...CASE OF LG GROUP: DEVELOPING TOMORROWS GLOBAL LEADERS There is no company which is resistant to environmental changes, especially business environment. As the year comes by, new inventions or innovation will absolutely give impact on every type of business in the world. However, the causes of the impact, in other words, the root of the changes in the environment is not merely coming from company external territory; in most cases the impacts (either negative or positive) can come from external territory and internal territory of the company. This written analysis focuses on the LG Group’s Chairman Koo who once stated and defined his vision for the LG group to develop and improve significantly and to be a leading company in its local market area (Korea) and the wider market scope, international market and increase its revenue significantly within 7 years period. This is known as “LEAP 2005”. Even though is not an easy task to do, he is much certain that the group can do that. He considers the past performance of the group and the major internal changes within the company will enable it to achieve what its chairman wants. The main key success, as the management agrees, lies on the future leaders of the group. There are several questions that arise as the result of the discussion between the management in relation with this key point, namely where and how to find these future leaders, what capabilities of competencies these leaders should possess how to develop these key competencies...

...human mentality and also how can they be administered in a broader aspect to garner success. However, the elements of success in 21st century from Howard Gardener and Claudio Fernández-Aráoz are not exactly the same. In terms of being successful in the globalized world nowadays, they vary on unlike aspects which include the nature and application of essential skills and features. Howard Gardener, a famous researcher in psychology who has been studying the functions of mind such as development, organization and creation. He suggests that in order to flourish and outshine in a globalized world, every person has to be concerned with how to establish those minds in the younger generation, those who could be taught to become the leaders or managers of tomorrow. Gardener also mentions five different minds that he believes human beings should develop in the future. The disciplined mind reminds us working stably over time to enhance skills and comprehension, the synthesizing mind collates information and presents it in a coherent way, the creating mind leads us to pull out new ideas and unexpected answers, the respectful mind greets the differences between individuals and finds to cooperate with each other effectively, and the ethical mind struggles to conceptualize proper work that people can do it unselfishly. In other words, these minds which are applied today will absolutely become a valuable property in the near future. Moreover, Gardener indicates that our present education system...

...and Transformation Services: Maximizing the Value of IT for Today and Tomorrow IT leaders face a formidable challenge: meeting their organizations’ high expectations of IT services while controlling costs and preparing IT to meet the future needs of the business. Amidst increasing globalization and the ever-evolving and complex business and technology landscapes, organizations expect their IT leaders to make strategic investments that will support business growth and agility, capitalize on new and existing technologies to gain competitive advantage, and align IT priorities with business needs. Accenture’s ongoing High Performance IT research reveals that while CIOs want to contribute significant value for their organizations, a host of factors—notably cost-cutting mandates, “keeping the lights on” and fixing troubled projects—inhibit the CIO’s ability to be a value creator. Despite these realities, the research indicates that high-performance IT organizations consistently achieve excellence in IT execution, IT agility and IT innovation, balancing the sometimes opposing demands placed on IT organizations. To respond effectively to today’s challenges, IT organizations need to work differently, leveraging technology in new ways to achieve business results while keeping operating costs low. Accenture helps organizations quickly identify how IT can fuel high performance. We team with IT and business leaders to plan and deploy IT for the most value, helping them set the technology...

...Total Quality Pioneers Paper xxxxxxxx Quality Management and Productivity MGT/449 xxxxxx xxx Introduction People are confronted with scenarios concerning quality nearly every day. The word or notion of quality can be defined a number of ways. Some think quality should be determined by individual standards and expectations, while others believe quality is an ever changing state. Goetsch and Davis systematically broke down the elements of quality and determined that “quality is a dynamic state associated with products, services, people, processes, and environments that meets or exceeds expectations and helps produce superior value (Goetsch and Davis, 2010 p.5).” Whatever ones interpretation of quality might be, the intent of this paper is to more clearly define quality and its elements as well as describe how the quality pioneer's use of the total quality elements made the pioneers successful. Furthermore, this paper will explain why the elements of quality are useful in today’s environment and offer some insight as to what the future of quality might look like. Quality and its Elements Quality is defined with a variety of distinct explanations. Nevertheless, understanding quality is the key. End use consumers that are businesses explain quality unmistakably through the use of standards, specifications, and other measurable features. For instance, an individual in search of a new automobile will make his or her final purchase decision based on the quality...

...DEVELOPING CORE VALUES IN STRATEGIC PLANNING A Paper Presented to Dr. Rusty Ricketson Luther Rice University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Course LD 515 Principles of Strategic Planning by James C. Harvey Jr. GC6316 OUTLINE I. INTRODUCTION II. DEVELOPING CORE VALUES IN STRATEGIC PLANNING III. CONCLUSION IV. SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY INTRODUCTION This is an initial paper in which selected aspects of the literature will be examined to address a few of the tenets that are needed in the development of core values. There are many clear or apparent needs in the development of core values, but one of those needs may be singled out depending on the author’s point of view. This paper will examine a few of the tenets that are involved in the development of core values according to the different methods of authors. One of the basics that will be needed in the development of core values in any organization is a bedrock philosophy. As early as 1978, Ouchi and Price were extolling the benefits of orga-nizational philosophy. "The clarity and the widespread acceptance of an organizational philosophy," they wrote, "most clearly separates the Type Z from the Type A orga- nization" (Ouchi and Price 1993, 68). They went on to note that most large Japanese organizations possess a philoso- phy and that many Japanese leaders regarded as vitally ...

...S. today. To be an effective leader in any business, one must be able to balance various roles within the workplace and keep the vision of the company prime focus. A leader must be able to convey information and instruction to his or her staff to ensure that daily function of the company or organization runs smooth in the present and future. After reading about Branson, I feel his style of leadership is most represented by the transformational style. Hellriegel and Slocum describe this style as, “a transformational leader involves anticipating future trends, inspiring followers to understand and embrace a new vision of possibilities, developing others to be leaders or better leaders, and building the organization or group into a community of challenged and rewarded learners” ( pg. 329). A leader with this type of style has to constantly be thinking of the present and future ideas, have strong critical thinking skills and be able to interact with those of various cultures. A transformational leader also has to be willing to take risks within the company. Branson is an example of this style. He describes his logical of his “pecking order” in his organization, “If your employees are happy then they will do a better job. If they do a better job, the customers will be happy, and thus business will be good and the shareholders will be rewarded” (p. 344). Overall, this style is leadership would be very effective in the U.S. today. Every leader has to be able to think about what...

...and managed by people, and are involved in the whole project process, i.e. from initiating to conclusion. Thus, the project management domain not only needs a well-organized and competent manager, but also a good effective leader who will lead the team in most efficacious manner. The essay elaborate and addresses the importance, necessity and role of leadership, discussing how it works and ways to enhance the effectiveness of project teams. Salas, Dickinson, Converse and Tannenbaum (1992) stated a good definition of 'team' as; A distinguishable set of two or more people interact, interdependently towards the common goal and mission, and have been assigned unique and specified role to perform, and who got a limited life span of membership. This refers to a higher interdependency among team members. This interdependence needs communication and harmonization among its members to achieve team goals. Thus, the success of team requires appropriate individual member contribution and best way in which these contributions combined into team response. (Hinsz, Tindale, & Vollrath, 1997) Since, Leader is a person who laid down the directions in an effort and have an authority over people to follow that particular direction. There is an important fact that the leader must have the ability in forming, facilitating and leading the project team. Nevertheless, sound knowledge that defines how leadership connect their associates effectively and efficiently is lacking....
