...Appendix B Sample Essay Using the S.M.A.R.T. Plan for Goal-Setting Larry Elder, a popular author and host of a talk-radio program in Southern California, believes “a goal without a plan is just a wish” (Goals, 2008, para. 2). Whether you have personal, educational, or professional goals, having a well-developed plan increases the likelihood you will actually achieve those goals. One effective goal-setting plan is the S.M.A.R.T. model—an acronym for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely. First, set a goal that is specific rather than general. “Earn a college degree,” for example, is too general. Use the six W’s (Top, 2008) to make the goal more specific: Who: Joe Student What: College degree Where: University of Phoenix Online When: By the fall of 2012 Which: B.S. in Business Administration Why: To qualify for a position in management Your goal then becomes “I, Joe Student, will earn a B.S. in Business Administration at University of Phoenix Online by the fall of 2012 in order to qualify for a position in management.” Information that is more specific helps you visualize your goal and stay on track. Second, make the goal measurable by establishing both short-term and long-term goals (Top, 2008). “Finish General Education (G.E.) requirements by the fall of 2010” is an example of a short-term goal you must complete before you can reach your final goal. Celebrating these benchmarks along the way enhances your motivation to go on. Additionally...

Comparing trends of 2007, 2009 and 2011, it shows an increasing desire for a healthier eating pattern. In 2011, 41% of the population has the intention of a healthier diet, compared to 35% in 2009. 43% of the Dutch found it difficult to take on healthier eating habits in 2011, versus 37% in 2007. Over half of the consumers report that they would like more information on a healthy eating (57% in 2011 versus 35% in 2007). I use this study as a starting point for this research. Consumers would like more information to be able to make healthy choices in food. “Consumer choices for functional foods depend on how consumers perceive and understand the health and nutritional claims.”(van Trijp & Van der Lans, Ivo A, 2007).Van Trijp and Van der Lans performed a large scale research on the consumer perceptions of nutrition and health claims. The purpose of this study was to study the health benefits associated with these claims. They also looked at the type and formulation of different nutrition and health claims and dived into five claim types (content, structure-function, product, disease-risk reduction and marketing claim)...

...rganization theory is about ideas and principles that flow within an association on how work can be done by investigating through different perspective. It is important to study organization as improvements can be carried out to make sure organizations are performing efficiently through developing the organizations structure and mission statement. (Developing an enabling organisational culture, changing organisational culture.). (See Apendix A for some applications of organizational Theory). There are three major perspectives-modernism, symbolic interpretive, and postmodernism to look at organisation which provide broad frameworks to guide our thinking and research. In this essay paper, an effort has been made in discussing how the three perspectives assist us in achieving more comprehensive understanding of complex organisation phenomena- culture within organisation.Organization culture has been defined very differently in the literature. All definition agrees that organizational culture has something to do with the people in the organization, their relations with each other and their thoughts.
