...Organizational Structure Essay Jim Sota Organizational Theory July 16, 2015 Background This project will be looking at the organizational structure of Lime Jamaica (Montego Bay Head Office). Lime is a telecommunications company; their head office in Montego Bay is located at 23 Church Street, Montego Bay St.James. Lime is a public limited company. It is owned by Phil Bently. Lime specializes in phone and internet industry. Organizational structure is very important to a business because it is the framework of the business. Without an organizational structure there would be no order in the business depleting is efficiency. Organizational varies from business to business it depends on various factors. For example: If the business it big or small or if the business is specializing in just one area such as production. It should have a good framework to support its production. I chose this topic because the organizational structure of a business is imperative if a business is to survive and make a profit. Literature Review “An organizational structure can be viewed from different perspectives, Sociology, Economics and Psychology.” (Peter Stimpson, 2007) “An organizational structure is an arrangement of lines of authority, communications, rights and duties of an organization.” (Baligh, 2006).The Organizational structure of a business decides how the roles, power and responsibilities are assigned, controlled, and coordinated, and how information flows between the different...

...stood out. Those three were the Bussa Rebellion in Barbados, Easter 1816, the Demerara Revolt in Guyana, August 1823, and the Sam Sharpe Rebellion in Jamaica which took place in December 1831. The order in which the three rebellions occurred was similar; it was influential as well as extensive. Among all three rebellions there was one common factor. It was a time in which ameliorative proposals (gradual improvement in the slave’s way of life) were being made in Britain. This gave way to widespread rumours that there were measures taking place in metropolitan Britain to grant slaves their freedom but planters were withholding them (Emancipation Rumours). In all three cases this rumour aided in the agitation for freedom and precipitated rebellion. While some historians use these rebellions to make the case that slaves emancipated themselves, others are less liberal. None, however, deny that these later rebellions were pivotal to the passing of the Emancipation Act August 1, 1833. Bussa/Barbados Rebellion 1816 Unexpected The Bussa rebellion of 1816 was not that expected as it is believed that slaves began to plan the rebellion soon after the House of Assembly discussed and rejected the imperial Registry Bill in November 1815 (Beckles 90). This Bill called for the registration of colonial slaves. As a result of this the rebels had discussed from February to rebel in April. The rebellion surprised the white community who believed slaves were well treated and enjoyed...

BACKGROUND BRIEF The Lottery Scam “Advance fee fraud on the internet is a current epidemic that rakes in hundreds of millions of dollars per year. The advent of the internet and proliferation of its use in the 1990s makes it an attractive medium for communicating the fraud, enabling a worldwide reach.”1 Advance Fee Fraud gets its name from the fact that an investor is asked to pay a fee 2 up front or in advance of receiving any proceeds, money etc. These types of scams are not unique to Jamaica and in fact have existed in other parts of the world for some time, as evident from the signature by member and non-member States of the Council of Europe of the Convention on Cybercrime in Budapest, on 23 November 2001, long before this became a major issue for Jamaica. In 1999, the Jamaican Government initiated the liberalization of the telecommunications industry with full liberalization taking effect in March 2003. Since then there has been a...

The marketing environment surrounds and impacts upon the organization. There are three key perspectives on the marketing environment, namely the 'macro-environment,' the 'micro-environment' and the 'internal environment'. [pic][pic][pic][pic][pic] The micro-environment This environment influences the organization directly. It includes suppliers that deal directly or indirectly, consumers and customers, and other local stakeholders. Micro tends to suggest small, but this can be misleading. In this context, micro describes the relationship between firms and the driving forces that control this relationship. It is a more local relationship, and the firm may exercise a degree of influence. The macro-environment This includes all factors that can influence and organization, but that are out of their direct control. A company does not generally influence any laws (although it is accepted that they could lobby or be part of a trade organization). It is continuously changing, and the company needs to be flexible to adapt. There may be aggressive competition and rivalry in a market. Globalization means that there is always the threat of substitute...

In particular, we considered the support given by the two notations in the comprehension and interpretation of data models, comprehension of the change to perform to meet a change request, and detection of defects contained in a data model. The experiments involved university students with different levels of ability and experience. The results demonstrate that using UML class diagrams subjects achieved better comprehension levels. With regard to the support given by the two notations during maintenance activities the results demonstrate that the two notations give the same support, while in general UML class diagrams provide a better support with respect to ER diagrams during verification activities.

Nelson, 1979 The Migration of the Indians to the New World. It is believed that the people who Columbus saw when he came to the New World were nomadic hunters from central and East Asia who followed the buffalo and deer. When the herds moved, people moved after them because they were dependent on the animals for food. It is therefore suspected that the herds led the people out of Asia by the north-east, across the Bering Strait and into North America. They crossed the sea by an ice –bridge when it was frozen over during the last Ice-Age. They did not know that they were crossing water from one continent to another. Map 1 Amerindians migration from central Asia into North America. The Amerindians settled throughout North America and were the ancestors of the many Red Indian tribes we know today, as well as the Eskimos in the far north. In general, they were nomadic but some followed settled agricultural pursuits and developed civilizations of their own like the Mayas in South America (check internet reference for profile on this group, focus on...
