...Change Management: HP, IBM, Kodak and McDonald’s Suki HRM 560 20 Jul 2015 Dr. Beck . Introduction No matter what company it is there will always be change. Change can be good and change can be bad, but change is always going to be. An example of good change, I went into Starbucks this morning (a new one not too long built close to my home it used to be a Checkers). When I would frequent the Starbucks I would go thru the drive thru. This morning I went inside and talk about “Change.” Anyone would not believe that place was once a Checker’s restaurant. This is called ‘good’ change it is so beautiful and inviting inside. I say this to say, change is inevitable no matter how we look at it. Although there is organizational change, not always does the change we hope for work for everyone or no one at all. Stories of Organizational Change: In the book Leading Change (Kotter 2012) he indicates in his model the importance of communication and how without it what can and will go wrong. Different interests need to be recognized and addressed during an organizational change. Change need appropriately placed champions to gain support throughout the organization. Change involves risk and uncertainty and change in and of itself is not necessarily good for a company; careful assessment is needed of the relevance and likely success of a proposed change. (Palmer, Dunford & Akin, 2009) Starting with Hewlett Packard former CEO Carly Fiorina made a huge mistake is when...

...Birmingport/Oak Grove area. I spent most of my sensorimotor stage and preoperational stage there. I was a very good baby is what my family have always told me. I was talking and walking pretty early. I got my first four-wheeler at the age of 3 years old. I would always watch my dad and how he rode his motorcycle; and so that’s how I wanted to ride my four-wheeler. This area is when I would do what others would do, so that would be the generalized other of my life. I lived in the same home during my concrete operational stage and formal operational stage. During the concrete operational and formal stage, I played softball and raced four-wheelers and go-carts. On special occasions I would get to race at the mud races; which thinking back I miss so much. My family means a lot to me. They always tried to keep me going in the right direction. When falling off the track they were there to provide me with advice and guidance. Through going the right path and getting off the tracks I was able to understand the right from wrong and good from bad. They have always guided me through norms that help me have appropriate behavior. My family taught me folkways- that manners are very important. There are a lot of important mores that need to be followed. Cultural relativism comes from family and how they live. We were a crazy family, always something going on. My family was kind of split. Some believe in things and others believed a different way...

The solution will definitely won’t shock you: (Foreign countries) Saudi Arabia. But the very close runner-up might: The (USA)United States of America creates more than 11.11 million barrels every day, which can be more than 95% of what other foreign countries like Saudi Arabia produces. If comparing Russia which is close behind the (USA)United States. The world's 2nd largest economically rich country china, is a distant fourth.

...company. A manager should always behave ethically to maintain good representation of themselves and the company. When a manager shows poor representation it devalues the company. Furthermore we as humans tend to be a product of our environment. General employees look to their management for direction. If a manager behaves unethical, their employees will most likely follow their lead. When this happens it causes the company to suffer. Company’s stakeholders have a reputation to protect, So stakeholders who may have managers who are behaving unethical may refuse to invest in their companies and this will decrease the stock prices, undermine the companies reputations, and ultimately put the manager’s job at risk. A manager with a bad reputation will have difficulty finding employment through other companies. Most of all managers acting unethical will reduce efficiency and effectiveness of production and trade. Thus reduces the company’s performance, followed by reducing national standard of living, well-being and prosperity. Managers and people in general should realize that acting unethical, not only affects them personally, but affects the lives of many other people as well. All in all there are many reasons that a manager should act ethically. Through researching the topic online I found a sight by the author Gerald Gillis, (Article source: Http://Ezinearticals.com/?expert=gerald-Gillis) here are a few reasons he listed that I thought to be good arguments. 1.

...1. introduction: “Good leaders are made, not born” (http://www.nwlink.com/~donclark/leader/leadcon.html). Nowadays, leaders play a key role in every organization; the future of the company totally depends on the style of its leader. So, what is “the leadership”? The definition of leadership basically is motivating a group of people to act towards achieving a common goal. To become a good leader, you must get through the never ending process of self-study, education, training and experience. I am a basketball coach and my responsibility is training players who love basketball and have sufficient ability to become a good player. I . In recently, we have been warned that we must change the way in training for the upcoming competitions that held for all teams in this area, which means we have to increase the training time, change the training strategies and the formations as well. That might cause us some problems. The reason is that we have been lose in some friendly-matches recently, and our managements want us to stand as the third at least, As the leader of my team, I am supposed to let them know clearly why we are changing, the importance of this change and make them willing to go towards the change. To do it well, I had set a good example for the rest to follow. 2. Myself as a leader in relation to my immediate work group Working in this environment made me become a directive and supportive leader; when I received the message from my seniors, I know that I am facing...

Why would you expect unemployment to fall during an economy’s expansionary phrase and to rise during a contractionary phrase? Discuss and make reference to the business cycle. b. Why does GDP measure only final goods and services produced rather than all goods and services produced? Explain 2. Why is the aggregate demand (AD) curve downward sloping? Discuss and use graphs where necessary? The Aggregate Demand (AD) curve is downward sloping because consumption, investment and net exports are affected by changes in the price level . Aggregate Demand (AD) is the sum of the demand for all goods and services in the economy. It can also be seen as the quantity of real GDP demanded at different price levels. (AD) = C + I + G + (X – M) C= total consumer expenditure on goods and service I= total investment spending by companies for capital goods such as factories, equipment and computers G= government expenditure for publicly provided Goods and service such as roads, bridges and Medicare. X= export M= import There are three reasons behind why the aggregate demand curve is negatively sloped, the interest rate effect, the wealth effect, and the open economy effect. The interest rate effect is the most important reason for the downward slope. It has...

...conclude as to why people seek therapy and what my role as a counselor is. This is an evaluation of my own life philosophies that will give me a better understanding of my own personal theory. Personality Freewill versus Determinism Life is full of opportunities, what someone will make of them is mainly up to their determinism. I believe that sixty percent of determinism makes up a person’s personality while the other forty percent is free will. It is my opinion that free will has to originate from someone’s genuine desire for change. I believe that many people lack free will because it takes a lot of will power from within; something that people struggle with.. This is why I believe that determinism plays a bigger role in a person’s personality because before a person can do things on their own, their environment and or biology are the determining factors. For example, my brother Matt’s struggles with making the right choices because he has always been exposed to an unhealthy environment and his personality is a reflection of all the chaos. While his environment has been what has influenced his choices up to this point I also believe that he is not mentally capable of making the right choices and genetics play a part in that....

...The new idea is to transport nonperishable goods together with the perishable good. Two coworkers emerge and are resistant to this venture. They are citing that AAA is not strong enough to compete and it is not a good idea. What are affecting the two coworkers are the mental models/mindsets. The management will work on changing the mental models/mindsets of the two and include them t in the new line of business. The idea is important to all the staffs and the new owners and when exploited it will make a difference in the company. Four steps to changing mental models/mindsets There are four major steps that can be utilized to change the mental models/mindset at an individual who defies change. The first step is to comprehend the power and limits of mental models/mindset. [Crook 2006]. Change is always inevitable. Changing the mindset of a person is not an easy task; it needs time to bring the change. The person naturally recognizes the surrounding of the environment around him. In the scenario of Vernon and Bud, they don’t see the emerging ventures because of the comfort zone in the business. The firm may not have the mighty to compete with other companies at non-perishable goods transportation, but it’s a great opportunity that can reap big in profits. The second step for change is to test the mental model/mindset against the changing environment [crook, 2006]. This will enlighten people on how environmental changes could bring new chances. The opportunities...

...opinions, beliefs, perceptions, assumptions, values and truths. Mental models are often hidden and one is not aware of them or their effect on one’s behavior. When mental models are created they become reinforced in the mind and it becomes hard to change them (Von Stamm, 2008). Vernon and Bud have been in this company for more than twenty years, thus there mental models are deeply rooted and difficult to change. It is hard to convince both of them to change their mental models or adopt new ones. The mental models that these two coworkers have impacted greatly on how they behave in the company and the decisions they make. Vernon is afraid of the expansion and Bud is against competing with other organizations. Changing Mental Model/Mindsets In any organization, change is constant, hence the need to keep changing mental models of employees. It is hard to change mental models since they are not forces that one is aware of consciously, but subconsciously. Vernon and Bud are against the new change that has been introduced by the new owners of the company. However, from time to time people must be willing to change for the good of the business even if they have the fear of the unknown (Rowe, 2004). People can take certain steps to change their mental models so as to improve on the quality of their performance. The first step is about understanding the limits and the power of mental models.

...like the children’s stories, Cinderella, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty, but it isn’t always the case. In reality, some marriage life does last forever but some doesn’t. As for mine, it only lasted for a couple years till I finally draw the line and said, “No more of this miserable life.” As time goes on, I have been living in a more stable and happy life compared to the married life I have before. How and why did I do it? Basically, I did it by re-socializing to adapt and cope to the married life I have now. What do I mean by re-socializing? It means that I must learn from my past experiences and make a dramatic change in the area concerning my behaviors, attitudes, expectations, and values to improve my new life. Before I get into my behavior change, I want to give a brief discussion on the topic why people get divorced. There are many reasons why people get divorced, but I will list a few of the important ones. First reason has to do with the break-down in communication and disclosure. This occurs with when both party starts to limit the communication between them. When one stopped talking to the other, it showed a lost of interest to be with the other one. If this goes on, both parties will eventually have negative thoughts such as, he or she is cheating, he or she don’t love me no more, or he or she is up to something no good. These kinds of negative thoughts aren’t good in a marriage life. Another reason has to do with the physical appearance and attraction...

...Marshallian supply- demand synthesis of stable equilibrium T H A T with Marshall the price point o f view delimits the economic field, does not precisely Commit him to the demand-And-supply approach in price analysis. He is, however, .a and-supply economist. This, to be sure, is not much to say. All economists are so, no matter what they may accept, or purport to accept, as the principle, or the problem, or the group of problems, defining the economic field. Always and everywhere with all economists, price is the point of equilibrium or adjustment OJi equilibration between demand and supply. It is, then, safe as far as it goes-but always in the sense of the commonplace or the obvious-to announce that price is determined by demand and supply. It is merely an oracular way of asserting an undisputed thing. Knowing not even so much as the question One may always refer the solution to demand and supply. Never is the argument thereby advanced excepting, perhaps, in the sense of a formal indication of a desirable or necessary line of procedure. No. Influence that does not report itself in demand or in supply terms, or in both, is relevant to price determination. The demand- and-supply expression is merely a formula of the signboard sort pointing to the terms to which all economic analyses must finally get reduced. Difficulties appear only with the attempt to trace out the various influences that finally report themselves in demand and in supply terms-to render an account of these...

It is always delicate and precise in his statements, regardless of whom it says whether subordinates or partners, or just his family. The reason that the leaders always keep their promises, is the good work of his mind, because he does not accept their decisions and not give promises rashly, he always consider and weigh all the "pros" and "cons" before saying. They always make their decisions based on their abilities. - Loyalty. It is always important when dealing with partners, because without it you can not achieve good performance.
