...Barriers to Critical Thinking One barrier to critical thinking is self-serving biases. Our actions do not need to be rationalized if the motives are good. But, even good motives can lead us into other thinking mentalities that can lead us to undesirable consequences and even pose a threat to our self-esteem. The characteristics of others even post a threat to our self-esteem. These ego threatening situations can cause us to form cognitive biases called self-serving biases. These biases reside in our thinking and perception, which help protect and enhance our self-esteem. Unfortunately, people lean towards seeing what they want to see and what they need to see to keep good positive feelings for themselves as people (Kirby, G. & Goodpaster, J., 2007). Another barrier to critical thinking is emotional influences. There are many aspects of emotional influences such as depression, anger and passion. Many studies of depression aid to the idea that irrational cognitions are correlated with depression. If an individual lets depression take over, the effect can alter their expectations and even cause a negative mentality to occur. Also, anger tends to alter emotional influences. Anger causes many negative relationships with others. It can show many irrational behaviors and thoughts. If anger leads to this we must lessen the impact it can cause. Having passion will aid if it is a positive impact of feeling. If the source of our passion is positive, then we...

...Functions of Management Name MGT/330 Date Professor Functions of Management The four functions of management are planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. The effective use of all functions is required for any company to be successful and achieve organizational goals. These functions are vital for all managers to be an expert in because no area will be overlooked, and the company will have a solid foundation. Planning Planning involves identifying goals that need to be achieved and implementing a plan to accomplish the goals. The act of planning is setting the direction of where the company wants to be and organize a plan for all departments to follow. “Planning activities include analyzing current situations, anticipating the future, determining objectives, and determining the resources the resources needed to achieve the organization’s goals” (Bateman & Snell, 2009, Chapter 1). Executives normally create the business plans and have middle-level and frontline managers put the plans in place, while communicating the plans down the hierarchy. Effective planning lays the groundwork for success. Multiplan’s CEO, Mark Tabak is responsible for the planning activities at my organization. Mark has set plans in place that has resulted in two recent acquisitions over the past six years.

...Management & Leadership University of Phoenix Management: Theory, Practice and Application MGT/330 Management and leadership are two philosophies that go hand in hand when creating and maintaining a healthy environment; although, these two words describe two very different concepts. In essence, leadership is another aspect of management. Leadership and management are two accepted wisdoms that are often used interchangeably; however, leaders lead the employees, while managers rule. Employees know that they have to obey to the manager because it would cause negative consequences if they do not follow the orders. Included in this paper will be an assessment that compares and contrasts the differences and similarities of management and leadership, examines the roles and responsibilities that organizational managers and leaders play in creating and maintaining a healthy organizational culture, and suggests two different approaches on how to create and maintain a healthy organizational culture. The term leader can be assigned to anyone. This designation is often given to a person that is either proficient at their job or persuasive in their communications with colleagues but sometimes both. Leadership is a significant characteristic that a manager should, but may not always possess. The goal of a manager is to maximize the productivity of their department for the benefit of the organization. Managers can accomplish this...

...Recognized Courses in Accounting/Tax Research and Analysis and Accounting/Business Communications September 3, 2014 The Texas State Board of Public Accountancy requires each candidate to complete a minimum of two semester hours in accounting research and analysis or tax research and analysis from a recognized college or university. The semester hours may be obtained through a discrete course or offered through an integrated approach. If the course content is offered through integration, the college or university must advise the Board which course(s) contain the research and analysis content. Courses identified through integration must dedicate 1 semester hour, or quarter hour equivalent, to research and analysis. Courses used to meet this requirement may not be used to meet the requirement for accounting or business communications described below. Course(s) identified by a university to meet the requirements for research and analysis in accounting or taxation should primarily address the identification, organization, and integration of diverse sources of information such as authoritative literature and pronouncements, to reach a conclusion or make a decision; and should analyze accounting and taxation issues by reviewing information, using empirical data and analytical methods, recognizing data in patterned activities, forecasting, and integrating data.

...ork2012 - 2013 Catalog A Message from the President “Sullivan University is truly a unique and student success focused institution.” I have shared that statement with numerous groups and it simply summarizes my basic philosophy of what Sullivan is all about. When I say that Sullivan is “student success focused,” I feel as President that I owe a definition of this statement to all who are considering Sullivan University. First, Sullivan is unique among institutions of higher education with its innovative, career-first curriculum. You can earn a career diploma or certificate in a year or less and then accept employment while still being able to complete your associate, bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree by attending during the day, evenings, weekends, or online. Business and industry do not expand or hire new employees only in May or June each year. Yet most institutions of higher education operate on a nine-month school year with almost everyone graduating in May. We remained focused on your success and education, and continue to offer our students the opportunity to begin classes or to graduate four times a year with our flexible, year-round full-time schedule of classes. If you really want to attend a school where your needs (your real needs) come first, consider Sullivan University. I believe we can help you exceed your expectations. Since words cannot fully describe the atmosphere at Sullivan University, please accept my personal invitation to visit and experience...

However, it is called Show Business for a reason, and that is because it is the Business of Show. Any successful business must have a well organized management system in place, and even though it may seem different at first glance there are many standard management practices utilized in Show Business just like any other. Management organization within a company in Show Business takes planning, organizing, staffing, leading, and controlling functions to provide a quality production and ensure audience satisfaction. Planning The company I work for is called ‘NETworks Presentations’, and they are a company that produces Broadway tours. NETworks required extensive planning to become one of the largest producers of Broadway tours in the United States. Planning is a systematic process in which managers make decisions about future activities and the key goals that the organization intends to pursue (Baack, Reilly, and Minnick 2014).
