...Administrative Principles The fourth major theory of management thought is called administrative principles. This is the third and final subset of the classical perspective. Henri Fayol, a French mining engineer was a major contributor to this theory of being “focused on the total organization” (Daft & Marcic, 2015). In a scholarly article, called Henri Fayol's Centre for Administrative Studies, it talks about Fayol’s belief in management being a part of every aspect in your life, from the home to work and even a part of government (Breeze, 1995). Some of the principles of management introduced by Fayol include the unity of command, division of work, unity of direction, and the scalar chain (Daft & Marcic, 2015). These principles have been...

...Henri Fayol: The Administrative Theory Henri Fayol developed the Administrative Theory. While Weber emphasized the principles of an ideal bureaucratic organization, Fayol concentrated on the management layer. He focused on the personal duties of a manager at a much finer level than Weber did. Fayol stated that management had five principle roles: planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating, and controlling. Planning meant anticipating the future and acting towards it. Organization meant the development of resources, both capital and human. Commanding meant keeping the processes of the business running. Coordinating meant syncing the group’s efforts in the best possible way. Controlling meant that all the above activities were done according to appropriate rules and procedures. Fayol created 14 principles of administration to go along with these five goals. 1. Division of work: work is divided according to skill and technical expertise; each item of work be given to the employee most qualified for it 2. Authority and responsibility: Fayol defined authority as 'the right to give orders and the power to exact obedience.' He emphasized the importance of linking authority to responsibility. 3. Discipline: obedience and behavior of respect. 4. Unity of command: an employee should receive orders from one superior only. 5. Unity of direction: only one head shall lead a group with the same objective 6. Subordination of individual interests to the general interest: an...

...| Banning Electronic Cigarettes on Aircrafts | | | | | | 1. This proposed regulation interests me since I have started flying more often and I wouldn’t want to sit next to someone smoking an electronic cigarette on an airplane. The seating on airplanes are so close together that you wouldn’t want to be able to smell the vapor from someone smoking an electronic cigarette even though it is barely noticeable. This proposed regulation is banning electronic cigarettes from commercial and international aircraft flights. I guess it would affect me and the company I work for since there are hundreds of people in our company that have to fly for business. The discomfort of having to smell an unusual odor even if it was a flavor odor from someone sitting so close to during a 2 -6 hour flight would not be enjoyable. 2. The proposal is intended to change any existing smoking regulations for airlines to ban the use of electronic cigarettes on any passenger flights both domestic and international. The DOT is implementing this change due to the marketing and promotional advertising to increase the popularity of the electronic cigarettes and they are concerned about any safety, health and discomfort concerns that may be imposed on the other passengers on the aircraft. 3.

Explain why this agency and your proposed regulation interests you (briefly). Will this proposed regulation affect you or the business in which you are working? If so, how? I chose the Department of Public Safety, Division 45: Missouri Gaming Commission, Chapter 5: Conduct of Gaming. One of the many benefits Casinos love to share is that money from their profits will go to a public school fund. 2. Describe the proposal/change. The Gaming Commission is proposing an amendment to 11 CSR 45-5.051, Minimum Standards for Blackjack. The amendment will allow a floor supervisor (Pit-Boss) may direct the dealer to shuffle the cards after any round of play is completed and all wagers have been resolved. It won’t affect me directly but depending on how the Pit-Boss uses this internal control method, it could help or harm the Fund that is generated for Public Schools. Shuffling the cards in the middle is a deck is used to stop the current momentum. If the player(s) at the table are hot then this can break a streak that is cutting into the Casino’s profits. In this case it’s a win for the Public School Fund. 3. Write the public comment which you would submit to this proposal.

...State the administrative agency which controls the regulation. Explain why this agency and your proposed regulation interests you (briefly). Will this proposed regulation affect you or the business in which you are working? If so, how? The administrative agency that controls this regulation is the Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives Bureau (The ATF), whose parent agency is the Department of Justice. This agency and its proposed regulation interests me because I am a supporter of the second amendment and I am opposed of any regulations that seek to limit the second amendment. I do not own any firearms, nor do I expect to receive any firearms in the immediate future, but my fiance’s father owns many firearms and, in the future, when he passes away, those guns are likely to be transferred to her and this legislation will affect that transfer by requiring the receiver of those firearms to verify that they are a “responsible person” This regulation will not affect the business in which I am working. That business is Verizon Wireless, which does not deal in any firearms (at least to my knowledge). I am interested in this subject from a purely academic point of view. Describe the proposal/change. This regulation would require a person legally receiving a firearm (ostensibly someone receiving it as a gift or as part of an inheritance) to prove that they are a “responsible person”, furthermore this “responsible person” would have to complete a form and submit photographs and...

...WEEK 2 ASSIGNMENT Assignment: 1. State the administrative agency which controls the regulation. Explain why this agency and your proposed regulation interest you (briefly). Will this proposed regulation affect you or the business in which you are working? If so, how? The regulation that I have chosen is the amendment in Regulation X (Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act) and Regulation Z (Truth in Lending) to establish new disclosure requirements and forms in Regulation Z for most closed-end consumer credit transactions secured by real property. This regulation is controlled by Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection. The role of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is to provide consumers the information related to the terms of their agreements with financial companies during their application for a mortgage, choosing among credit cards, or using any number of other consumer financial products. (http://www.consumerfinance.gov/the-bureau/). The mortgage market is the single largest market for consumer financial products and services in the United States, with approximately $10.3 trillion in loans outstanding. During the last decade, the market went through an unprecedented cycle of expansion and contraction that was fuelled in part by the securitization of mortgages and creation of increasingly sophisticated derivative products. This led to the collapse of financial system in 2008 and sparked the most severe recession in the United States. Four years later,...

There is a chance that somewhere in the near future I could develop Lupus Nephritis (LN) (renal disease stemming from SLE). Yes, this regulation could affect me in a positive manner. If the FDA approves treatment and new drugs to help suppress SLE, this could mean less people will develop LN. 2. Describe the proposal/change.

...Melinda Roberson GM520 Week 2 Homework I am choosing to write my paper on the Hours of Service of Drivers, Proposed Rule, 75 FR 82170, December 29, 2010. The administrative agency which controls the regulation is the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). This proposal interests me because when I was in middle school my cousin was hit by a driver which ended her life. After extensive investigation they found that the driver fell asleep behind the wheel due to him working two days straight. This proposal will not affect me or the business in which I am working in but it will give me peace of mind if passed because no one should have to lose their loved one in such a tragic way. The proposal is to help promote safety and to protect driver health, FMCSA proposes to revise the regulations for hours of service for drivers of property-carrying commercial motor vehicles (CMVs). To achieve these goals, the proposed rule would provide flexibility for drivers to take breaks when needed and would reduce safety and health risks associated with long hours. The proposed rule would make seven changes from current requirements. The proposed rule would make seven changes from current requirements.

Will this proposed regulation affect you or the business in which you are working? If so, how? The subject of immigration is well known among students, workers, and employers, and in fact, to most everyone residing within the United States. For me, this topic is especially significant as I myself was once a foreign student who went through the immigration process. However, from the promulgation of the first immigration law in the 1950s, these laws have evolved and have affected all individuals in one way or another. In 2000, a proposal for immigration reform was brought to Congress due to the shortages of workers in the food industry (Robin, 2000). Immigration laws have changed several times since then. What is the relation between the 2000 and 2008 laws? In February 2008, the Department of Homeland Security proposed amendments to its immigration regulations. More specifically, The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and U.S. Customs and Border Protection presented a proposal affecting all H-2A nonimmigrant workers. Businesses in particular needed to understand what was changing and how it affected them and their employees. 2. Describe the proposal/change.
