...scientific management, are generally considered as rather old fashion and out of date, and of little relevance to work and organization today. Is this really the case? The classical theory is the earliest form of management that perceived that a set of universal principles would apply to all the organizations in all situations to achieve efficiency and organization's goals. Scientific management and bureaucratic theory were one of the several components of the classical school of organization. Important pioneers among them are Frederick Taylor and Max Weber. The classical theories have been contested of little relevance to work and organization today simply because today’s organizations have moved from industrial revolution to the information age due to the fast-paced change in technology (Toffler, 1984). Although bureaucracy has been synonymous to red tape and has negatives effects such as “rigidity, alienation and low commitment” (Adler, 1999, p.37) and dehumanizing people (Grey, 2009), the characteristics of bureaucracy such as specialization, hierarchy of authority, system of rules and impersonality (Stewart, 1986) as well as evidence of ongoing existence of this management method, bureaucracy is proved to remain noteworthy. This essay will examine the situation presented in organization today, and determine whether bureaucracy and scientific management can be considered as old fashioned, out of date and of little relevance to work and organization today. With the broad...

...Author Tutor Course Date Change in Milk Bacteria and Effect in Teenage Girls Milk has been known to be important in the growth of human beings as well as other suckling mammals. This fact that cuts every corner of the globe may make it hard for one to comprehend that milk also has disease causing bacteria. Scientists however, have proven beyond any reasonable doubt that indeed such bacteria exist in milk. The list of these bacteria is endless and the diseases caused by them have had extensive effects on human body functioning. Change in milk bacteria has been found to affect the prevalence of a number of diseases. To counter this, pasteurization of milk was discovered to kill a huge number of diseases causing bacterium. However, pasteurization does not kill every bacterium (Gupta 52). Milk products such as cheese, yoghurt and butter carry the potential of having some bacterium in them. Their consumption in large numbers is relative to an increasing risk of affection. For instance, increased intake milk products correlate with but do not necessarily cause adolescent acne. At this point, it is good to note that milk has two layers one that contains fat and one that does not. The fatty layer has hormones such as progesterone and androgens that stimulate acne. Acne leads to hormonal imbalances and thus abnormal experiences in regard to menstruation (Fox 45). The number of diseases caused by bacteria is large but this paper intends to focus on female genital tuberculosis...

...25-6 After the date of an entity's financial statements but before those financial statements are issued or are available to be issued (as discussed in Section 855-10-25), information may become available indicating that an asset was impaired or a liability was incurred after the date of the financial statements or that there is at least a reasonable possibility that an asset was impaired or a liability was incurred after that date. The information may relate to a loss contingency that existed at the date of the financial statements, for example, an asset that was not insured at the date of the financial statements. On the other hand, the information may relate to a loss contingency that did not exist at the date of the financial statements, for example, threat of expropriation of assets after the date of the financial statements or the filing for bankruptcy by an entity whose debt was guaranteed after the date of the financial statements. In none of the cases cited in this paragraph was an asset impaired or a liability incurred at the date of the financial statements, and the condition for accrual in paragraph 450-20-25-2(a) is, therefore, not met.

...Victim Advocacy Anthony D. Rios AIU Online Abstract Date rape is a serious offense and should be not taken lightly. The National Crime Victimization Survey and the Uniform Crime Reporting provides statistics on this offense. There are also strengths and weaknesses in both tools, but they are both valuable tools. To understand date rape, it is important to know the definition, and how date rape is distinguished between stranger rape, statutory rape, and spousal rape. It’s also important to understand the drugs that are used for date rape and how they are used. The relationship between the offender and the victim can also provide a better understanding of date rape. Finally I will provide my position on this issue and how I could impact this social policy. Victim Advocacy * Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) and National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) reports crime statistics relating to rape and the strengths and weaknesses of each reporting. * Uniform Crime Reporting – This tool was established in 1929 by the International Association of Chiefs of Police so that the nation could have some reliable statistics to find where crimes where at the most. (Uniform Crime Reports) UCR is not only a tool that reports on rape, but it also reports on other crimes. The UCR is also used to provide statistics to all law enforcement agencies in the nation. (Doerner and Lab, pg 22) * Strengths with UCR– It provides a number of crimes of the whole nation...

...and bars, some to parties to mingle, others out to a nice restaurant to meet their lovely date. However, no matter where the date takes place, there will be the same three types of first dates taking place: the drinking date, the activity date, and the stay-at-home date. The drinking date, usually the more common type of date, takes place at a club or a local bar. When most people go on a drinking date they usually do not want a relationship, but are rather looking for a companion for the night. In a drinking date the dater uses alcohol as an ice breaker or conversation starter. This type of date is a little more romantic than coffee, but less of a commitment than dinner. With the date halfway over the male dater begins to get a little nervous because he does not know how the night will end. So after the drinking date he walks or drives his date home and when at her house, continues to ask, “May I come in?” Some women may feel just a slight bit uncomfortable letting in her date, other allow them to come in finishing off their night with a little night cap. However, sometimes the drinking date does not go as planned and the dater ends up leaving the club or bar lonely and fairly drunk. The activity date, typically a little less common type of date than that of the drinking date, is a date for the ones who want to get to actually know the other person a little better. An activity date...

...quarter XYZ Company calculates its financial performance for the quarter. The board of directors then reviews this information, including XYZ Company's profit margin, and declares a $0.10 dividend per share for the quarter. This means that you are entitled to $0.10 x 100 shares = $10. There are several important dates to note when a firm's board of directors declares a dividend. These include: • 1 Declaration Date: This is the date on which a company's board of directors declares that a dividend will be paid. The board determines the amount of the dividend, as well as when it is to be paid to shareholders of record. • 3 Record Date: This is the date on which a company reviews its books to determine its shareholders of record. Shareholders who hold a particular stock on this date will receive the firm's dividend payment. • 2 Ex-Dividend Date: After the Record Date has been determined, the stock exchanges or the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) assign the ex-dividend date. The ex-dividend date for stocks is typically two business days prior to the record date. If an investor buys a stock before the ex-dividend date, then he or she will receive the dividend payment. If an investor purchases the stock on or after the ex-dividend date, then he or she is not entitled to receive the dividend. 4 dividend payable date is the date on which a company pays a dividend to its shareholders of record.

...construction phase of the program. What is the completion date if construction starts in March? What is the completion date of the project if construction is started in November? If the project is started on March 1st, 2012, the finish date is July 30th, 2013. For the November start date, the case does not mention exactly what date the project should start but rather mentions that it should start after the elections. We do not have the election date so I will assume a start date of November 14th, 2011, which is a Monday. In this case, the end date of the project would be April 11th, 2013. However, the case states that if the project starts in November, bad weather could affect the outside operations, adding as much as 2 months to the duration. If we add 2 months to phase 1, the entire project is delayed 2 months. However, if the delay only occurs in phase 2, than the end date of the project would not be affected since no tasks have phase 2 as a predecessor. This is quite unlikely since it would impossible, in real life, to proceed to phases 3 and 4 (Enclosures and Interiors) without first completing or at least having a certain percentage completed of phase 2 (Structure). For this reason, I choose to add 2 months in phase 1 and therefore have a new end date of July 4th, 2013. Please note that I have also considered that the 2 months delay include the Christmas and New Year holidays. Gantt charts of both start dates (including the 2 months delay) are presented in Annex...

...Date Rape and Sexual Aggression in Dating Situations This study was conducted to access the risk factors for date rape in male against female sexual aggressions in dating situations. The risk factors were established by several different things which included how often one dated and how often she was uncomfortable during the date or how often sexual aggression took place during a date. Linton and Muehlenhard compare the dates of people who had come into contact with sexual aggression versus those who have not come into contact with sexual aggression while on a date. They also compared “attitudes of people who had versus people who had not been involved in sexual aggression.” The study that Linton and Muehlenhard conducted shows that over half of the people who participated in the questionnaires had infact been involved with some form of sexual aggression. The study also showed that less than 10% had been involved with unwanted sexual acts while on a date. The authors state that “variables that appear to be risk factors are the man’s initiating the date, paying all the expenses, and driving; miscommunication about sex, heavy alcohol or drug use; “parking”; and men’s acceptance of the traditional sex roles. Often times in situations involving date rape, the amount of time in which the two have known each other don’t seem to play an important role in date rape or sexual aggression. The authors in this study were trying to show the importance of certain risk factors that...

...To Choose or Not to Choose When I read this topic, I knew right away this was going to be my essay subject. In the world of dating, I feel very strongly about whether you should choose your own dates. I have had the experience of allowing someone to arrange a date for me, which has only solidified my feelings on the matter. Although there are some advantages in going on an arranged date, I feel the disadvantages are far greater. So when asked “to choose or not to choose?” The answer is simple; I say “choose!” In the world of dating, what I consider the “pre-date” stage is that period of time when you decide to ask someone of interest out on a date, choose the time and place, and work out the details. With a bit of luck they will agree and then with much anticipation, you wait and prepare for the event. How you initially meet a person will vary; it could be someone from your social circle, someone you meet by chance or even someone you have conversed with online. In every scenario, someone has caught your attention and you decide to put yourself “on the line” and ask them out. Not so in an arranged date. One strong advantage to the “arranged” or “blind date” is there is little to no “pre-date” effort on your part because the work is done for you by a third party. There is no chance that you may be turned down or have your pride hurt, because the date itself is a sure thing. Consequently, there is also no guarantee of any attraction on your part. You have no idea if any...
