...historical, descriptive overview of the team members. This should include: An insight into the dynamics of the team and the symptoms they are experiencing. Details such as the skills of the members, relationships among participants, environmental factors, organizational support and other relevant detail. I have thought myself to be a team player throughout my life. In my personal life I enjoy helping people and stepping where I have seen or felt I was needed. I have become a communicator and am not afraid to speak up, as I may have been a number of years back. I feel that if we do not speak up then there is no room for complaints. I get very involved in areas of interest and at times this may be misconstrued as being too aggressive. I have been described as “type A” and OCD but it may be true since giving my all does not allow me to fail or make mistakes. This is a fault and something I work on and try not to project on others. I do expect people however to be respectful of deadlines if we are working together towards a goal and within a team. I do feel it is important to acknowledge others and the work they have put in when you have benefited from it. This may come from my passion of sports and once having been part of sports teams. When games are won it’s not only one person taking home the trophy. We all work hard together in order to win together. My skillsets have improved since being here at JIU. I research many of the topics that are not familiar to me. When...

...Workplace Motivation Paper PSY/320 1/14/2012 There are many reasons why people go to work every day. The largest incentive to work is money making. Making money is the main reason for most Americans. When it comes to survival, food, shelter, clothes, and transportation is critical. But there are also other benefits to working that are non-monetary. When starting a new job, a person will go through new employee orientation; the corporation will advertise the non-monetary benefits they have to offer. These benefits help an individual decide if they want to work for the corporation. After being employed, an employee will measure these benefits when it comes to staying with a particular corporation. A corporation must have interesting and appealing benefits to retain employees who have been working for a corporation; otherwise employees may seek work elsewhere. Motivation is tied directly to innovation. Innovation is the process by which an organization attempts to unlock the creative potential of the employees (Klein, 1992). Hardworking and productive employees are a must to be a successful company. Low quality work and a poor reputation can keep a company from being successful. If a company wants employees to work hard and produce quality work in a timely manner there must be some incentive for them to keep putting out quality work. Corporations must evaluate what motivates their employee and offer incentives that will keep them motivated. Motivation within...

...to survive. In this paper, I will talk about how some people think that animal-factory farms, family farms and hunting is considered animal abuse. I will then later explain that neither of these is considered animal abuse. Therefore, the question is, how does one determine what actually animal abuse is? There is a massive debate about this question and there is no right answer. Everyone sees things from the perspective of their own interests and concerns. Animal abuse is classified as inflicting physical agony, anguish or demise upon an animal contingent upon one’s belief. First, some people believe that killing and hunting animals for any reason is classified as animal abuse. The first example some may classify as animal abuse is animal-factory farms. Animal-factory “farms are usually large industrial facilities where livestock are crowded together” (USA Today, 2012). The small animals, like chickens, are put into cages. One cage can hold many animals. These cages are packed so full with the small animals that the animals cannot move freely. They do not get to see sunlight, and it can be hard to breathe in such tight quarters. The animal-factory farms do this to the animals so that they can house more animals and make more money. The more cages they have, the more room it makes; therefore, their revenue increases. The bigger animals, like cattle, are put into stalls that are also packed full. The stalls are packed so full that the cattle do not even get to lie down comfortably...

...Best Practices In consumer goods Industry in S&D Incentives scheme should be considered Sales Person & Channel Incentives No. of Accounts and sales expected to actual sales Innovative changes to the traditional retail supply chain have been made in attempts to increase the velocity of products through the supply chain and increase the accuracy of inventory management. Crossdocking and distribution center (DC) bypass are two initiatives to increase product velocity. Crossdocking is a process where products flow through facilities designed to consolidate or deconsolidate inbound shipments and re-route them for outbound transportation. Products are not kept in inventory. In a DC bypass process, vendor shipments are made directly to retailers without being stored within a DC. The DC bypass is also referred to as a direct-to store process. Both practices decrease the lead time of delivering orders to the retailer.

...The O.J. Simpson Trial: How The Media Effects High Profile Criminal Cases Noah Norwood Florida State University Abstract This paper goes over the effects the media had on the O.J. Simpson case and how the media interfered. The O.J. Simpson murder case is touted as the most televised criminal trial in history and from the second the murders were discovered there was a media frenzy. On the night of June 12, 1994 the bodies of Nicole Brown and her waiter Ronald Goldman were found outside of Nicole’s condo both stabbed to death. The suspect, former athlete, icon, and actor Orenthal James (O.J.) Simpson was the main suspect of the crime. On June 16th, 1994 the LAPD pressed murder charges against him and placed a warrant for his arrest on which he agreed to turn himself in on June 17th 1994 at 11 A.M.. He would not show up to turn himself in and eventually the infamous White Ford Bronco police chase would ensue. Eventually O.J. would be brought in and face trial in what would subsequently lead to him being found not guilty. Throughout this paper we will go over the historical setting and the phases of the incident from the crime committed to the end of the trial. Along with this the effect the high volume of media coverage and publicity will be covered. Also research on how race and gender affected the outcome of this trial will be displayed. To conclude the O.J. Simpson murder trial was highly effected by the media interference from day 1, which caused a racial stir and a certain...

...Types of food people like in Pakistan: The Pakistani cosines are rich in oil and chillies. Unlike the Indian food, Pakistani dishes must include meat, chicken and beef, though pork is totally forbidden as per Islamic teachings. Although eating habits differ from regions to region, the mainstay of the Pakistani diet is "chapati or roti" made from flour. "Lassi" a usual drink made like a milkshake in a home made utencil from curd/yogurt and water is usually taken at lunch time, specially during the summers as it beats the effects of hard weather. It is usually customary to eat a dessert after the dinner, which mainly comprises "Kheer" (made from rice and milk) and sweetened rice "Zarda". Rice though scarcely eaten in many parts, pulla´o (lightly fried rice with vegetables) and biryani (rice with meat or vegetables and spices) are the tw very favourite dishes of rice, specially on marriages. "Mithai" a kind of sweet made of corn flour, sugar and milk is the favourite sweet for all ages Pakistanis generally eat three meals a day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. During the evening, many families have green tea without sugar which goes along with baked/fried snacks from local bakery (or prepared at home). During the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, the eating patterns change to: sehri and iftar. It is considered proper to eat only with the right hand as per Islamic tradition (also a tradition in many other Asian cultures). Many Pakistani families, particularly when guests are too many...

...company had ignored Post-it before it was a notepad, when the product-to-be was just an adhesive that didn't adhere very well. The first related product to reach the market was a sticky bulletin board whose sales were less than exciting. So why was it still around? For five years this odd material kept turning up like a bad penny in the pocket of Spencer Silver, the chemist who had mixed it up in the first place. Even after the adhesive had evolved into a stickum-covered bulletin board, and then into notepad glue, the manufacturing department said they couldn't mass-produce the pads. The 3M marketing crew also said you could only sell these things if you gave them away, because who would pay a dollar for scratch paper? So when the test market reports arrived, it seemed everyone who'd disparaged the Post-it notepad was right after all: 3M was finally going to do the merciful thing and bury the remains. Only one last try by two executives, Geoffrey Nicholson and Joseph Ramey, saved those little yellow self-stick notes from oblivion. Nicholson and Ramey knew 3M's marketing distribution network well, and they wondered why a product that they felt had obvious appeal had bombed. Had 3M's conventional marketing approach victimized an unconventional product? They were curious enough to fly to Richmond, Virginia, one of the test cities. Without that trip, 3M almost certainly would have ceased pilot production of Post-it Notes, retired the machinery they had...

It’s none other than Mcdonald’s corporation USA. Looking at the above statistics makes one wonder that what is the driving force behind all these achievements? How is it that the chicken burger available in San Francisco is same as the one available in delhi? Many of these question have been answered in the book “Mcdonald’s: behind the golden arches” written by john love. But are these standards being carried out in India as well? The golden arches of Mcdonald’s are slowly becoming an integral part of the Indian landscapes. Everyone knows mcdonald’s is big, but very few know just how significant its impact on Indian business really is. The inside of Mcdonald’s remains a mystery. Mcdonald’s india is a joint venture of Mcdonald’s corporation with Amit Jatia and Vikram Bakshi. Amit jatia handles the operation in westerns region whereas Vikram Bakshi in the northern region. Mcdonald’s india is an employer of opportunities, providing quality employment and long term careers to the indian people.

...A Facilitator's Conundrum: Facilitating in a Multi-generational Learning Environment Michele Hickman Sullivan University Managing Organizational Conflict CMM521X Dr. Susan Raines May 7, 2014 A Facilitator's Conundrum: Facilitating in a Multi-generational Learning Environment Introduction Learning and development are essential tools in talent management for the American workforce. The ability to learn and grow helps an organization recruit and retain top talent, as well as grow existing talent. These learning opportunities are presented to various individuals at various times. When new talent is hired, individuals with a variety knowledge, skills, and experiences are pulled together in one learning environment, a classroom, to learn the essential tasks required to perform their new role. These individuals are guided on their learning path by a facilitator. The facilitator’s role is to ensure knowledge transfer occurs to each individual in their classroom audience while maintaining an environment conducive to learning. Today’s classroom audience makes this responsibility even more challenging. The facilitator not only has to find the common denominator in knowledge, skills, and experiences; he/she also has to deliver the content simultaneously to a multi-generational audience. An audience with participants who has only heard of a typewriter or seen one in “historical” pictures to others who remember the major family purchase of a colored television and each...

...Introduction Great managers have some characters in common which can be learnt by upcoming and young managers through simulation, that is, the imitation of the leadership styles of great managers to achieve results. Some criteria is required which is predictable from the simple aggregation of individual characteristics of the agents (Gilbert, 1996). If novices can painstakingly learn from and imitate characters of experts, they will surely develop their skills. Managing a team with more than two people is not an easy task because of the fact that sub-teams will emerge from the bigger team and this existence of smaller teams in a team have its challenges and opportunities if well managed. Nobody is an island on his or her own and projects are easier to execute where there is more than one collaborators, especially with mutual understanding and team spirit. Synergy is the factor that helps teams to do what individual members will not do. The whole team performance is more than the sum of the perormances of individual members of the team. This is due to the geling of the team members and the dynamism therein. Great leaders have exhibited different kinds of leadership styles. All these leadership styles are beneficial depending on how they are used. Great leaders are visionary people who are able to achieve results using people. They exhibits authority in themselves and exhume confidence in their team members. Circustances make men, just as much as men make circumstances (Marx...

...Dictionary (1985), is "to furnish with a right or claim to something." The legal definition of entitlement as defined by Merriam-Webster Dictionary (2007), is “an individual’s right to benefits by law or contract.” “Entitlement Mentality” as defined by our textbook is the general belief that someone is owed something (for example, a job, an education, a living wage, or health care) just because she or he is a member of society (Carroll & Buchholtz, 2008). In this paper we will discuss the entitlement mentality of various demographic groups along with the other generations we have labeled, and how the idea of Pluralism plays a part in the Entitlement way of thinking as well. Along with how this mentality is perceived, why and how it’s been acquired by our new generation and how other generations played a part in this new mind set and the potential effect and how or what we can do to remedy the situation. Introduction I would like to explain my background as I feel this will lay the groundwork for this paper and portray my personal beliefs as to why the various generations have played a part in my life and others lives as well. I myself was born in 1964 in Chicago the last year of the “Baby Boomer Generation” (1946-1965) one year before “Generation X’ (1965-1981) and from parents of the “Silent Generation” (1928-1945) and I now have children from the “Millennial” (1982-2009) or “Generation Y” (Pew, 2010).
