...Wildlife Conservation Adam Burdick Bryant & Stratton College NSCI 280 Professor Wooten 10/20/2013 Human beings are considered to be the most advance species on the planet. This also makes us the most intrusive species on the planet. We effect our environment more than any other living creature. Our populations continue to grow exponentially each year and as they do we intrude on other species habitats even more. Considering we are the most advanced species it is our responsibility to ensure the safety of all other species and do what we can to shorten the endangered species list. The conservation of wildlife is an incredibly important goal that all people should take part in. “Successful species conservation has often been defined as simply the avoidance of extinction” (Redford 2011.) This is the most important goal of anyone interested in wildlife conservation. It is important for us as a species to take responsibility and make the effort to keep other species away from extinction. Wildlife conservation is not something that can only be handled by professional members of organizations. Anyone can do their part to help protect a species in need. In some cases it is as simple as refraining from harmful activities such as hunting for sport. Hunting is a major conservation concern (Selvan & Veeraswami, p11.) If people raise awareness about how hunting effects the populations of large bodied animals perhaps we can help to reduce the damage done to these...

...Biodiversity Paper Biology as a science concerned with living organisms, said organism’s function, origin, structure, and distribution is defined through numerous subdivisions and branches. Conservation biology is a branch, which deals with certain factors threatening biodiversity as well as the preservation of genetic and biologic diversity of animal and plant species. Threatened, endangered, and extinct species are only some factors that may influence biodiversity. Any given species has to meet a certain criteria to suit the previously named terms. Conservation biologists are concerned with numerous species because of said species’ influence on the interrelation within their ecosystems, and the interruption of such ecosystem when the numbers of a certain species are drastically decreasing. Conservation biology is concerned with the maintenance of species, their genetic variation, ecosystems, and communities within such ecosystems. Biodiversity includes “The variety of life and its processes, including the variety of living organisms, the genetic difference among them, and the communities and ecosystem in which they occur” (U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, 2004, p. 1). Even though the term “species” is complex, and some definitions may differ slightly from others “A species is often defined as a group of individuals that actually or potentially interbreed in nature” (Berkley University, n.d., p. 1). Therefore, a species is defined as the greatest gene pool that can...

In this assignment the DiSC, The Platinum Rule divides behavioral preferences into four basic styles known as DiSC in regard to, dominance, interactive, steadiness, and cautious style (Alessandra, N.D). Managers can use the assessments of each team member for mentoring, performance development plans and team building, as well as conflict resolution.

...the planning details of the massacre to demonstrate how Eric and Dylan plan worked and how it affected the people that were injured as well as what caused Eric and Dylan to do the things that they did. He does an excellent job in letting the reader know what happened during the massacre and what the outcome of that action was. Cullen alternates between the planning and the aftermath to show the reader how the plan worked and what the outcome was. An example of this is in Chapter 16. In chapter 16, Cullen describes the death of a young teenager and then he alternates to the aftermath at how the teenager’s parents reacted to show the reader the outcome of Eric and Dylan’s decisions. He does this to appeal to the reader’s emotion and to make the reader realize the pain that many felt after the shooting. He does this throughout the entire book to show specific portions of the shooting and the aftermath. Cullen also alternates between the shooting and Eric and Dylan’s past to show the reader why they did the things they did. An example of this is in Part III of the book. In Part III, Cullen describes the lives of Eric and Dylan years before the incident, to show the reader how Eric and Dylan changed throughout their lives and what caused them do the things they did. “Eric would prove the easier killer to understand. Eric always knew what he was up to. Dylan did not.” (Cullen 193). This quote from the book shows that Eric knew what his was doing and why he was doing it but Dylan...

...The case we read this week, “The Team That Wasn’t,” presented a multitude of issues that Eric Holt’s team faced when working together on strategic repositioning of Fire Art Inc. These issues, while specific to the case, are often faced by leaders in organizations. As a team, we believe there are certain aspects of Eric’s actions that directly affected the progress of the team. In addition, we recommend a series of steps that Eric should take to improve their progress. To give a little background information, Fire Art Inc. is in trouble and the CEO, Jack Derry, has hired Eric Holt with the solitary task of “strategic repositioning”. Eric Holt goes full speed ahead with this directive and forms a team. This, as the reader can identify, is where the first issue arises. To begin with, as the team began working, there was no clear goal(s) set for them. Instead of clearly defining the actions that the team must take to reach success, a vague task of “strategic repositioning” is identified as the plan. Furthermore, no timeline for intermediate deliverables seems to have been set. Setting a clear schedule of what the team must accomplish would have helped with timely decision making. The first problem we identified is the lack of clear group identity, definition and accountability. A team that doesn’t live by a sense of collective accountability in actively solving problems is only a group of individuals, not a team. One can draw an analogy to a football team or an ox-drawn plow when...

...Employee Portfolio: Motivation Action Plan Nicole Martinez MGT 311 October 29, 2012 Clinton Emry In my motivation action plan, I will help determine the motivational strategies that would be appropriate for each of these employees in the Riordan Manufacturing Company. I will do my best to describe the strategies for each employee that best fits them. In my first assessment on Jen, she is content with working for the company but does not want to make a career. She is a very loyal, cooperative and cheerful person who provides good customer service. She is also social and work oriented. When given tasks they are completed but could take longer at times because she can be a little more social than she needs to be. I think implementing some goals with her that will help increase sales, her knowledge. Trying to keep her focused and learning more would be for starters. Giving her some incentives may keep her motivated and could even change her mind to advance within the company. But at the same time keep she focused on sales and service. The theory we chose to motivate her through is Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory of Motivation. As for Eric, he is motivated, ambitious, and accepts authority. When it comes to team work, he is a great team player, caring, trusting and accepts challenges. Eric is a very hard worker and knows how to run things on his own being a manager. There is always room for improvement for anyone. He is always working and should take some time off because...

...The short stories The Cask of Amontillado and Twins are both similar and different in many ways. Edgar Allan Poe, author of the first story, and Eric Wright, author of the second story, are both excellent writers. Both have similar themes in their stories. In both stories the theme is revenge. Revenge can lead to negative actions that may or may not lead to negative consequences. This is one of the main themes in both stories. The Cask of Amontillado by Edgar Allan Poe, is a fine piece of literature that expresses the emotions of revenge. In the short story, Montresor (the protagonist) goes out to take revenge upon Fortunato (the antagonist), as he hurt him. Poe characterizes the killer, Montresor, with so much hate that he vows for revenge...

...As previously discussed in my memo of last week, our company will be merging with EnviroTech, and as result a new strategic direction must be adopted in order to have a greater market share in our industry. Also, our company will no longer sell only cleaning products, but will also provide full-service cleaning solutions for organizations in the health care industry. As a midlevel sales manager, part of my jobs and responsibilities are to select new members for my sales team and create a development plan to help my team succeed with the company’s new strategy. In other to accomplish these objectives, certain things have to be in their right places. For example, a job analysis has to be conducted, an outline of a workforce planning system has to instituted, and new competent team members have to be selected. A job analysis is a description of work to be done, the skills needed, and the training and experience required for various jobs (Cascio, p. 157). A job description can be referred to as an overall written summary of task requirements, while overall written summary of worker requirements is called job specification. The result of the process of job analysis is a job description and a job specification (Cascio, p.158). In order to effectively conduct a job analysis, I need to identify the analysis method (s) that is appropriate, so as to achieve and attain the Interclean’s short and long term goals. These analysis methods are: Job Performance, Observation, Interviews, Critical...

...Interclean Human Resources Management November first, 2010. Patricia Neu The companies are face growing economic pressure and competition and with change come new challenges, new demands, and new personnel for this reason emerges are becoming commonplace in the business world. Now to the case of Interclean; the company’s CEO has been analyzing that the business can longer strive on just selling a product, therefore, the company made decision to emerge with a great company as Enviro-Teach. We believe that the company could survive to the merger, if a new direction of business operations is implemented such as obtaining the knowledge about emerging issues in sanitation, environmental regulation of cleaning, cleaning systems, and OSHA standards. Therefore, the merge of Interclean Inc and Enviro Tech Inc will bring some changes in sales department such as job profiles or introduction of new positions; I know that all this would not be easy transition for some employees, so care has to be taken for an easy and comfortable transition. Human Resources recently is working with our department to obtain a detail inventory of skills and experiences already demonstrated by sales personal that currently are working to Interclean and obviously to find a whole understanding of which are the requirements and need that the new business process should eject to be successful in the formation of new salesperson team. Human Resources will make a study of the job requirements...

...most of it money in recent years with revenues reaching up to $23 billion in 2009 (Google Inc., 2010). “Knowledge management is any structured activity that improves an organization’s capacity to acquire, share, and use knowledge in ways that improve its survival and success. The knowledge that resides in an organization is called its intellectual capital, which is the sum of everything that an organization knows that gives it competitive advantage—including its human capital, structural capital, and relationship capital” (McShane & Von Glinow, 2005, p. 23). Eric Schmidt is the company’s chairman and CEO who has been a key figure to the company’s success by capturing the knowledge management into his leadership style. The leadership at Google is responsible for the innovation seen within its employees. Eric Schmidt feels that the future of this company can be dictated by its culture. There is not really a five year plan as stated by Mr. Schmidt (Carlson, 2009). Employees are given the opportunity for a more flexible schedule being that they are able to choose the projects that best interest them. As a result this increases the morale within the Google environment on behalf of all the employees. Schmidt believes a key to Google’s success encamps around the idea that its employees are better suited with a belief and value system within the company. Google’s leadership is not a totem pole scenario. The man at the top is not the only one that is allowed to put forth ideas...
