...accurate before trusting it as fact. Use of computers in education and research has completely changed the way things were made before. For example, a lecture to the students or the presentation of a paper to a Congress are completely different with respect to those of only a few decades ago, when blackboard, transparencies or photographic slides were used. There are many positive aspects of using computers, for example making a talk very attractive. However, there are also negative aspects. In this paper an analysis is presented of advantages and disadvantages I experienced and of consequences of using computers.

As soon as an employee gets to know some confidential information, he becomes inquisitive and passes the details then to his closest friend who in turn passes it to other. Thus, it spreads hastily. 2. The managers get to know the reactions of their subordinates on their policies. Thus, the feedback obtained is quick compared to formal channel of communication. 3. The grapevine creates a sense of unity among the employees who share and discuss their views with each other. Thus, grapevine helps in developing group cohesiveness. 4. The grapevine serves as an emotional supportive value. 5. The grapevine is a supplement in those cases where formal communication does not work. Disadvantages of Grapevine Communication 1. The grapevine carries partial information at times as it is more based on rumours. Thus, it does not clearly depicts the complete state of affairs. 2.

The grapevine may hamper the goodwill of the organization as it may carry false negative information about the high level people of the organization. A smart manager should take care of all the disadvantages...

..."Attribution and Social Learning" Please respond to the following:•From the first e-Activity, contrast the advantages and disadvantages of just-in-time learning. Evaluate whether or not this is a valid and worthwhile investment to help increase the productivity within an organization. Describe your personal experience(s) with just-in-time learning.Just in time learning I think is a great advancement in the way we acquire and retain information. Per the “The Head First Formula” article I read it goes into how the brain functions to retain important information. And with this study they are able to create books toaccommodate their research to get all the information you need.The advantage of just in time learning would be the ability to get information quickly andreproduce what you learned, cutting training cost and time needed to train, or even the need for trainers as a lot of just in time learning is now web based either as a video or power point. The disadvantage would be the skipping of fundamentals, it’s nice to get to the bottom line or what the item is for example learning excel, just in time learning would dig into how to start using the software and options, rather than stepping back and explaining more about its background, what can be achieved in details..etcI do think it is a valid and worthwhile investment into an organization but must be very selective on what it will be used for. An example if the organization wants to bring the employees up to speed on a software...

...Unit 3 Individual Project Dana J. Walker Strategic Management October 13, 2013 American Intercontinental University Abstract The following paper will be a comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of the first mover theory and the last mover theory. It will show examples of real firms that have been either successful or a failure as they have employed one of the theories at their company. In my conclusion I will give my recommendation on which theory I think should be used and I will support that with not only details but also an example of a company that I feel validates my claim. The first mover theory can be summed up as “being the first in a new market allowing for an advantage over ones potential rivals” (First-Mover Advantage,” 2013). Doing this will allow for both advantages and also disadvantages to the business that adopts this mind set and then proceeds on that course of action. First Mover Advantages: * Ability to capture market share majority – This is important because “the market’s perception of the product or service is driven by your market share and that determines you prerequisite for growth” (“Why is Large Market Share,” 2008). * Ability to become the low cost leader – Doing this means the firm can minimize your cost to pass the savings on to the customers. This builds customer loyalty to you brand or service. * Create and protect intellectual property – The creation and protection of intellectual property allows the firm to...

...How you spent your last holiday (Describe my last holiday) During my last school holidays, I spent a few days at my cousin’s house at Morib, a well-known sea resort. I shall never forget that visit. On the day I arrived at Morib, my cousin told me that he would do to make my stay there a very interesting one. He said that he would make a raft to use it in the sea. Then he would buy fishing net to catch some fish in the shallow water near the coast. When I heard all this, I was very delighted because it was one of the reasons that I had decided to visit my cousin. We then walked up to the beach which is near his house. While we were there, sometime in the evening, the sea looked extremely beautiful. I saw the islands and hills in the distance, the birds in the air, and a few boys and girls playing on the beach. I also saw some fishermen coming out of the water with their catch. All this was indeed very interesting to look at. On the next day, my cousin and I collected some tree trunks from the forest nearby. As my cousin’s house is close to the sea, we decided to make the raft on the beach itself. It took us almost the whole morning to make the raft. We then had our lunch and went to Banting, the nearest town, to buy fishing net. After that we returned to my cousin’s house. In the evening we put the raft on the sea. The water was still high, but the raft floated quite well. My cousin and I sat on it and began to row it by using the oars that we had made ourselves...

...In order to motivate employees, many companies are using various techniques and empowering employees is one of them. Employee’s empowerment means that the employee can make decisions and take risks rispecting the company’s vision and goals. However, the empowerment has many pro and cons. Some of the advantages are: increase in motivation, productivity, efficiency, creativity, reduce costs, and focus on quality. Also, when the employee is empowered will become as an entrepreneurial and will take risks that will translate in a higher income for the company or success. However, the employees take higher risks it can be a disadvantage as it can be even cause a loss from taking the wrong decision. As for example, an employee could try to predict the sales in the future for a particular product and decide to order too much of that product that will be difficult to sell. Another disadvantage of employee empowerment is the security of private information being not secure as everyone can access the information. For example, in medical office patients information need to be safe, but an employee decides to take work at home and all the paper documents with patient information now can be accessed by everyone visiting her house. Furthermore, managers can have hard times to delegate because people will become arrogant increasing conflicts and causing issues with the interpersonal relation, therefore, communication. Empowerment can make managers fear of losing their job as their performance...

...Advantages and Disadvantages of Advanced Technology By Jin Sun K., Wellesley, MA Email me when Jin S. contributes work Today, we can’t imagine ourselves without technological advances such as cars, microwaves, cell phones, computers, and televisions. However, technology won’t stop here, but develop further. As technology develops, there are not only advantages, but disadvantages from them. A few advantages of upgraded technology are that one can save time and money and life will be made easier as a result of not having to do all the hard labor. In contrast, the disadvantages of upgraded technology are that people will loose their jobs to machines that will do the work for them. In addition, machines and robots are too complex for most people to use. I personally would want a developed world with advanced technologies. The following are the reasons why I do want a more advanced world with advanced technologies. My major reason is because when you have advanced technologies, life is much easier as robots and machines would take over your daily life chores. For example, daily life chores might be serving your breakfast, cutting your lawn, or cleaning your room. With robots and machines doing one’s chores one has time to relax. Another reason is because unlike humans, robots and machines do not make mistakes when programmed correctly. They always accomplish tasks perfectly so you won’t have to worry about making a mistake and getting trouble. Other reasons why I want advanced...
