...George Martinez Hum-112 Professor Montgomery Assignment 2 – Office Art Memo George Martinez Hum-112 Professor Montgomery Assignment 2 – Office Art Memo This assignment was right in my corner. Ironically, as Assistant Directors of Operations for my company, I was tasked to do this very assignment a year ago to date. Impressionism can be considered the first distinctly modern movement in painting. Developing in Paris in the 1860s, its influence spread throughout Europe and eventually the United States. The term, first used sarcastically, was derived in part from the title of a painting, Impression, Sunrise (1872, Musée Marmottan-Claude Monet, Paris), by Claude Monet. (nga.gov) The Impressionists loved painting outdoors, the ever-changing face of nature lent itself perfectly to their interests in capturing the moments of light and color. During my search, I choose the route of adding paintings rather than sculptures because the abundant selection of landscapes and patriotism pieces that are very desirable by our CEO Mr. Lee; who is also a New York City, Hamptons native. Mr. Lee has been a huge fan of works of Childe Hassam, because of this I decided to keep the theme throughout the interior of the office common areas and the chose to keep the post impressionist art within inside the executive offices. The three top choices for the impressionist period were selections from Childe Hassam, Flags, Fifth Avenue, Geraniums, and Lower Manhattan. (These selections chosen represent...

...The Office Art Memo The Office Art Memo “Memorandum” Mario Williams Professor Alan Rodgers Humanities 112 8/15/11 Having to consider the choices both impressionist and post-impressionist, I have come to a decision. Three works from the impressionist period and three works from the post-impressionist period would be the best choice to make. I will deal with impressionist works in the paper first by identifying the impressionist and post-impressionist works. Then I will describe the choices of the painting to present to the CEO of my company with examples for my decision. While including examples why my choices fit the company’s image, I will a give a clear explanation. Keyword: Impressionist, post-impressionist, impressionism. The first painting is historically significant because it was one of the works that helps define impressionism on early work. It displays all the hallmark of impressionism. The second painting Boulevard des Capucines, painted by Claude Monet in 1873, is significant because its perspective was looking out from the first impressionist exhibition. This shows the marketplace of French impressionism. This place is where the painting is not born. However, it is where the movement first became known. In other words, it is the birthplace of the movement. This painting is significant because it shows the outline altogether. An important element of traditional painting that yet shows...

...is an elaborate part of the work environment. After working in the state of Louisiana for a home health agency for 13 years, the hierarchical structure was visibly dominant. During my 13-year tenure in a privately owned business, I have been enlightened on the characteristics of multifaceted organizational structure. Company owners have dual roles- not only as administration but as employees. Cross-functional teams incorporate administrative duties with field staff functions. The administrator, director of nurses and assistant director of nurses each have days scheduled to see patients as well as perform administrative duties. In addition to managing finances and employee benefits, the chief financial officer manages the office staff. Office staff members also have integrated responsibilities within this matrix designed structure. The human resource manager directs employee education, annual physicals, licensures, payroll, and insurance. When the social worker is not consulting with patients, she assists with marketing and community projects. The agency nurses manage patient caseloads, handle referral intake, order medications, and perform audits on the patient’s medical records. The agency...

...The Art of Interpersonal Communication Brian Senecal Liberty University ABSTRACT The art of interpersonal communication is vital to success in the business world. With the increasing amount of digital communication the skills involved in interpersonal communication are diminishing. However, the business world is made up of people and there is no way to avoid interpersonal communication. There are many forms and uses of interpersonal communication and the mastery of each will enable one to succeed greatly in the business world. Interpersonal communication is an essential aspect of business management. There are many varied methods of communication and today’s business person is sending more electronic messages than ever before. In order to perfect your leadership skills, however, one must possess a strong ability to send and receive information from employees, upper level managers, and other businessmen and women using the almost lost art of interpersonal communication. There are many arguments for the importance of mastering the art of interpersonal communication. The Encyclopedia of Communication Theory lists several good reasons in their article, “Interpersonal Communication Theories.” “IPC is important to study for a number of reasons. First, people create meaning through communication—we learn who we are through communication with others and, more importantly, our communication with others influences how we think about and feel about ourselves. Second, IPC is...

...Memorandum To: Stephanie Nissen From: Nichole Dennis Date: 11/16/13 Re: Bureaucracy Memo INTRODUCTION In 1992, Kristin Lardner was murdered by a man who should have been in prison. Kristin was a creative and intelligent art student from D.C., living in Boston. She began dating Michael Cartier a few months before he took her life. Michael was already on probation for numerous violent acts. Acts against other people and property. WEBER’S CONCEPT OF BUREAUCRACY Max Weber’s Concept of Bureaucracy consists of three basic theories. They are: Specialization of Labor, Hierarchical Order and Impersonal Rules. "The principle of office hierarchy and of levels of graded authority mean a firmly ordered system of super-and subordination in which there is a supervision of the lower offices by the higher ones (Stillman, 54). The concept of Hierarchical Order is directly related to this case study. Hierarchical Order basically means that everyone in a bureaucratic system has someone to answer to within the government. Because we have these checks and balances system, the government is supposed to run smoothly and properly. HOW THE HIERARCHICAL ORDER FAILED KRISTIN The following are a few examples of how the Hierarchical Order failed to protect Kristin: In 1988, Cartier was arrested and sentenced to six months in jail, non of which he served. In 1990, Cartier was arrested on multiple charges such as destruction of property and animal cruelty. Between December...

...Professors of Filipino breaking bad over CHED memo By MARK ANGELES June 14, 2014 12:32pm (Updated 12:39 p.m., June 15, 2014) College professors who teach Filipino and supporters of the Filipino language in general are contesting a Commission on Higher Education (CHED) memorandum that will remove the teaching of Filipino from the General Education Curriculum (GEC). According to the CHED Memorandum (CMO) No. 20, series of 2013, Filipino will no longer be part of the GEC by 2016 and the teaching of Filipino at the college level will be limited to Filipino majors and Education in Filipino majors. The CHED justified its removal of college-level Filipino by saying that the subject would be covered in Grades 11 and 12 under the new K-12 curriculum. “Hangga't maari, pagdating mo sa college, mga major subjects na lang,” explained CHED Executive Director Julito Vitriolo. The National Commission for Culture and the Arts' National Committee on Language and Translation (NCCA-NCLT), however, believes otherwise. Last May 23, its members unanimously signed a resolution asking the GEC be revised again, but this time to include nine mandatory units of Filipino for all courses at the tertiary level. The Pambansang Samahan sa Linggwistika at Literaturang Filipino, Ink. (PSLLF), an organization that promotes the use of Filipino, has thrown its support behind the NCCA-NCLT resolution by promoting a change.org petition which asks the CHED and Congress to include the nine Filipino units...

...A Critical Thinking Analysis of the Penn-Mart Memo Kristin Daniels University of Maryland, University College DMBA 610 Professor Jackson The issue that caused this memo to be written is in regards to the rising cost of employee benefits pertaining to healthcare. The Human Resources department was asked to come up with a solution to the problem of the increase in company spending and to find the root causes of expenditure. They proposed the “Get Well” program that will supposedly cut costs, making the perceived effectiveness of this program the main issue of the memo. The conclusion of this memo is that the Senior Vice President of Human Resources, Mr. Monella, wants Penn-Mart to institute a “Get Well” program that would cut down on costs to the company by means of preventative care and getting the employee population more involved in their healthcare. The employees that don’t abide by the new program features will either pay $1,000 towards costs, will break away from the company in some form or will have to rely on another way to get healthcare coverage. The author uses many indicator words in order to make his conclusion clear: he believes that his research shows that “Get Well” will not only make employees feel better about themselves, but will also have a positive impact on Penn-Well’s situation. By conducting internal research into the matter and causes of the increase in healthcare cost for employees, Mr. Monella is communicating what his department feels...

...Conflicting Federal and State Medical Marijuana Policies: A Threat to Cooperative Federalism Todd Grabarsky* Abstract The legal status of medical marijuana in the United States is something of a paradox. On one hand, federal government has placed a ban on the drug with no exceptions. On the other hand, over one-third of the states have that legalizes the cultivation, distribution, and consumption of the drug for medical purposes. As such, the usage of medical marijuana is an activity that is at the same time proscribed (by the federal government) and encouraged (by state governments through their systems of regulation and taxation). This Article seeks to shed light on this unprecedented nebulous zone of legality in which an activity is both legal and illegal, an issue that one scholar on the subject has deemed “one of the most important federalism disputes in a generation.” The issue has become heightened as two states have legalized marijuana for recreational (non-medical) purposes as a result of recent 2012 Election. This Article examines the issue from a federalism perspective. It begins by arguing that unpredictable enforcement by federal authorities in states that have legalized medical marijuana not only threatens state drug policy, but also the efficacy of federal enforcement. This argument is based on the premise that the federal drug ban exists as a cooperation between the states and the federal government. That the federal government relies on the assistance...

...THE CASE OF THE PRICING PREDICAMENT Cost-cutting customers. Hungry Foreign rivals. Should Standard Machine Lowerits bid? By MARY KARR As soon a Scott Palmer’s secretary told him that Joanne Braker form Occidental Aerospace was on the phone, he knew he was in for a long day. Inheriting the Occidental account had helped him earn top sales commissions last year, his first at Standard Machine Corporation. But a month ago, Joanne informed Scott of the purchasing department’s new, more aggressive competitive bid policy, and said it would apply to the acquisition of a computerized milling machine for Occidental’s new training center. Scott nevertheless submitted his $429,000 proposal with great confidence and even boasted to his regional sales manager that the deal was “in the bag”. After two weeks of unreturned phone calls, however, Scott got the feeling his confidence had been sorely misplaced. “Hi, Joanne, Long time, no hear. What’s up?” Joanne got right to the point. “Scott, I’ve got a $22,000 problem you can solve”. “What do you mean?” “You know we have to look hard at a number of different vendors on purchases of this size. And your bid is well above the competition’s. Kakuchi came in under $390,000, and Akita Limited at a little over 400K”. She waited, and Scott waited back, not wanting to show his anxiousness. “The way I count it,” she finally continued, “You’re $22,000 too high, and I just can’t sell that here”. “Well, Joanne, you...
