If the purchased organization had different standard the employees will revert to those standard until new standard are presented to them. The culture often takes on that of the organization that purchases another; there are many processes in place that may not allow for complete integration of the employees of the sold company, into that of the purchasing company. The culture will be set from the beginning and it will be important to put into practice the two cultures so the other organization feel as if they are part of the new organization. There are services that the sold organization provides that the purchasing company does not have and may be unfamiliar with. Within such services are professionals and departments that may have their own strong mini cultures within the larger corporate culture. There will be competition between staff of both organizations, as those from each are most comfortable with their own cultures and try to maintain their current status.

One way of ensuring economic fairness between states is to create infrastructure, which allows equal trading, and access. Physical linkage between all states increases the sense of community within the country. Tasmania has a lot to offer, but is disadvantaged by the lack of communication alternatives. For everyday people to reach the island one has to take either an airplane or a ferry, which means one is always dependent on the time table of these vessels. For logistics companies there is no other alternative than using air or sea transport. King...

...Unit VIII Article Critique Columbia Southern University DBA 7553 1. Introduction of the Article This article is found in the Directors and Boards magazine. It is written by Donald P. Delves who “is president of the Delves Group, a compensation and corporate governance consulting firm that advises boards of directors” (Delves, 2012). The article is titled “What about everyone else? The problem may not be that executives are paid too much, but that employees are paid too little.” 2. Statement of the Problem Studied In this article, Mr. Delves examined why people complain about executive pay, how companies used to inflate employee earnings, and how companies can increase employee wages now. 3. Significance of the Problem Studied With sky rocketing pay for many executives over the last few decades, many employees have wondered why their pay has not also increased. In the past companies have used stock options to provide incentive for employees and to use these as a pathway to increase employee pay. However with the economic recession and many of the changes in accounting practices, companies could no longer use this incentive to increase wages for employees. Thus Mr. Delves presents the question, “what do we do about [increasing employee incentives]?” (Delves, 2012). If this question can be answered, it has the potential to not only increase employee productivity but also to provide them with increased opportunities. ...
