As a result, organizational change has been the subject of much research. Many have sought to explain the fundamentals of change, how to manage change, and why change is so difficult to achieve.

...What makes a good salesman or a saleswoman? First, he or she needs to be passionate about the product. When a salesperson is passionate about a product, it is easier to convince the customer to buy the product you are selling. Another trait would be being able to listen, and I mean actually listen, so the salesperson will be able to find out exactly what the customer wants. Lastly, but not least, probably the most important trait would have the trust of the customer. When there is the trust of the customer, they will keep coming back to you. You become reliable, you get the right product, and at the right time to the customer. On the other hand, every salesperson is different, some are good, and some are bad. The bad salespersons are always easy to spot because they do not know enough information about the product. They also do not give the customer a straight answer. They push everything on you, and are not able to answer your questions about the product. Many bad salespersons just want to get a paycheck, and do not really care about the products they are selling. Everyone has experienced good and bad salespeople, even me. One of the most memorable experiences with a salesperson I had was when I was just a young boy. My mother, my brother and I were shopping for new furniture for our house. We had just moved into our new house and went to the furniture store. The salesperson at first impression was very outgoing and enthusiastic about my family being in his store,...

...Causes and Effects of the Shortening of Attention Span Among the Public by Clara Long before, when there wasn’t technology and the act of getting orders so quickly, people could pay attention on one activity for a long time. For example, my dad can pay attention on his work way better when he’s free from all the quick serving of technology. Every day, there are new updates in technology and we are living in a society where if on dilemma occurs in one part of the world, the opposite side of the Earth will also get to know in less than a minute. These days, Koreans expect everything faster, like they want their delivery in less than two days and they get so frustrated if the WiFi doesn’t work or is slow. That’s why Korea have the fastest and best WiFi in the World. Consequently, people these days have a hard time focusing on a task. The attention span of people are getting shorter because of the new world’s technology and others causes. Moreover, there are a lot of negative effects to the shortening attention span of people in the society of 2014. Multitasking is called a skill, but it can damage your attention span and your ability to put effort into a task. People multitasking by reading and texting at the same time, or any other combination possible. For example they could be texting, reading, and writing an essay. I have been texting and reading at the same time and it’s not really comfortable. I tended to forget what the story was about and ...

...Toyota is recalling a total of 778,000 RAV4 and Lexus HS 250h models sold in the United States to fix a problem in the rear suspension that it says arises when the vehicles are serviced. The recall involves 760,000 RAV4s from the 2006 to early 2011 model years and 18,000 Lexus HS 250hs from the 2010 model year. The recall, announced on Wednesday, follows the investigation begun in June by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration into possible suspension failures involving some 460,000 RAV4s from 2006-8. In its news release, Toyota said its own investigation had determined “that if the nuts on the rear suspension arm are not tightened following the proper procedure and torque specification during a rear-wheel alignment service, excessive play may occur at the threaded portion of the arm, followed by rust formation.” If rust builds up, “threads may wear, causing the arm to separate, which could result in loss of vehicle control,” Toyota wrote in a report to the safety agency on Wednesday. “In the United States, there are nine crashes and three minor injuries alleged to be related to this condition,” a Toyota spokesman, Brian R. Lyons, said in an e-mail. Toyota concluded in July that the issue was caused by the “improper tightening of the lock nut during adjustment of a rear-wheel alignment in the field,” according to its letter to the agency. Toyota added that it decided to announce a recall “to ensure proper tightening of the lock nuts.” The automaker...
