they who possess them shade and disguise. Few have abilities so much needed by the rest of the world as to be caressed on their own terms; and he that will not condescend to recommend himself by external embellishments must submit to the fate of just sentiments meanly expressed, and be ridiculed and forgotten before he is understood. --Samuel Johnson Men must be taught as if you taught them not; And things unknown propos'd as things forgot. --Alexander Pope Style in painting is the same as in writing, a power over materials, whether words or colors, by which conceptions or sentiments are conveyed. --Sir Joshua Reynolds Whereas, if after some preparatory grounds of speech by their certain forms got into memory, they were led to the praxis thereof in some chosen short book lessoned thoroughly to them, they might then forthwith proceed to learn the substance of good things, and arts in due order, which would bring the whole language quickly into their power. --John Milton Introduction Good writing depends upon more than making a collection of statements worthy of belief, because writing is intended to...

...FULL TITLE · The Canterbury Tales AUTHOR · Geoffrey Chaucer TYPE OF WORK · Poetry (two tales are in prose: the Tale of Melibee and the Parson’s Tale) GENRES · Narrative collection of poems; character portraits; parody; estates satire; romance; fabliau LANGUAGE · Middle English TIME AND PLACE WRITTEN · Around 1386–1395, England DATE OF FIRST PUBLICATION · Sometime in the early fifteenth century PUBLISHER · Originally circulated in hand-copied manuscripts NARRATOR · The primary narrator is an anonymous, naïve member of the pilgrimage, who is not described. The other pilgrims narrate most of the tales. POINT OF VIEW · In the General Prologue, the narrator speaks in the first person, describing each of the pilgrims as they appeared to him. Though narrated by different pilgrims, each of the tales is told from an omniscient third-person point of view, providing the reader with the thoughts as well as actions of the characters. TONE · The Canterbury Tales incorporates an impressive range of attitudes toward life and literature. The tales are by turns satirical, elevated, pious, earthy, bawdy, and comical. The reader should not accept the naïve narrator’s point of view as Chaucer’s. TENSE · Past SETTING (TIME) · The late fourteenth century, after 1381 SETTING (PLACE) · The Tabard Inn; the road to Canterbury PROTAGONISTS · Each individual tale has protagonists, but Chaucer’s plan is to make none of his storytellers superior to others; it is an equal company.

...PART ONE • UNDERSTANDING SERVICES SERVICES IN THE MODERN ECONOMY As consumers, we use services every day. Turning on a light, watching TV, talking on the telephone, riding a bus, visiting the dentist, mailing a letter, getting a haircut, refueling a car, writing a check, or sending clothes to the cleaners are all examples of service consumption at the individual level. T h e institution at which you are studying is itself a c o m p l e x service organization. In addition to educational services, today's college facilities usually include libraries and cafeterias, counseling, a bookstore, placement offices, copy services, telecommunications, and even a bank. If you are enrolled at a residential university, campus services are also likely to include dormitories, health care, indoor and o u t d o o r athletic facilities, a theater, and perhaps a post office. Customers are not always happy with the quality and value of the services they receive. People complain a b o u t late deliveries, r u d e or i n c o m p e t e n t personnel, i n c o n v e n i e n t service h o u r s , p o o r p e r f o r m a n c e , and needlessly complicated p r o cedures. T h e y grumble about the difficulty of finding sales clerks to help t h e m in retail stores, express frustration about mistakes on their credit card bills or bank statements, shake their heads over the complexity of new self-service equipment, m u t ter about p o o r value, and sigh as they are forced to wait in line almost everywhere...
