...I AM A MAN OF VISION by Salome F Baria I am a man of vision. I dream to pursue every single strand of my aspirations. I desire to live in an atmosphere where I could enjoy my rights and privileges as a youngster, and liberty to do what I know is best for me and my generation. Thus, I have a mission. Mission to preserve my present world wherein I could satisfy my hunger and thirst for real freedom. My province Apayao is my world…my cherished place. Young ever as it is yet power packed with countless bounties. Patiently waiting for the perfect moment to be made known. Here I am! I stand and advance with much vigor and vigilance. I shall conquer the dynamo concealed within each corner of this region…for its own glory and for my advantage. Everything is perfectly beautiful in this place. The resources endowed by God. Vast mountain ranges and plains monopolized by income-generating privileges and reigned by exotic creatures. Matched by crystal clear streams and rivers inhabited by fellow living things. Oh how can I preclude myself from adoring this place? Nothing is to be compared absolutely. For from dawn to twilight, its radiance shall never fail. The culture of this place is a priceless treasure. It transcends through towns and villages and it is a unifying factor among all ages: be it young or old, fortunate and the less. Culture reflects the past, uniquely empowers the present, and foretells what life looks life ahead. It is indeed more than the tadek, baag, and...

...Assessment Task: Critically assess management practices and the impact of culture upon them, including work, motivation, entrepreneurship, leadership and team-working. Impact of culture on work Management practices are task oriented and relationship oriented. Task oriented relationship is that in which the head fixates on the tasks which need to be accomplished in order to meet several goals or to complete a certain work standard. On the other hand, relationship oriented is a behavior dependent which could be the satisfaction focused by the leader as well as ordinary health of the team members. To illustrate this , Australian are task oriented in that they want to get a job done while Indians are more relationship focused; more interested in the way they work with other colleagues. Moreover in a task focused relationship there would be high turnover, whereas in the relationship focused the leader is trust worthy. Impact of culture on Motivation Motivation is a state arising in processes that are internal and external to the individual, in which the person perceives that it is appropriate to pursue a certain course of action directed at achieving a specified outcome (Rollinson ,2005, pp.189). Motivation depends on the relationship and cultural factors in which performance plays an important role. In task focused relationship progress and productivity of the individual is measured. On the other hand, in relationship oriented motivation, comfort and feelings...

...V-236 2/12/14 Case 1 Zappos has 10 different commandments that they abide by on the everyday basis. There are two commandments that stand out in my opinion that would influence the way employees do their work. Be adventures, creative and open minded. Giving the employees the ability to take risk when doing their normal day task. For example, the call center workers are promoted to try new things to make the customers feel delighted and appreciated. Where as some jobs that offer a call center have their employees on a scripted dialogue, almost making them sound like robots. I think Zappos has faith in there employment by giving the employees an encouragement to make misstates because they are only going to learn from them. The second commandment that stood out to me was, create fun and a little weirdness in the work environment. I believe that this brings the workers closer together, because it actually shows peoples personality. In most work environments you always have to dress business professional and act accordingly. Zappos is bringing the aspect of being yourself in the work place. So if that means dressing in pajamas and having blue hair, that’s accepted at Zappos. They don’t mind people having fun while being the best at what they do. This type of commandment shows how confident this company is, because the results always show their success. Tony Hsieh said, “ I think it really boils down to our focus on a company culture” meaning your culture...

...Extenuating Circumstances – Student Guidance Frequently Asked Questions Q What are extenuating circumstances? A Extenuating Circumstances are circumstances which • impair your examination performance in assessment or reassessment, or • prevent you from attending for assessment or reassessment, or • prevent you from submitting assessed or reassessed work by the scheduled date Such circumstances rarely occur and would normally be • unforeseeable - in that you could have no prior knowledge of the event concerned, and • unpreventable - in that you could do nothing reasonably in your power to prevent such an event, and • expected to have a serious impact on performance You are expected to make reasonable plans to take into account commonly occurring circumstances (such as transport or computer problems), even those which, on occasion, may have been unforeseeable and unpreventable. (Note: Ongoing extended circumstances are not covered by extenuation procedures. Ongoing medical conditions may be covered by disability procedures) Q What is meant by a serious impact on performance? A Many things may have an impact on our performance – a poor night’s sleep, a minor illness (such as a cough or cold), a minor injury, and financial worries and so on.

...According to Wikipedia, culture shock is a feeling of disorientation when experiencing an unfamiliar way of life due to immigration or a visit to a new country. Personally, when I first came to States, the primary problem that I have is the language barrier even though I have learnt American English for years at my homeland. What came along with this discomfort of communication are homesickness, information overload and boredom. These are the most sympathetic signs of my disorientation from own experiences. Fortunately, as Internet has become a cheap technology that make the globe into a small village and meanwhile everything has been easily accessible through online, I feel much more relaxed and adaptable when facing this culture obstacle. The way we browse the news, watch videos and shop online are exactly the same everywhere in the world, and this has brought me a lot of benefits of orienting myself into the American culture. Despite the technology has given me lots of convenience, there are still many differences in various respects including education, transportation, having food and shopping in terms of cultural distinction. Before coming to USA, my schedule was basically aligned with my job, five days at work and two days off. I preferred to shop online on Friday so that I can receive my purchases on Saturday morning or noon. In the weekends, I spent most of my time on my hobbies, I like catching up with my friends in a big shopping mall and going out of town...

...factors and the consequences are independent of any socio-geographical variables. A crisis is a crucial or decisive point or situation; an unstable condition as in political, social or economic affairs involving an impending abrupt or decisive change; a sudden change in the cause of a disease or fever toward either improvement or deterioration; an emotionally stressful event or traumatic change in a person’s life; a point in a story or drama when a conflict reaches its highest tension and must be resolved. Crises generally are about victims, perceived victims or people who are affected by what happened. When we are not sufficiently educated or informed about the new trends and best practices in Crisisology, there is predisposition that: 1. Faced with a crisis, we feel frightened, confused, angry and helpless; 2. Judgment may be affected, sometimes creating a tendency to consider ideas that would normally be dismissed; 3. Individual’s personality trait becomes exaggerated (for example, an anxious person becomes very anxious); 4. A siege mentality sets in with those in charge withdrawing, doing nothing, saying nothing and becoming inert; 5. The search begins for a scapegoat; 6. Instability sets in and decision makers may not adopt the latest opinions they have heard; and 7. Government or management turns defensive, declaring in reflex “everything is under control”. 8. A crisis presents real or potential negative outcomes for victims. A victim is anyone who...

...by: Dr Ibraheem Dooba Publisher: Society for Safety & Crisis Management ISBN: 978-978-935-256-2 Description: Everyone can write a book but certainly not a monograph. It’s very likely to see academics with many book titles in their names without a single monograph in a whole life time. A monograph is a specialist work of writing on a single subject or an aspect of a subject, usually by a single author with cogent, convincing and compelling facts and figures written mainly for an academic audience. This monograph is centered on Crisisology as an emerging academic discipline which presumably according to the author escaped the attention of earlier thinkers. In the light of current global crises and the quest for a formidable strategy of effective crisis detection, prevention and management, the author is championing the development of the academic discipline of Crisisology in the Universities, Polytechnics, Colleges of Education, Monotechnics and research institutions. He felt a new approach to crisis, conflict, emergency and disaster management is urgently needed to take us beyond a purely reactive response to that of creating fresh opportunities for improved tools, strategies and education through the study, teaching and practice of Crisisology. To underscore his resolve to lead this new intellectual campaign of pace-setting, Muhammad Sani Isa, the National President of the Society for Safety and Crisis Management, an Associate Editor of the Management Journal of...

...TECNOLÓGICO DE MONTERREY | THUNDERBIRD Production Operation Management TOYOTA: THE ACCELERATOR CRISIS Study Case Report | | 1. What were the drivers of Toyota´s accelerators crisis? Why was Toyota facing a recall crisis? The drivers of Toyota crisis were Strategic, structural and cultural issues. At the strategic level, the cost reduction strategy added with the increasing of the output volume strategy caused a decrease in quality. Furthermore, the structure of Toyota (HQs in Japan and not in the U.S) impacted Toyota’s response to customer’s claims, taking a long time to address Toyota consumer’s concerns, and in fact was one of the most criticized issues during the crisis. In other words, the company took a considerable time before recalling units that meant life losses and significant economic impacts. At the cultural managerial level, there were difficulties driven by how Japanese address the situation vs. how Americans deal with the problems. The company lost its original philosophy due to different cultural orientations between Japanese headquarters and North American subsidiaries. The fact that Toyota was recovering from its last unit’s recall (due to motors leaking oil) plus the beginning of the global financial crisis, ended up yielding a deviation of the original long term plan to look after the U.S subsidiary´s financial performance, triggering a swap in the three main pillars of Toyota (Safety, Quality and Volume). 2.

...Discussion questions 1. Pick a recent news article that focuses on some international or global problem, and give examples of how and where states, markets, and societies interact and at times conflict with one another. How hard is it to determine the analytical boundaries between the state, market, and society in this case? ONU se reúne tras supuesto uso de armas químicas Los estados interactúan ya que son los encargados de mantener la seguridad de cada país, por eso acuden a las organizaciones que se ocupan de este tipo de asuntos. Los mercados pueden verse afectados por las consecuencias de este tipo de ataques y estos dos se implica la sociedad ya que es la afectada de lo que resulte esta situación. Es fácil distinguir los límites de cada parte en este tema ya que el que tiene la mayor responsabilidad es el estado. 2. Review the basic elements and features of the IPE approach: the three main theoretical perspectives, the four structures, the levels of analysis, and the types of power. Which ones do you feel you understand well and which ones need more work? Los niveles Individual y el de los estados son los más fáciles de comprender ya que se pueden estudiar sin tanto conflicto, pero el sistema internacional: el conflicto internacional a veces es causado por la naturaleza conflictiva del hombre. 3.

...| Topic-; Identify any crisis, which occurred recently in industry/organization critically analyze the ways by which it was resolved. What is management crisis?Crises can strike any company at any time. Microsoft, ValuJet, Chrysler, Pepsi and the tobacco industry are some of the most recent companies that can attest to this fact, but they are not the only ones. Crises do not discriminate based on a company’s size or notoriety, and they can hit when a company least expects them. They come in many forms – strikes, layoffs, product recalls or allegations of misconduct, but while some of these may seem small, every crisis has the potential to damage the reputation of a company. Regardless of the severity of the situation, crises pose a serious threat to companies – not only to their reputation but their fiscal health as well. When Odwalla’s apple juice was thought to be the cause of an outbreak of E. coli bacteria, the company lost a third of its market value. The same allegation against Jack in the Box restaurant in 1993 caused the hamburger chain’s stock price to fall from $14 a share to nearly $3 a share. On the other hand, some companies emerge from crises unscathed in the eyes of consumers and investors. Johnson and Johnson is one such company. After it was discovered that its Tylenol capsules had been laced with cyanide, Johnson and Johnson reacted in such an effective way that the case is now well-documented as an example of successful crisis management.
