...Article Review MGT/426 March 18, 2015 Article Review Committing yourself to those that you do not know requires an open mind, heart and willingness to delve into emotions and feelings not typically found in a work environment. This trait is becoming more common within the workplace as it is a necessity to make the effort in order to understand and reciprocate typical thought processes, feelings and actions within a business institution. Article Summary Corey Jamison suggests a pattern of guidelines that shows how to make efforts efficiently for adjustment within a client based business. She stresses the importance of the assessment of organizational needs, and recognizes the identification of organization pattern; as well as the concept of living in a client system. She also points out the importance of understanding and appreciating the distinctive qualities and specific needs of working effective change within a client-organization. She refers to this process of coming to know an organization or business as “living in”. She suggests that "living in" a client system informs the change agents what they must be aware of in order to understand the target organization or business and their relevance to it. It also enables them the ability to discern the nuances of the system itself. (2001) Corey Jamison’s recommendations Mrs. Jamison poses several questions that are instrumental to the message of her article. Such as: How one is able to...

Journal of Technology Management & Innovation; 2011, Vol. 6 Issue 2, p14-39. Retrieved from Ebscohost The study in this write up was conducted to carefully evaluate if any; the relationship between bring up new ideas and working guidelines and the benefits to a company down the road. Studies have over time suggested that agencies run under government make efforts to encourage creativity and new ideas in small and medium scale businesses. These agencies do this to strengthen the competitive edge of small and medium scale enterprises. But we must state that at this time, there are no long term results to validate these efforts. The writers used graphic projections to design a business model for these enterprises to follow. The type of companies studied shared a lot in common; like size and positions on the business ladder. The results were sufficient enough to show an increase in revenue but not profits or productivity in these companies. Article Two: Almirall, E., & Casadesus-Masanell, R. (2010).

The world as a whole is consistently changing at a rapid pace and those who do not welcome it are left behind. This hold true in almost any circumstance especially in the business market. This is why it is important for organizations to encourage continuous learning amongst all of its employees (Chron, 2014). A learning organization is defined as an entity who welcomes and collects knowledge to make the necessary changes to remain innovative enough evoke a powerful competitive edge over its competitors. This is done by creating an environment that encourages the employees to learn by using critical thinking, taking risks, and implementing new ideas. It is also important to understand those same employees are welcomed to learn from his or her mistakes then placing value on the employee’s contributions. It is from those learned mistakes, experiences, and experiments the organization has the ability to learn and move forward. After such, the management should disseminate the knowledge throughout the organization and establish what had been learned.

...Negotiation Strategy Article Analysis James Click University of Phoenix Organizational Negotiations MGT 445 Dr. Christina Aleksic April 29, 2013 Negotiation Strategy Article Analysis Negotiations can be an in-depth process that may have a huge effect on an individual’s future. Selecting an effective negotiating strategy is vital when negotiating with other parties. There are numerous styles of negotiation strategies that an individual can use to have a fruitful negotiation. Several negotiation strategies are including collaboration, accommodation, competition, and avoidance (Lewicki, Saunders, & Barry, 2006). Dependent on the situation, one strategy may be more effective than another strategy. Two such examples in which different negotiation strategies were functional are Negotiating New Vehicle Purchases (Craver, 2005) and Town Settles Mall Suit (Chiaramida, 2010). A review of each article, including the application of negotiation strategies and a compare and contrast analysis will highlight the differences from each scenario. Article One (Distributive) In Negotiating New Vehicle Purchases (Craver, 2005), the competitive strategy is used. The article walks through six negotiation stages encountered when purchasing a car. The goal of the article is to prepare the buyer for the dealership’s tactics and maximize the buyer’s negotiation power. The first negotiation phase begins before entering the dealership by determining the true dealer cost for a vehicle. The...

...The Impact of Financial Education in High School and College On Financial Literacy and Subsequent Financial Decision Making by Lewis Mandell Kermit O. Hanson Visiting Professor of Finance and Business Economics Foster School of Business, University of Washington Senior Fellow, Initiative on Financial Security, Aspen Institute Presented at the American Economic Association Meetings San Francisco, CA January 4, 2009 The Impact of Financial Education in High School and College On Financial Literacy and Subsequent Financial Decision Making Abstract: Many consumers appear to lack the financial literacy needed to make financial decisions in their self-interest. A growing number of analysts and politicians are blaming the intersection of low levels of financial literacy with complex, financially-engineered products for the current economic meltdown and have proposed a number of solutions to this problem. These solutions range from mandatory education in personal finance to required simplification of financial products and greatly increased regulation. This paper examines evidence on the effectiveness of personal finance education on both financial literacy and financial behavior. If the problem can be solved through education, it is likely to reduce the perceived need to limit choice in the marketplace for retail financial products. If education is shown to be ineffective, the future of financial product innovation and financial engineering may be greatly limited. Supporting...

...KFF Problem Statement Kudler Fine Foods (KFF) was established in 1998 when Kathy Kudler fulfilled her vision of establishing her own gourmet food store. Her passion for gourmet food enabled her to research the neighborhood as well as the product assortment mix that should be offered. Since 1998, Kathy has expanded KFF from one store to three stores and has plans to continue with expansion efforts throughout California as well as outside of California. The long-term vision of KFF is to become the premier gourmet grocery store for shoppers interested in purchasing the finest imported and domestic bakery, meats, produce, cheeses, and wines (University of Phoenix, 2008). Kathy has several opportunities that needs to be addressed within her organization before this goal may be realized. She must hire more personnel; empower the people currently in position to do their jobs, and she must remain relevant to the customers. As identified within the Strength Weakness Opportunity and Threat (SWOT) Analysis performed on the company, there are several opportunities that Kathy is currently facings, one of which is operations management within the stores (University of Phoenix, 2003, p. 8). Initially, Kathy took responsibility for majority of the operations management decisions within the La Jolla store. As she has expanded to the Del Mar and Encinitas store locations, not much has changed. Although she has a larger staff and more stores, Kathy has not delegated effectively the tasks that...

...Virtual Teams: A Review of Current Literature and Directions for Future Research1 Anne Powell Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Gabriele Piccoli Cornell University Blake Ives University of Houston Abstract Information technology is providing the infrastructure necessary to support the development of new organizational forms. Virtual teams represent one such organizational form, one that could revolutionize the workplace and provide organizations with unprecedented levels of flexibility and responsiveness. As the technological infrastructure necessary to support virtual teams is now readily available, further research on the range of issues surrounding virtual teams is required if we are to learn how to manage them effectively. While the findings of team research in the traditional environment may provide useful pointers, the idiosyncratic structural and contextual issues surrounding virtual teams call for specific research attention. This article provides a review of previously published work and reports on the findings from early virtual team research in an effort to take stock of the current state of the art. The review is organized around the input – process – output model and categorizes the literature into issues pertaining to inputs, socio-emotional processes, task processes, and outputs. Building on this review we critically evaluate virtual team research and develop research questions that can guide future inquiry in this fertile are of inquiry. ACM Categories:...

...Leadership and Your Career Cristina A Flores-Roselló University of Phoenix MGT/ 521 09/23/2015 Dba. Carmen Bonilla-Quianes Leadership and your career Leadership is a characteristic that not many people possess. There are people that know how to drive a group or an organization but that is not the same as leading it. Leading is getting the organization or that group of people to a whole new level. When someone leads is aiming for a big change. Leaders also have traits like charisma, intelligence, persuasion, positive energy but the most important is that they influence almost everyone he or she touches. The behavioral approach, especially the relationship oriented leadership is the theory that appeals to me the most because it talks about empowering employees, being considerate and serve to others. When a leader or manager has those characteristics in any work place everything works. They focus on listening and are aware of their employees’ strengths and weaknesses. Also the leader is committed to see and help his subordinates grow. A key element in any organization is the customer service because without customers the business is not going to prosper. Also when you are considerate with employees, depending on their situations, you win them. They are going to work satisfied and knowing that if they give their best there is going to be a reward or compensation for the excellent work they are doing. However, when you as a leader or manager empower your employees, you are...

...Performance Measurement Penny Myers MGT 437 April 18, 2011 Performance Measurement Successful companies invest time, money, and resources in projects with the goal of earning a return on investment. The project manager ensures projects stay on schedule and within budget and performance management gives the project manager visibility to ensure they are operating within the agreed upon time and cost constraints and that the project is performing according to plan. Performance measurement is important because it is the process an organization uses to establish parameters to reach desired results (Schied, 2010). Measuring project performance allows the project manager to identify cost and schedule problems and take action to remedy problems quickly. Measuring project performance also provides the organization with a picture of how healthy the project is and can help establish improvement initiatives. When managing a project, triple constraints of budget, time, and performance are important measures. The budget is managed by controlling resources according to the financial plan of the project. Time keeps the team on schedule and allows meeting of deadlines. Performance measurements should be created by project and be based on the scope, goals, and objectives of the stakeholders (Schied, 2010). Measurements are specific to each project but three measurements that could be used to measure performance include speed, accuracy, and volume. Speed shows...
