...your organization and show its effectiveness in outcomes or output produced. The acronym POSDCORB (E) has been used in all schools and other organizations all over the world. It is a management technique that has been accepted by all managers and administrators in both the public and private secondary schools in Mauritius. However, some administrators are not making effective use of the management principles and this has a negative effect on the performance of students. In order, to achieve better results in the 21st century which is characterized as a technological world, administrative quality in terms of competent leaders are required. I work for a fee-paying school which is the Institue. The Institute has opened its doors 10 years back with less than 50 students, but the rector was not discouraged and today the school population is over 300. The Institute is known for its discipline as this is not the case in other state secondary schools. Moreover, teachers are asked to give special attention to weak students in order to make them pass the exams. The Rector does apply the acronym POSDCORB (E), but does not make the maximum use of it, and this affects the results at the end of the year. The acronym POSDCORB (E) can be stated below where: P= PLANNING O=ORGANISING S=STAFFING D=DIRECTING C=COORDINATION R= REPORTING B= BUDGETING E=EVALUATION PLANNING “Planning bridges the gap from where we are to where we want to go.

...being wholly unprepared for the examination was again relatively small, yet most responses tended to fall into the category of being ‘adequate’. Teachers are urged to make use of the various guidelines and aids to learning being developed by the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC), to help students be more comfortable with both language and literature, and to improve language through the skills acquired in studying literature. One resource is the syllabus document, in which there is a large section which helps with interpreting the syllabus objectives and requirements, and suggests a variety of activities which can help in developing the appropriate skills. Taken as a whole, there is some improvement in the performance, but individual questions as expected, show fluctuations in quality. Candidates seem to lack strategies to help them use their time and skills to the best advantage under examination conditions. At the start of each question there are instructions and cautions to which examination candidates need to be encouraged to give thoughtful and careful attention. The following advice was among several pieces offered to instructors in 2009, and is still very relevant today: Students should come to the examination with a well-rehearsed procedure for tackling each question…they should have deeply...

Indeed, mastery of the field is needed and must be developed. Language, as a general thought has numerous definitions due to the fact that people would likely see things from various viewpoints. However, majority of the characterizations of language appears to be analogous with one another. Among the definitions, language is primarily a mental faculty that allows humans to undertake linguistic behavior: to learn languages and to produce and understand utterances (Haser and Fitch 2003). Furthermore, language is seen as a formal system of signs governed by grammatical rules of combination to communicate meaning (Trask, 2007). This definition stresses that human languages can be described as closed structural systems consisting of rules that relate particular signs to particular...

...MANAGEMENT REVIEW Quality of Professional Management Education in Bhubaneswar: An Assessment from Student Point of View Abstract Rakhi Dutta Asst Prof. Srusti Academy of Management, Bhubaneswar The twin cities of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack together have around forty-five colleges and institutions offering postgraduate programs in management. Some of them run as autonomous bodies or universities, some are affiliated to Universities, some have got approval from AICTE and some have tie-ups with other national and international bodies. The paper is based on an exploratory qualitative research undertaken in the cities of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack among postgraduate students of management from around 15 colleges and is an attempt to enumerate the deficiencies they perceive in their education. The research has primarily focused on education delivery and covers the curricular and teaching-learning aspects along with certain other areas which affect students. The paper also gives some suggestive measures to take care of these deficiencies. “Assessment in this spirit does not concern assignment of grades or evaluation of whether instruction was effective. It’s assessment designed squarely to feed into the learning process and make the learning stronger. David N.

...INTRODUCTION Education aims to provide learning and knowledge, also to enhance the skills and abilities of every student, to bring competence, and guide them with positive attitudes and values. Quality education is considered as an important factor to produce globally competitive professionals in order to build a strong nation and to bring out the best way to get along with global competition. Education is facing challenges in terms of worldwide movement of international students mostly from the Asian and African continents to universities in the West to provide an important source of income to those receiving universities (Biggs and Tang, 2010). In trying to strengthen the quality assurance system in Philippine higher education, institutions of higher learning were mandated to upgrade higher education curricular offerings to international standards (Valdez, 2012). There is a growing worldwide concern among the stakeholders of education that the present educational system does not prepare students adequately for life and work in the 21st century. (ncrel.org) In order to remain responsive to these challenges, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) need to continuously assess correctly the organization’s strategic needs and ever-evolving business process requirements in terms of core, operational and management competencies. This has prompted many educators across the globe to explore new ways of designing education including a review of the curriculum, the instructional processes...

A business case is a “story” or “narrative” describing a problem or problems in an organization. The organization can be a profit, not-for-profit, or public sector organization. All organizations experience business problems which management must solve. Cases have been written on such organizations as Apple, Microsoft, Y.M.C.A and Royal Bank. Examples of cases are end of each chapter of your text. The “story” or “narrative” often contains additional information which gives insights into the causes of the problems. Sometimes, the case will actually propose possible alternative solutions to solving the problem. Many cases are written from the viewpoint of the manager/leader that recognizes the problem and is under pressure to find a solution. 2. Why use cases? At the JR Shaw School of Business, we take an applied approach to learning. As a student, you learn concepts/models and theories that are simplified representations of the “real world”. While it is not possible to illustrate real world issues, models are realistic in giving insights into what is actually occurring in the workplace. They are a valuable tool to learn...
