...Motivation and Teams Case Study Case One: Two Men and a Lot of Trucks The first theory is I think plays in this study are the expectancy theory. I think this because her children believed in the hard work they performed would lead to rewards. This led them to buy a franchise of their own. Equity theory is also found in this case study due to the rewards that each child got due to their mother owning the business and rewarding them to work for her. Ms. Sheets also plays a role in the expectancy theory. She did believe that if she worked hard her business would succeed more than she would have expected. Ms. Sheets opened a Stick Men University that was used to train franchisees and movers how to properly move items and customer service. Case Two: Siemen’s New Boss The theory this case study shows is expectancy theory. I feel that Mr. Kleinfield displayed the characteristics of this theory. He came to the business young and with new ideas that would save the company money and the employees their jobs. It appears that the plant was costing the business more money than they expected or wanted to continue paying. Mr. Kleinfield came to the location and had to convince the employees to change their normal hours days and hours. He eventually convinced the employees to do as he asked which in time reduce production time and costs, which saved their jobs. He was open to questions by anyone in the plant, even the employee reps. He was there to show them that he was...

Attrition leads to loss of key employees who have thorough knowledge of the company and its practices. Appointing new employees in place of old involves cost of recruiting and training them. Experience in a field is very important for better performance. New employees lack this and this might lead to some pitfalls during their work. If there is high attrition, it also results in a negative impact on new employees about the work...

At present, Chittagong experiencing rapid but unplanned urban growth, as a result of which, environmental issues are emerging, such as pollution, traffic congestion, lacking solid waste management, unplanned hill cutting and poor sewerage facilities. Chittagong’s solid waste management system employs around 1,800 workers, of which 1,475 are Sheboks (street sweepers). Its trucks are powered by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), and waste is disposed of into two landfills. Chittagong City Corporation (CCC) greening and recycling initiatives have won the prestigious “Prime Ministers First Prize” (in 2003-04) for achievements in maintaining Chittagong as a “Clean and Green” city of Bangladesh. Successful initiatives include an annual month-long plantation fair, and water and firewood recycling projects. The Conservancy Department of CCC is responsible for the solid waste management. To TOP 2. Action Plan Progress After the First 2006 AUICK Workshop, the Action Plan made for Chittagong facilitated NGO and private initiatives to better manage solid waste collection and disposal. Chittagong’s urban environment suffers from the effects of unplanned waste disposal by its 35-40 health clinics and hospitals, and the destruction of its hillside greenery by unplanned development, so a two-part plan increased community waste management and treatment of hospital waste, as well as creating greening...

...Whenever the term motivational speaker is introduced to a conversation, I instantaneously imagine an overly enthusiastic man, preparing to deliver the same watered-down, cookie cutter speech that has roamed the halls of every high school. Therefore, it was only natural for me to shrink back in fatigued anguish at the thought of having to endure the same torturous event in which I would be expected to appreciate with mock enticement. Mr. Christopher Taylor is a man of too many words and very little tolerance for ignorance. Walking into the room, the weight of his presence was awakening. Something about the way my older peers glanced at him with the up most respect sent a trigger alerting me to the significance of him. Although he sat patiently through his detailed introduction, his eyes focused around the room, seemingly categorizing each student into a database, well organized through years of practice. Light applause trailed him as he took a firm stance in the front of the ballroom. Deceptively, he began with generalized questions about how people perceive each other, trivial knowledge that determined little, other than the common sense of his audience. After a series of varyingly mediocre topics, Mr. Taylor quieted down and pondered to himself for a second, gaining his thoughts and deciding how best to approach the next topic, “How many of you are pre-med students?” he asked inquisitively. I was one of many of the proud students who raised their hands. Nodding in acceptance...

George Steins’ Ethical Dilemma * Discuss all of the reasons why you believe George might act unethically and remove the filters, allowing the maggots to remain in the mix. The first reason George might act unethically is due to Social Learning Theory. “Analysis revealed that perceived learning opportunities were shaped, enabled, and constrained by a variety of social, cultural, structural, and process-related imperatives. This was manifested through two learning systems: (1) a formal learning system directly managed by the organization and (2) an informal system that was fostered through strong social networks and driven by the organizational culture. From this investigation, we posit a social theory of learning, which encompasses sharing knowledge and experience through social interaction” (O’Toole, 2011). This is an article for developing learned systems by the Australian Army in their ‘fighting for knowledge’ campaign to understand learned systems in a military setting. Using a focus group of over 150 armed personnel to understand some of the cultural and social systems enforced. Social theory is a theory that states that we learn through observation and our direct experiences with others (Robbins. 2013). The social learning theory is enacted by both formal learning systems, decreed through management, and informal social networks. In the case George is...

...Business Plan Part 1: Preparation Describe an original idea for a product or service you think you can develop and sell. A service that I think I can sell would be motivational speaking. I can also develop and sell books. The most inspiring and successful motivation speakers are those with a personal story of success that can be passed on to audiences (Marsden, ehow.com). I know this because I am currently doing speeches now and will eventually author books. I choose this path because I have always been a talker. Every since a child, I have loved to speak in front of crowds. I would love to read the Sunday school minutes. I was then introduced to Toastmasters International Speaking Club and was advised of how well of a speaker I am. I did not believe it at first. I then begin to see it because people demanded me to speak so they could hear me. I decided I could make this a career, so I started speaking. Now I am four speeches away from having my Advanced Communicator Silver with Toastmasters. Once it is obtained, I will only have one more level to reach out of five, which is the Advanced Communicator Gold. I am also working on becoming an accredited speaker through Toastmaster. Once I become an accredited speaker, I will be able to charge for my speeches versus accepting whatever donations are provided. Once my speaking career takes off, I will venture off into authoring books. I think I can sell books because I am an excellent speaker and people will...

...each point of motivational interviewing, why it was used, and whether or not it was successful. What was done well in this interview, and why? What would you have done differently, and why? Of the theories we have learned in this unit, which theory stands out in this interview? Where and how? “A client-centered and empathetic counseling style is one fundamental and defining characteristic of motivational interviewing. We regard the therapeutic skill of reflective listening or accurate empathy ... to be the foundation on which skillfulness in motivational interviewing is built ... Through skillful reflective listening, the counselor seeks to understand the client’s feelings and perspectives without judging, criticizing, or blaming ... The crucial attitude is a respectful listening to the person with a desire to understand his or her perspective” (Miller & Rollnick, 2002, p. 37) In this case, the Motivational interviewing refers to an interpersonal counseling or communication style rather than a specific therapy or set of techniques (Rollnick & Miller, 1995). This style is evident in the process of MET (Motivational Enhancement Therapy). The focus of this particular interview was on helping the client to overcome reluctance or ambivalence on his own, while allowing him to make positive changes in his approach to anger management. The therapy did not assume that the client wanted to change, but lead the client to own their need for change. The motivational interviewing assumed...

This Proposal will change EPA’s 2008 Definition of Solid Waste rule, which altered the hazardous waste regulations to promote recycling of hazardous secondary materials. 2. A) The federal agency that is promoting this change is named as “US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which began operation on December 3, 1970 and proposed by President Richard Nixon. B) I always have an interest on this agency, base on its main purpose, which is to conduct environmental assessment focusing on the protection of the human health and our environment. This Proposed rule impacts me because as everyone, I would like to have and maintain a clean and healthy environment if I can, and I believe it would also reduce illness such as asthma and cancer, and at the same time this rule will help industries to identify what type of solid waste should they identify and recycle. C) I currently reside with my family near an industry that uses hazardous and toxic chemicals, which generate hazardous materials and coal residues. I would not like to have residues near home that could drive any of my family member’s health to a bad stage. On the other hand, I understand that this rule also help these industries to identify the proper practice towards the solid waste by providing more explicit and consistent factors that will push them to a legitimacy of recycling process. 3. ...

...for: [pic] “Comparison and Critical evaluation of Recycling Industry in Canada and Malaysia” “I have read the Student Academic Code of Conduct and this assignment complies with the Code” Introduction Recycling is the process of turning used products into raw materials that can be used to make new products. Its purpose is to conserve natural resources and reduce pollution. Recycling a product requires less energy when compared to manufacturing a new product and some of the items being currently recycled are Paper, Plastic, Glass, Metals and Electronics (Ackerman, 2008). History of Recycling Waste management in Canada is considered to be a $5.6 Billion industry. Canada produced over 34 million tonnes of waste in 2008, out of which 25.9 million tonnes of waste was sent to public and private waste disposal facilities and the remaining 8.5 million tones was sent to recycling and composting, which has been practically unchanged since 2006 (Globe-Net, 2010). Waste management had become an issue of vital importance as Canada having a total of 800 landfill sites was facing a critical shortage of the landfill space with 30% already filled up leading to growing concerns about the environmental impacts of the traditional waste disposal methods. Reduction, Reuse, recycling and recovery were considered to play a key role in minimizing the wastes by 50% (Alberni Environmental Coalition, 1991). From a 16% recycling rate in 2003, Ontario had managed to increase the rate to...

The shape of the things to come will depend partially upon how one shapes the controllable factors. With different strategies, the forecasting will be different, offering multiple scenarios for management decision making. Forecasting is an estimate of sales in physical units for a specified future period under proposed marketing plan or programme and under the assumed set of economic and other forces outside the organization for which the forecast is made. Long term forecasts: Product diversification, sales, advertizing budgets, capacity planning and investment planning, Short term forecasts: Material control, loading and scheduling, and budgeting.

...Environment Management Topic : Hazardous Waste Management Group Members : Rohan Shanbhag (146) Amit Sharma (147) Nandita Sharma (148) Priya Shegoankar (149) Hazardous waste management is the collection, treatment, and disposal of waste material that, when improperly handled, can cause substantial harm to human health and safety or to the environment. Hazardous wastes can take the form of solids, liquids, sludges, or contained gases, and they are generated primarily by chemical production, manufacturing, and other industrial activities. They may cause damage during inadequate storage, transportation, treatment, or disposal operations. Improper hazardous-waste storage or disposal frequently contaminates surface and groundwater supplies. People living in homes built near old and abandoned waste disposal sites may be in a particularly vulnerable position. In an effort to remedy existing problems and to prevent future harm from hazardous wastes, governments closely regulate the practice of hazardous-waste management. Hazardous Materials Regulations Hazardous materials are regulated by three primary government agencies: ...

...HEALTH CARE WASTE MANAGEMENT SCENARIO IN WEST BENGAL The wastes generated from health care units are generally classified as infectious and non-infectious. The infectious health care wastes are termed as ‘bio-medical wastes’ and are considered to be potentially hazardous in nature. The disposal of untreated bio-medical wastes mixed with non-infectious health care wastes or other general municipal wastes poses an environmental threat and public health risk.Indiscriminate disposal of untreated bio-medical waste is often the cause for the spread of several infectious diseases. It is also responsible for the nosocomial diseases i.e. the hospital acquired diseases to the health care personnel who handle these wastes at the point of generation. Moreover, this is equally harmful to persons involved in the bio-medical waste management i.e. segregation, storage, transport, treatment and disposal. Apart from the above, a good amount of bio-medical wastes such as disposable syringes, saline bottles, I.V. fluid bottles etc. are picked up by rag pickers and are recycled back into the market without any disinfection. It is imperative, therefore, to adopt an appropriate environmentally safe method for the disposal of the hospital wastes. Sources of generation of Bio-medical wastes: Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Veterinary Hospitals, Dental Clinics, Pathological & Diagnostic Laboratories, Blood Bank etc. Type of Health Care Waste: These are of two types (i) Infectious Wastes (ii) Non-infectious...
