Through a variety of sources including modern literature, film, images of landscape, traditional academic texts and the daily news, we will pursue an understanding of those elements that characterize the region, as well as those features that are distinct and mark different peoples and places. We will examine local, sub-national, national, and international issues relating to identity and status, history, environment, economy and other topics, in an attempt to create a portrait of daily life in the many venues of the region, whether they be urban or rural, coastal or desert, North African or Asian, Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Arab, Israeli, Turkish, Iranian, and so on.

...The problem with worker motivation has existed since the relationship of workers & owners first developed and these problems are likely to exist in the future as well. This has been a common subject for research by many theorist such as: Fredrick Taylor, Abraham Maslow, Douglas McGregor, Frederick Hertzberg, Karl Marx and Harry Braverman. I will discuss the critical and mainstream theories around the topic of worker motivation and then give examples to link them to current times, this will then lead to a conclusion supported by facts and theories. The main stream theorist I would like to draw upon first is Fredrick Taylor and his theory of scientific management. He linked productivity with economic reward and put forward the concept that worker are motivated primarily through pay or ''economic reward''. This concept of Fredrick has been accepted by management all over the world and still holds true for many business where productivity is linked to sales and then to economic rewards. [ (Locke, 1982, pp. 14-24) ]. Mayo conducted experiments between 1927 and 1937, that later came to be known as hawthorn experiments and came to the conclusion that physical, economic and social environment can effect workers productivity. These experiments were criticized by a number of theorist including Alex Cary, in the ''American sociological review (1976)'', and as such I won't be using them extensively for this essay. Abraham Maslow on the other hand came up with a more general approach to...

This paper also reveals how disaster management influences the management style and process. This paper also recognises lessons that can be learnt to minimise the consequences that occurred. Causes, Triggers and Drivers In a disaster, there are number of causes, triggers and drivers for a specific chaos to happen. In Costa Concordia’s issue the main cause of this was the ship hitting a sandbar with a huge rock on Friday evening near the island of Giglio in Italy (Westcott, 2012). This cause was triggered by the captain of the ship have sailed to close to land as this was an unapproved and unauthorised deviation in course (Johnston, 2012) and the captain confessed that he made a navigational error and gave an order for a turn too late (BBC News, 2013). The drivers for the chaos were the rock that the ship hit was not marked on the nautical chart (Johnston, 2012) or failure of electronic navigation systems. The crew of the ship had also failed to give instructions on how to evacuate the ship due to evacuation drill was not conducted earlier (Westcott, 2012).

...Diversity is an aspect of life that is almost inescapable, especially in the workplace. As we go about our daily lives, we are surrounded by people and cultures that differ from what was once considered the typical American lifestyle. There are endless options of food, music and social activities allowing us a small chance to experience and explore what life is like in other countries. Businesses are also recognizing the need and importance of diversity. Many have begun investing in diversity and inclusion as part of their overall management structures. To continually challenge their practice, organizations are striving to make the connection between those principles and their corporate performance (Chaney & Martin, 2014). This paper will explore some of the key issues regarding diversity in the US and India. Cultural variations, communication and management styles will be examined for a more in depth look at the ever changing corporate environment. Cultural Variations Carol Milano (2012) with ASME.org analyzes that in the United States, especially in large cities, a “time is money” attitude is common. Often working professionals appear to be in a rush, which gives the impression that Americans tend to get down to business rather quickly. Many countries have a different perspective and work ethic, where people are not in such a hurry. They may prefer to get to know a colleague before they start working together, which reiterates the fact that teamwork is an area rich...
