This paper will discuss how well the article Computer Modelling and Simulation of Bakeries' Production Planning written and researched by Walid Barakat Hussein, Florian Mitzscherling Hecker, Thomas Martin Becker published in 2009.

The first step of effective business research is stating a clear purpose. The article starts out with an introduction that states businesses past troubles with understanding the “sequence of activities required to complete a process-whether fulfilling an order, producing a part, or servicing a customer,” (par 1) which is what the ARENA computer system is supposed to help with. Later in the introduction: “This research work presents a methodology of modeling and simulation of production system using Arena software simulation tool, in order to deal efficiently with the production procedures and processes, and propose an appropriate system structure that will operate according to given specifications,” (par 3).

...ETHICS NOTES-Outline: 1: Summary of writing intent leading to thesis 2: Define ethics 3: Discuss the importance of ethics in the business environment 4: Connecting Law and Ethics/The role of ethics in law 5: Elaborate on the ethics side of each case. 6: Summary The question of whether an employee can be terminated for off-duty activity can be answered in numerous ways. Some occupations require employee carry a firm moral code even when they are not present at workplaces such as priests, CEOs, and other public or civil servants while other occupations are more lax or do not even require anything more of their employees rather than to show up on time and perform at expected performance levels. The varying levels of standards, in regards to moral code, with the multitude of industries pose the question of what the underlining basis of these rules are. Because as an employer or manager contemplates the reasoning behind the termination of an employee, there must be a general rule of thumb to abide by in order to make the decision. The rules that the employer or manager relies on are called ethics. When an employee is considered for termination, an ethical approach from the employer’s side as well as the employee’s side must be apparent and clear. In order to better understand the role ethics play in employee relations, we must have a thorough understanding of what ethics is and it’s importance in the business environment. Furthermore, in the context of employee termination...

...On the Economic Impacts of Reweable Energy Acts In ever changing world where every political decision must conern itself with the effect on the economy, no change in the way our world works is as great as the contiuing shift from the hydrocarbon energy ecoonmy which is defined by dependnce on the use of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, to the new renewable or green energy economy in which techolgies are being further developed to power our world through clean sources of energy such as wind, hydro power, geotheral, biomass and others. The shift is slow, but it will begin to speed up as the people of both america and the world become further aware of the long term cost of hydrocarbon consumption and effects on the enviroment, and the lowering costs for both personal and buisness use of renwable energy as technoligy becomes more efficant. The econmic benefits of such a shift cannot be deneied, ranging from job creation to positive impacts on the terrif defficit to bennifits in the small buisness sector. In looking at renewable energys impact on the economy the one aspect the most every citizen shall look closely to is the potental of job growth and creation. Utilizing these energy sources are great growth methods for the economy which for too long has been dependent on tradional means, the improvment in the economy comes hand in hand with job creation. Money invested in these energy sources is spent on the materials too build systems such as wind tubines, solar panals...

...TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 2 ETHICAL LEADERSHIP 2 CORPORATE CULTURE 3 CULTURE LEARNING 4 CULTURE CHANGE 5 CONCLUSION 6 RECOMMENDATIONS 7 REFERENCES 9 APPENDIX 13 INTRODUCTION Ethical leaders should act ethically all the time, not just in situations where it is expected. Ciulla and Forsyth (as cited in Olivier, 2012, p. 70) suggests that “[t]he good leader, . . . is challenged to be both technically good, i.e. effective at getting the job-at-hand-done and morally good, i.e. responsible for what he or she has done.” Leadership and corporate culture dictate the acceptable ethical standards of an organisation to their followers. Where leaders are identified as “ethical role models”, followers are more likely to imitate this behaviour and conform to similar values and beliefs explicitly delineated by their leaders and organisations (Shin, 2012). However the major challenge encountered by organisational leaders is about gaining the trust and commitment of followers to conform to the ethical standards required to achieve strategic objectives of their organisation (Caldwell, Hayes & Long, 2010). In this report, we define ethical leadership by looking at business ethics and leadership simultaneously. We analyse ethical leadership in the context of culture learning and culture change in ensuring ethical behaviour and Corporate Social Responsibility in organisations. We conclude this report by summarising the findings identified...
