...1 * With change going on all around us at an ever increasing pace, organizations need managers who can successfully implement organizational change and manage the stress associated with organizational change. Chapter 18, our final chapter in this course, talk about both topics. I will talk about Stress. 2 * Stress is defined as a behavioral, physical, or psychological response to stressors; and stressors are environmental factors that produce stress. Many researchers have studied the impact of stress on individual and organizational health. Hans Selye noted that stress can be caused by both positive and negative events in one’s life and both types of events can have the same physical and psychological impact. For example, having a new baby, starting a new job, or buying a new house are positive events but can significantly increase one’s stress at the same levels as the loss of a loved one, difficulties at work, or financial problems. The stress that is good or produces a positive outcome is referred to as eustress. 3 The four major types of stressors are •Individual, those directly associated with job duties, such as role ambiguity or overload, eye strain from computers, or freezing from being a snow plow operator in sub-zero temperatures. •Group, which are caused by group dynamics or managerial behavior. •Organizational, which are caused by factors associated with, for example, the organizational culture; and •Extra-organizational, those factors outside...

...CHAPTER 18 REPORTS ON AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Answers to Review Questions 18-1 An auditor is associated with financial statements when he or she has consented to the use of his or her name in a document such as an annual report. 18-2 Accounting changes can be categorized into changes that affect consistency and those that do not affect consistency. The word “consistency” refers to the application of accounting principles. If a change in accounting principle or in the method of its application has a material effect on the comparability and consistency of the financial statements and the auditor concurs with the change, the auditor should refer to the change in an explanatory or emphasis-of-matter paragraph. Accounting changes that affect comparability but do not affect consistency, such as a change in an estimate or the correction of an error that does not involve a change in accounting principle, are normally disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements but do not require an explanatory or emphasis-of-matter paragraph in the auditor's report. An accounting change can affect comparability but not consistency because an accounting principle can be consistently applied even when the underlying data used to apply it may change. For example, when the estimate of the useful life of a building changes, the company may still consistently apply straight-line depreciation, but the depreciation expense will not be comparable to that of the previous year due to the...

...Chapter 18: Ford 1. In terms of its competitive position, I would put Ford in the top five. While they are looking at their competitors and checking to see what moves they take in order to create a strategy to counter their efforts, they still have some way to go. They have come a long way from where they were in 2008, but I do not believe that they are quite back at the number one spot just yet. 2. I believe that Ford is a market-centered company. They can improve in this area by making sure that they are not only looking at new developments for their cars, to beat out their competitors, and by not losing focus on what the customers really want. Just as Ford lost sight of their customer’s need for small vehicles, not just truck and SUVs, they need to keep watch so that they do not make the same mistake twice. 3. Ford’s Sync contributes to its competitive advantage because it has made improvements to other technologies that are being used by their competitors. They incorporate Bluetooth, music, navigation, GPS, and voice command all into one device. Many other car companies, such as GM, have OnStar, which is very convenient but does not meet all of the needs that Sync does. Therefore, Ford’s development of Sync is giving them a great competitive advantage against their competitors. 4. I am not sure if Mulally will be able to succeed in the small world car business. I find that, if by doing so, they will be trying to please too many markets at once. They are great at making...

...Worksheet for Summaries of Chapters 1) What are the themes of the chapter? How do the themes relate to management? Explain in a few sentences. Chapter 18 deals with the small, the large and the growing business, which Drucker breaks down into four stages of business size (small, fair-sized, large, very large business). He discusses the problems and potential solutions for each. The chapter’s title pretty much says what the chapter is about. The themes relate to management because they provide a sense of the different types of size of management. A key question they ask towards the middle of the chapter is when a company begins to get to large “How close are we to unmanageability? That question is key for companies that are involved with oil and such. Another key theme in this chapter was the smallness of a business. Drucker explains the problems that a small business might have during this chapter. During this part of the chapter he mentions that if the business is too small it might not be able to support the management they need. Financially sometimes it may not be able to pay what a first rate man can get in a larger company. Sometimes the smaller company does not offer a challenge to managers like the large businesses. A lot of small businesses are also family owned. The problem with this is that family members who get in the company might not like it and quit or they just do enough in the company to get by. I can relate to this in a way because my uncle owns a...

...1. What is the function of the /etc/hosts file? Which services can you use in place of or to supplement the hosts file? This file holds the hostname and IP address of the local system. It also holds a special entry for localhost. This entry supports the loopback service, which allows the local system to talk to itself. The IP address of the loopback serviceis always 127.0.0.1, while 127.0.1.1 names the local system. 2. What does the /etc/resolv.conf file do? What do the nameserver lines in this file do? The /etc/resolv.conf file is the resolver configuration file. It provides access to DNS for Internet address resolution. The nameserver line indicates which systems the local system should query to resolve hostnames into IP addresses and vice versa. 3. What is an inode? What happens to the inode when you move a file within a filesystem? An inode is a data structure, stored on disk, that defines a file’s existence and is identified by an inode number. An inode contains critical information about a file, such as the UID of the owner, where it is physically located on the disk, and how many hard links point to it. In addition, SELinux stores extended information about files in inodes. An inode that describes a directory file maps each of the filenames in the directory to the inode that describes that file. This setup allows an inode to be associated with more than one filename and to be pointed to from more than one directory. 4. What does the .. entry...

...Write about the ways Hossieni tells the story in Chapter 18 of The Kite Runner. In chapter 18 of The Kite Runner, Hosseini continues to use a first person narrative, however the manipulation of past participles allows him to write from the perspective of Baba and Ali on occasion. The effect of this is haunting as the narration symbolises ghosts from the past, which is a dominant theme in the Kite Runner, and creates a reading experience which emulates suffocation. The chapter is told via analepsis, this is a key linguistic mechanism in deconstructing the psyche of Amir. By Chapter 18 he is truly a broken man; he is an orphan, infertile, betrayed his best-friend, and the man he considers a father is dying. In chapter 18 these psychological attributes culminate and form an Amir who reflects the setting in which he is narrating this chapter, Pakistan. Pakistan is an in-between place in Amir's journey, reflecting Amir who is on the cusp of realising his true potential - through the intertwining of setting (Pakistan) and character (Amir), Hosseini foreshadows an ending where Amir will achieve repentance and is entirely happy. On the other hand, the broken tone in which the chapter is written emulates that of a suicide note, the conjuring of past images and "gods greatest sin" suggests Amir is contemplating suicide at this point as he has "let down everyone I love", thus subverting the foreshadowed ending of repentance through the reflective symbolic imagery of character and setting...
