...CSR: Change the approach, look at the bigger picture Mar 2, 2016 Mostly it is seen, the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practice, however big or small companies, are molded into a business oriented activity that try to do branding, attract more business and catalyze business results (profits). But companies should understand doing so would only deviate them from the very basic and simple purpose of the CSR – to give back to the society by being sensitive and caring enough not just in words but in literal sense. A company’s social activities should be in sync with its business values. And the business values should be of high ethical standards while delivering business. Once this is practiced, it would reflect in the quality of products you deliver, service you provide to your clients, dealings with your customers, and so on so forth. Thus, CSR should not be seen as burden or mandatory rule by government, but the activities should develop a sense of belongingness towards the society. Try to involve and align employees, partner companies, clients or customers in the CSR programs. You will notice a change in the attitude and perceptions. A sense of loyalty and respect will be developed by the employees, clients and customers towards the company. Loyalty and respect are automatically derived through genuine CSR activities, for which no expensive branding or promotion efforts are required. Remember people want to work with the organizations which they respect. So, what...

...Case Problem – The Philanthropic Team Builder March 29, 2015 Word Count: 502 words Question 1: What type of team building best describes these volunteering activities? The type of team building that best describes the volunteering activities at Molson Coors is the team building aimed at improving relations among team members and task oriented team building. Exactly! Improving relations team building is used to help team members get to know each other better, build trust in each other and develop ways to deal with conflict if it arises. The merger between Molson and Coors brought a lot of experienced executives together to work towards a common goal. However, they did not know each other very well, if at all. That’s why the executives decided to use volunteering as a team building exercise so they could speed up team cohesion and get to know each other better. After the organization implemented volunteering as a company-wide team building exercise, the focus became task oriented team building. This form of team building helped increase the team’s motivation to accomplish organizational goals by developing a positive self-concept of the team and organization. Volunteering team building also helps teams focus on performing task that are related to organizational goals because they learn to rely on each other and to work together to accomplish these goals. Good – these events require coordination & communication, which helps to improve relations among the team members...

...what was done during our class session. It involved us participating in various activities that would require us to rely on the knowledge and expertise of the other members of the group that we were randomly assigned to. This training session however would be different because of the various cultures, backgrounds, and personalities represented. | The first team training exercise was a game called charades. It required us to learn how to converse with others without the use of words or sounds. We had to compete against the other team, and whoever guessed the most words correctly won the game. This particular exercise teaches the value of clear communication between team members and aids in building relationships. Trusting our ability to read body language was the next challenge and it was the most difficult. We would not only have to guess which person of the opposite team held a coin in their hand but which hand specifically. During this game, we did not trust in one of our members’ judgments and as a team, we should consider everyone’s opinion within the group. If one person has the ability to read body language, we should follow the advice of that team member since they have used their expertise to guess correctly. This is where trust is developed within the group members and is displayed in the support of the final decision. The last challenge took us uphill. During this activity, we had to strategize a way of allowing our team members to fit into a circle that...

...helps with staying organized, eliminating idle time and allows for planning ahead. The creation and use of a schedule reduces the stress about what task an individual must do next. By having time designated for certain activities, a schedule helps prevent forgetting tasks as well as rushing through other tasks. A schedule helps allot time for school work and business activities and leaves an individual in charge of what they want to do and when they want to do it. As a student, one should be reasonable about business growth by prioritizing and designating only a few hours a week for business activities. It is practical to begin by establishing a small scaled business while in school, with the intention of expanding later when more time is available. Ways to Create a Schedule There are a number of different ways a schedule can be created and many tools that make it a simple task. Many online websites can generate a schedule once input is entered such as Google Calendars which can instantly create a schedule that manages your time. If you are an owner of a Smartphone, applications, such as Tungle Me and Smart Time, can also be useful.

...Never Enough Time A day consists of 24 hours. Somehow this is never sufficient amount of time to complete all task or activities needed to be done in a person’s life. Some of these task and activities include work, school, personal lives, and just everyday life duties. It is these activities that can lead a person to stress and anxiety because not everything can be accomplished in a daily basis. Time management can be the answer to help complete daily activities and eliminate stress brought on by this. Time management is a discipline that sometimes accompanied by many failures. When taken seriously, the rewards will be found and worth the effort (Repak). Time consist of taking care of a family by a single parent or parents, maintaining a home, working a full-time job, and attending college to maintain a degree. Within trying to take care of these tasks, there are still smaller task that must be done. However, besides attending to these particular matters, a person must also find time relax and get sleep. To resolve the problem of finding time to do all the activities that are required to be completed daily, a person must have good time management skills. The struggle of time management is not simply a case of cutting back or acquiring new skills because the exhaustion and fatigue that a person feels has a connection on so many areas of life – our relationships, disposition, availability, etc (Repak). Time management skills can help aid in keeping a person on schedule...

...Week 5 Review Questions March 2, 2013 1. The project manager’s primary attention must be on activities that are on the project’s critical path because if there is any delay at all, it would cause the project to be delivered late. 2. For any activities on the critical path, there is zero amount of slack. For activities not on the critical path, the slack is calculated by subtracting the ES (earliest start) from the LS (latest start) or by subtracting the EF (earliest finish) from the LF (latest finish). 3. To determine the ES for a item with 2 predecessors, the project manager should look at each predecessor to see if either one of them or both of them are on the critical path. The ES is the later of the 2 predecessor’s LF. The LF for an activity with 2 successors is determined by looking at each successor’s LS and determining which one has an earlier LS. 4. All the activities on the project’s non-critical path will not have the same slack because each of them can have different predecessors and different successors and different timeframes. 5. A. 4 B. 2 & 3 C. 5 6. Dummy tasks are used in situations where 2 activities have the same starting and ending nodes to make sure to be able to distinguish between the activities and not have the 2 activities be considered the same activity. 7. Because task d is only 6 days and task c is over double than task d so we can safely assume that a merge problem won’t occur because in all likelihood, task d...
