...operate with very short horizons, reacting to an ever-changing environment.’ Introduction Management is celebrated as one of the innovation whose impact is considered equalled to be one of the most changing technologies. Management is therefor said to be that body of thought that makes the organization work. Therefore management should be considered a long term goal, but due to the financial crisis, a new way of thinking have risen, organisations must adapt to short term goals to the ever changing environment. According to (Jackall 2010), developing effective management skills to deal with the challenges of the changing environment is needed for organisations to remain competitive in the world market. Proper practice of management skills should be considered for workers to help the organisations by being efficient and effective. This essay is to analyse the practice of management that has been practiced before and after regard to the change of the environment in the organisation, i.e. the global financial crisis. Proper practice of considerable management styles which have been used before and are known to affect the success or failure of an organisation will also be analysed. ‘A feature of an organizational and its management process is change’ (Kurt, 2004). Section 1: Management and organisation It is viewed that management is an act of getting work done through people. Management takes the planning and directing efforts of putting resources together to accomplish a task...

...Introduction Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard graduated in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1935. The company established by Hewlett and Packard in Packard’s garage with an initial capital investment of US$538 during a fellowship in 1939. Hewlett Packard Company commonly referred as ‘HP’. HP product lines include personal computing devices, enterprise servers, related storage devices and diverse range of printers and imaging products. HP Company has been described as one of the most successful companies of the 20th Century. The reason why this company was so successful over such a long period of time may well lie in the management of its corporate culture ‘The HP Way’. The HP Way reflects the personal core values of Bill Hewlett and David Packard, and the translation of those values into a comprehensive set of operating practices, cultural norms, and business strategies (Collins, 2005). However, since the late 1990s, the company has been experiencing a new and different culture is emerging, ‘The New HP Way’. Today, many companies take the tenets of the HP way almost for granted but when first formulated, they were visionary. This report would briefly outline ‘The HP Way’ and ‘The New HP Way’ organisations which is a balance between profits for the owners and shareholders of the company and the rights, job security and working conditions of its employees. * Organisational Behaviour Effective communication & Leadership Behaviour The HP’s way of communicating...

...There are many different types of forms of businesses in this world. People tend to choose a type of business off of what they feel or who they are working with. These forms are what guide someone into being successful or not. These forms are the most traditional ways of our economy. Throughout this paper I will be expressing each major form of business with their advantages and disadvantages. A sole proprietorship is defined as a structure of business organization that is simple to set up and allows you to have control over the business, which is ideal for small owner-operated businesses (Kimmel, Weygandt, & Keiso, 2009, p.4 ). The advantages are a sole proprietor has all the strength and decision-making power towards the company, everything can take place at the verdict of the sole proprietor owner, there are no corporate taxes, and to start a company legally is cheap to name a few. The disadvantage of a sole proprietor business is what can change the mind of a few when it comes to starting one. They are liable for all debts towards the company. Partnership is used a lot through many businesses. A partnership is formed between two or more people to invest and run a business smoothly. Advantages to name a few are Partnerships are relatively easy to establish, cost-effective as each partner specializes in certain aspects of their business, and may benefit from the combination of complementary skills of two or more people as in more knowledge, skills and contacts. The disadvantages...

...The Manufacturing Industry operates in many environments and depending on what needs to be manufactured typically has a great impact on where it will be manufactured. Automobile Manufacturers are an example of having interest in many different regions of the world. According to the Website http://www.worldometers.info/cars/(2009): which has a listing of 37 countries in which automobiles are listed as being manufactured in. Toyota in 2006 was considered the second largest automaker in the world, and according to the Website: www.toyoland.com/toyota/plants.html(2007): Toyota has 52 manufacturing facilities in 27 countries outside of Japan. Toyota President Katsuaki Watanabe, in his 2007 new year’s greeting, said that Toyota must implement thorough measures concerning quality and reinforce the foundations of manufacturing by implementing additional localization measures, including human resources development from a global perspective and further support for local affiliates to operate autonomously (Toyoland). Toyota has built plants around the world to avoid costly shipping of mass numbers of vehicles and avoid the troubles that accompany it. It also does a lot of its indirect production such as forging, die assemblies, and engines in China to lower labor costs. Working in so many different countries and allowing these plants to operate autonomously can cause issues because of countries different cultures, work ethics, and holiday schedules. Although Toyota has been operating...

...Week 3 (25 August) Tutorial: How does your life define “I”? Reflecting on my life or whatever I have been through. I don’t think I have much of a life but I am contented. So here goes... I sat down for a talk with an insurance agent to do a short survey but in actual fact we both knew that the reason behind the survey was to try to convince me to buy an insurance policy from him. Halfway through the survey, he ask whether I had any financial goals that I hope to achieve and he was quite shocked to hear that I don’t have any financial goals in life. I was also shocked by the fact that he seemed so shocked over my answer. Are having financial goals a necessity in life? My logic is that having financial goals are not really that important if I have the virtue to save. As long as I save prudently, I can achieve any financial goals that I want, isn’t it? My logic applies in my academic life too. During secondary school, teachers and friends would ask whether I would choose to go to college or to polytechnic after my ‘O’ levels. My answer would always be ‘I don’t know’ or ‘I haven’t thought of it’. Why should I give a thought on where I should go after my ‘O’ levels? As long as I do well in my ‘O’ levels, I would have the luxury of pondering that question and seeking out the many options that will be open to me if my results are good so shouldn’t I strive to study hard first and get the best results? Definition of me: l realise I think and interpret things differently from...

...Adrian Howley Classical Argument Reporting earthquakes are very critical to studying the behavior of tectonic plates. The very first recorded earthquake occurred in the year 1831 B.C. and is currently known today as the 526 Antioch Earthquake. The area affected was Antioch, China (located between the Syria and Turkey regions). Not much is known about how the report was formed. However, this historic report did include information about how the aftershocks lasted for twelve months. Other details from this report indicate that the death toll is around 250,000 to 300,000 casualties. Scientists today can only prove that the earthquake occurred between May 20 and May 29 (date translated from B.C. to Calendar Year). The first instrument to measure the seismic waves of earthquakes was invented by Charles F. Richter at the California Institute of Technology. (Bellis, 2013) He introduced his new instrument called the Richter scale, to the world of science. His invention allows scientists today to study the mechanics behind earthquakes and locate the epicenter to which the natural disaster originated. The largest earthquake recorded by the Richter scale was measured on May 22, 1960 at a magnitude of 9.5. The quake resulted in 1,886 deaths, 2,000,000 homeless, and $1,175,000,000 total in damages. (“The Largest Earthquake”, [PDF file]) If we want to see these large numbers slide down to zero, the impossible will need to be challenged by science. Skyscrapers are buildings consisting...

Throughout history, progression and advancement in technology has fundamentally separated us from our evolutionary antecedents, enabling a life of greater comfort, extravagance and an increased ability to procreate and sustain ourselves. This improvement is especially apparent in the world of architecture and civil engineering, where there has been an unremitting ambition to surpass the existing boundaries, particularly with regards to height. The most renowned early example of a structure where height was key are the Pyramids of Giza where elevation was crucial in order to radiate power and divine authority. The tallest pyramid, standing at 146.5m, was built more than 4500 years ago, and remained the tallest manmade structure for the next 3800 years, until the 1300s when Lincoln Cathedral was built topping it by only 13.5m [1][2]...

Taipe 101 (509m) This building is located in Taipei, Taiwan. Height of the building is 509 m with the total floors are 101. In many cases, the building is recognized as one of the most advanced skyscrapers in the world. One of the superiorities of this building is having a fiber-optic and internet connection satellite which can reach speeds of 1 gigabyte per second. Besides, the elevator building also was fastest than Burj Khalifa, 63 km/hour means that to reach the 89th floor, it only takes 39 seconds.

...structure. The Burj Dubai, situated in Dubai, will soon be the tallest building in the world, bypassing the previous record holder, the Taipei 101 by almost 290 metres giving it an astonishing 800 metre height. With over 2700 feet, designing and constructing such a vast building has given significant challenges to engineers and designers alike. Since the building can hold up to 35,000 people at once, it is essential that it is strong, comfortable and able to move people up and down it at a steady rate. This essay will explore how the designers and engineers went about solving these issues. One of the key problems the engineers had to overcome was effect of the wind load and how it would affect the building motions due to the extraordinary height of the tower. Wind load is something that must be taken into account for all buildings, but obviously the wind velocity increases the higher you go and since the structure is over 800 metres tall, there is guaranteed to be a large wind force acting on the building. Three different engineering firms: Skidmore, Owings and Merrill who were all working on the project, hired the RWDI (Rowan Williams Davies & Irwin Inc.) a wind and environmental engineering firm to conduct wind studies on the Burj Dubai’s design. The RWDI had worked on a number of previous projects such as the Petronas Towers and the Taipei 101 and its facilities included four boundary wind tunnels. Their job was to minimize the effects of the wind load and building motion of the...

...Entry 1 (24th September 2012) It's exactly 12:01 am now, and seeing that this is my first entry, I should update a little of myself. I'm currently at Taiwan for a short vacation with my high school friends of about 10years. And they are Lee Sue Ee, Soh Pei Ling, and Chong Yee Wun. We arrived here on Saturday, 22nd September 2012, and so far it has been an hectic journey seeing that we are here on our own for the first time and we did not go through any travel agency. Enough of updating, I just finish my STA assessment and e-mailed it to my group mates to submit later in the morning. I just hope that I did good enough despite my heavy schedule and with little initiative. Oh yes, I am now in my room while the girls are sleeping and the view is just amazingly breath-taking. How fortunate i am that I could do my assignment while looking at this sea view. The sound of the rushing waves eases my mind to relaxation and light music as my background to suit my emotion. The only thing that lack, is a partner to share this spectacular moment. Anyway, I should sleep now. Gotta be up early later for another tour around the north-east Taiwan before heading to the capital city Taipei later in the evening. I will update my entry again later whilst exploring every possibility here. Good Night ! Good afternoon, it was quite a day after waking up restlessly. Breakfast here was amazing, I mean, what more can we ask with such nature phenomenal as our spectacular view. After finishing our...

...Seven Wonders of 21st Century Architecture You may not be able to name them all, but most people have at least heard of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World. Here’s a list with links: Great Pyramid of Giza, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Temple of Artemis, Statue of Zeus at Olympia, Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, Colossus of Rhodes, and the Lighthouse of Alexandria . Of the seven, only the Pyramid remains, the rest we know of only through historic documents.[1] There have been other “7 Wonders” lists and in 2007, the Swiss government sponsored a project to create a new list, with selections made by popular vote. Over 100 million votes were cast, and the new 7 Wonders were announced as follows: Chichen Itza (the Yucatan, Mexico pyramid), Christ the Redeemer (Brazil’s enormous statue of Jesus), Colosseum (Rome’s arena of Gladiators),Great Wall of China (you can see it from space!),Machu Picchu (ancient city built on an unbelievably high mountain top in Peru),Petra (Jordan’s city cut directly into the side of a stone mountain ),and the Taj Mahal (India’s majestic temple/mausoleum).[2] But my final Cyber Journey of the semester started not as a stroll through history, but as a trip into the future of arts and Architecture with a look at another “7 Wonders” list – The 7 New Wonders of the 21st Century [3], as selected by Architecture, an online review published by the website Quazen.
