...Understanding and Coping with Change Darlene Swanagan BUS 610: Organizational Behavior Instructor: Diane Hamilton September 4, 2015 Introduction Change is constant in any relationship or business. Change is defined as something becoming different. According to (Gitomer, 2014 pg. 9) how would change influence my existence, family and employment? These are things that people face when confronted with change. It is a redirection of what is norm. As an employee, (Baack, 2012) states that employees struggle with change for various causes and even those can be irrational at times. This paper will review a situation that involved change and how a company dealt with changes to the daily workforce. The Change Companies that merge face a daunting task of determining the best course of action for the newly formed company. The definition of merger according to (Sanders, n.d), this is the uniting of two or more organizations. This task is combining all departments that will serve the new entity. This acquisition means that some of the employees that serve in the same capacity can be eliminated so that both parties have the best workforce suited for the position. The process can be lengthy due to the size of the original companies. There should a strategy in place to make the transition. This is change management. There are different dynamics in the process of organizational change (Edmonds, 2001 33-36). These effects...

...late 19th and early 20th century evolved into new women, so too do they escape to a greater freedom (just as these bad women experienced). Whether the modern city is to be considered an enabling place for women or a threatening place for women, there is no doubt that a developmental change resulted from the war itself. Sime explores how the urban setting (and thus, the new woman) affects society. In a way, the methods of transportation the time (setting) of Sime’s and Ross’ stories help character development. For “Munitions!”, the past indicates Bertha’s (among many) struggles to become a new woman. The past is all about where she worked. Who she was before the war incited this fast and furious change for herself and the women involved. The bus in Munitions indicates the present, and more importantly, the freedom that comes with the present. The choice of setting allows for the growth of characters, but in this case, it points out the growth of urban lifestyle as well. Before the war, a big part of Bertha’s life was about being, “noiseless” (Sime, 282). Now, Bertha and the women are talkative, outspoken, squabbling (Sime, 279) and boldly expressing themselves regarding sexual desire (Sime, 282). Now Bertha and the women’s lives are full of noise. Martin reinforces the point that Sime was writing, “turn-of-the-century New Woman fiction” (Martin, 44). On another note, there is an excitement that comes with an exclamation mark. The exclamation mark at the end of “Munitions!”, can simulate...

...Running head: ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS Organizational Behavior Analysis for Week -6 Final Ashford University Organizational Behavior BUS 610 Organizational Behavior Analysis for Week -6 Final I will be talking about my current job as a Child Protective Investigator (CPI) also known as Child Protective Services (or CPS). This is the governmental agency that is tasked with investigating child abuse or neglect. The primary concern of a CPI is the safety of the child; they do this by assessing the risk involved. By weighing that risk the CPI has to make the decision rather to remove the children or child from the home or place services within the home that will allow them to function as a family in a more productive manner. Once the CPI has made the decision to remove the child or children, the next step in the process is find and create a plan that will eventually return the child to a more proficient and safer family environment. The CPI will assign the family to a caseworker who is tasked with developing a plan to administer to the parents that will educate them on better ways to care for the children and meet all their needs, and create and environment free from abuse or neglect. CPI’s deal with a variety of families, with different backgrounds, values, religions, cultures and beliefs, which have a bearing on the way they parent; this means that CPS has be flexible and understanding when it comes to dealing with the problems they face within these family structures...

...Organizational Behavior Analysis Timothy Carter BUS 610 Dr. Carl Proehl August 5, 2013 Organizational Behavior Analysis Organizations rely heavily on human resource to maintain their competitive advantage. A strong organizational culture motivates employees to help achieve organizational goals. Productivity increases and positive atmosphere prevails in an organization when attitudes and behaviors are in conformity with the organizational culture (Baack, 2013). This paper will examine the action of individuals and groups within an organization. The organization that will be examined is a small school located in rural Guyana, South America. As the story goes, the school was established by the Anglican Church many years ago, and its principal, May. I. Ogle, a staunch Christian, actually had a physical input in the construction of the building. She set very high standards in the disciplines prescribed in the curriculum. The school was populated by less than 200 students and nine teachers. About eighty to eighty five percent of the teachers were former students who grew up in the small farming community which the school served. A young teacher joined the staff. For convenience, James will be used to refer to that teacher. James was assigned to Grade 3. The teacher in charge of that class was a senior teacher who had been in the profession for over fifteen years. Over a period of several months, James was taught a number of important skills. These skills...

...IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SYSTEMS, MAN, AND CYBERNETICS—PART A: SYSTEMS AND HUMANS, VOL. 30, NO. 4, JULY 2000 421 What Makes Consumers Buy from Internet? A Longitudinal Study of Online Shopping Moez Limayem, Mohamed Khalifa, and Anissa Frini Abstract—The objective of this study is to investigate the factors affecting online shopping. A model explaining the impact of different factors on online shopping intentions and behavior is developed based on the Theory of Planned Behavior. The model is then tested empirically in a longitudinal study with two surveys. Data collected from 705 consumers indicate that subjective norms, attitude, and beliefs concerning the consequences of online shopping have significant effects on consumers’ intentions to buy online. Behavioral control and intentions significantly influenced online shopping behavior. The results also provide strong support for the positive effects of personal innovativeness on attitude and intentions to shop online. The implications of the findings for theory and practice are discussed. Index Terms—e-commerce, online shopping, TPB. I. INTRODUCTION HE use of the Internet as a shopping and purchasing medium has seen unprecedented growth. Most experts expect the global electronic market to dramatically impact commerce in the twenty first century. Jaffray [1] estimates the total volume of cybersales to reach $201 billion in 2001 and Forrester Research [2] predicts electronic commerce activities to reach $327 billion in 2002...

By DEL SOCORRO, Patrick GOROSPE, Karen DOCTO, Reniel C. RECIDO, Princess DOMETITA, Joemar REDOBLADO, Levy-lu 23 March 2012 CHAPTER I MARKETING ASPECT INTRODUCTION Nowadays, it’s really hard to think what business to establish because it seems that everything is being already offered in the market by different entrepreneurs. Though it’s hard to think of what business to introduce, the group realized that creating a business is not about creating a new product but it can also be finding of what supply doesn’t equate its demand, and make an answer for it. T-shirt printing has a high consumer demand in the market but there is no sufficient numbers of printing shops that can accommodate the number of consumers that causes delays of the production. Therefore the group decided to establish a printing business to catch that market. The group named the business, “Mass Print”, which means “quantity” or “volume”, since this business aims to reach the demands of the mass (the people), in terms of printing demand. OBJECTIVES The group aims: * To be recognized as premier business in providing sublimation/printing service. * To provide the clients/consumers ultimate...

Rapid population growth, poverty and income disparities, overcrowded urban cores, poorly designed road networks, spatial mismatches between housing and jobs, deteriorating environmental conditions, and economic losses from extreme traffic by congestion are among the more vexing challenges faced by developing cities that could be assuaged through improved coordination of transportation and urban development. is is underscored by examples reviewed in this paper from South Asia, Southeast Asia, China, India, Africa, and South America. It is concluded that whatever is done to improve transportation and land-use integration must be pro-poor. e cardinal features of integrated and sustainable transport and urbanism everywhere—accessible urban activities and safe, attractive walking and cycling environs—are particularly vital to the welfare and prosperity of urbanites in the world’s poorest countries.
