...As stated by Lewis , p , j. Project Leadership ( 2003 ) There are four different kind of Leadership styles by focusing in 2 important dimensions of leadership behavior – Task behavior and Relatioship behavior. By indicating the “ Strength “ of each dimension simply as high or low, he arrive at four combinations which can be describe as 4 different styles of Leadership as follows : Directive Leadership: In Directive-leadership style leader are more focus on task itself . Leader will explain what must be done / how to do it / and when must be done with some deadlines. Consultative Leadership : Consultative is where leader are high supportive and high emphasis on task. In consultative leader are directive but in little more supportive way. Here leader will explain what needs to be done / when it has to be done and why it has to be done by offering some supportiveness to the team memebers. Participative Leadership : High supportive but less focus on task. Here leader might say what has to be done but not so much how to do it. Delegative Leadership : Low task and low supportive behavior. Leader will told followers simply what should be done and them left them alone to figure it out how to accompolish it by team members. There is no such style as the best style when it comes to effective project mangement . It all depends on situation of the project and its followers. In addition to that its ability and willingness of followers to perform a given task. However...

It plays an important role in directing and helping organisation to achieve the objectives. In this context, the strategy is considered as the way which organisations communicate with the competitive landscape to obtain the above average return. Therefore, to build an effective strategy, there is a need for profoundly understanding the competitive environment and estimating correctly the resource of organisation. This essay will examine the role of strategy as a “bridge” in order to assist firms to reach their targets in the competitive landscape. Definition There are many ways to definite strategy, however, it can be found that almost of them accept that ‘Strategy is an integrated and coordinated set of commitments and actions designed to exploit core competencies and gain a competitive advantage’. (Hitt, Ireland and Hoskinsson 2009). Organisational resources include skills of employees, finances, capital equipments, patents and talented managers (Hit, Ireland and Hoskinsson 2009). Organisation resource is defined as ‘an asset, competency, process, skill, or knowledge controlled by the corporation’ (Wheelen and Hunger 2002). Competitive landscape is more complex in the context of globalisation; however, the fundamental constituents of landscape are customers, suppliers and competitors. Method To prove...

...mind, body and spirit, to inspire moments of optimism - through our brands and actions and finally, to create value and make a difference everywhere we engage. The firm has a very intriguing business model, which as many have pointed out, is restrictive. There is the underlying fact of the secrecy in its formula for beverages, and especially coke. This ensures that the person involved in the preparation of the formulae is not aware of all the components and the entire procedure (OECD, 2001). While this has safeguarded the secret of the organization for decades, it has served to be restrictive since other areas, with their own bottling plants cannot perform the same duties. This essentially slows down the production of the drinks over the world. In other areas, however, Coca-Cola has been very straightforward in pointing out the areas of concern where it could be most effective and others that could be detrimental to its success. However, this business model allows there to be instances that allow unethical practices in the staff of the organization. Business Ethics Guideline and Culture for International Companies Business ethics does not only cover the organizations that do business in one country, those that have branches in other countries and regions also need to exercise business ethics in the respective regions they work in. For instance, a multinational organization, such as Barclays will need to perform a high level of ethics in all the countries in which they have...

...companies tend to avoid due to the complications that tend to arise when it is brought up. Though ethics can be a sensitive subject it is very important in life, business and especially in management. Managerial ethics is something that companies say they have when it comes to how they do business but are there managers really ethical or are they just looking the other way when it comes to ethical issues that might arise within their company. Keywords: Ethics, Management Ethics: Why is it Essential in Management? When it comes to ethics in management it is essential for business to have, but most of the time it is just a way for businesses to check off the box saying “My business has ethical leaders”. This can be said for companies, branches of the military and people that hold a position over other people. As Marshall Schminke states in his book, Managerial Ethics Managing the Psychology of Morality, Ethics is not something that can be taken lightly due to the fact that it is something that holds great value when it comes to how people see a leader or manager. Though it may be hard for companies to say yes all of my managers are ethical it is something that is an ongoing process within companies (Schiminke, 2011). Ethical Leadership When it comes to management nowadays it has many issues that affect the way business make sure that their personnel are ethical leaders, but is that to say that all leaders are unethical.

And a customer would only spend money on a product/service, if it creates value for him/her. So, in a way, marketing creates ‘VALUE’. Today, Marketing, more than anything else, is to identify and create a product/service that would be valuable to a customer and convey that message to the customer effectively. Much has been written about customer orientation, customer relationship management (CRM), Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) metrics, Customer Centric organization models, customer retention, customer care etc. And we see the poor customer is still the most dissatisfied lot.

Despite a substantial number of studies on service quality, the reasons why guests revisit a hotel and why a high-quality service from the F&B department is needed have remained unanswered. This paper aims to review existing literature on service quality management in the F&B departments of hotels, its process, and the effective service quality management framework. This paper discusses famous models, and explains Parasuraman’s dimensional framework of service quality management in the area of F&B and its application to the hotel industry.

...automatic machinery which are highly inflexible and have high volume/low variety products. This nature of the textile industry makes implementing lean manufacturing techniques a challenge; hence implementing lean techniques in a textile industry has been taken up as a challenge. We have chosen a combination of value stream mapping (VSM), 5S, kanban, kaizen, poka-yoke, and visual controls to improve the processes. The findings of this study reveal that a thorough analysis of the process, setup, and changeover time (CO), use of colour coding for identification of volume-mix, use of kaizen and quality circles which empower the workforce, are some of the various keys to a successful lean implementation in a textile industry. Keywords:Project manegement; lean manufacturing; agile manufacturing; value stream mapping; VSM; supply chain management. 1 Introduction What Is a Project Manager? SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION TO PROJECT MANAGEMENT Project management is the art of matching a project's goals, tasks, and resources to accomplish a goal as needed. We say "as needed" because one has limited time, money, and resources (human and machinery) with which to accomplish a goal. One can think of a project as a process. Figure 1 shows this process as a simplified block diagram. Figure 1: Simple Project Management System The process involves inputs and outputs.
