...Mrs. Fields’ Cookies Case Study Assignment 1. Would you describe Mrs. Fields’ Cookies as more of a functional hierarchy structured along traditional functional lines or more of an IT-enabled network consisting of tailored business processes? I would describe the organizational structure of Mrs. Fields’ Cookies as being an IT-enabled network consisting of tailored business processes. Throughout the different sections of the case study, several examples support the notion that Mrs. Fields’ organizational structure aligns with the descriptions and characteristics of a networked structure. The importance that the organization places on Information Strategy and the innovative control processes in place also support this claim. In order to prove this, I’ll start by discussing the basic descriptions and characteristics of a networked organizational structure. Then, I’ll demonstrate through examples how Mrs. Fields’ is a proper fit to these descriptions and characteristics. Pearlson and Saunders describe a networked organizational structure as formal and informal communication networks that connect all parts of the company, as opposed to the bureaucratic form with defined levels of management in a hierarchal structure. Randy and Debbi Fields did not like the idea of a hierarchy because they believed it leads to a focus on managing people instead of business processes. At Mrs. Fields’ Cookies, there was no official organizational chart. Although there were job titles and responsibilities...

...Educational institutions have a responsibility to dissuade students from pursuing fields of study in which they are unlikely to succeed. Write a response in which you discuss to the extent you agree or disagree with the statement and explain the reason for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position. Educational institutions are to provide quality education, assess the students’ performances and thereby they recognize where they are lacking behind. Later on they take up the responsibility to guide them where they need to improve and what support can be provided by the institution. This is the actual role of any institution. Dissuading the students in the fields where they are unlikely to succeed is far from their responsibilities because any student’s actual capacity cannot be known just by the marks they score or their performance at assessments. So they cannot judge clearly whether the student can succeed or not. Secondly, Universities are nowadays conducting a lot of entrance exams and screening interviews where they actually judge if a student can succeed in the course or not. Consider if a student is rejected by one university he doesn’t totally stop trying in the career, he just moves to another university or try writing the exam again next year. So this shows the students’ perseverance and also even if the educational...

...The term "Industrial Relations" has developed both a broad and a narrow meaning. Originally, industrial relations was broadly defined to include the totality of relationships and interactions between employers and employees. From this perspective, industrial relations covers all aspects of the employment relationship, including human resource (or personnel) management, employee relations, and union-management (or labor) relations. Since the mid-twentieth century, however, the term has increasingly taken on a narrower, more restricted interpretation that largely equates it with unionized employment relationships. In this view, industrial relations pertains to the study and practice of collective bargaining, trade unionism, and labor-management relations, while human resource management is a separate, largely distinct field that deals with nonunion employment relationships and the personnel practices and policies of employers. Both meanings of the term coexist in the twenty-first century, although the latter is the more common. ORIGINS The term "industrial relations" came into common usage in the 1910s, particularly in 1912 upon the appointment by President William Taft of an investigative committee titled the Commission on Industrial Relations. The commission's charge was to investigate the causes of widespread, often violent labor conflict and make recommendations regarding methods to promote greater cooperation and harmony among employers and employees. Shortly thereafter, the...

...HOME ECONOMICS: AN INSTRUMENT TO THE FUTURE LIFE OF STUDENTS Home Economics is the profession and field of study that deals with the economics and management of the home and community. Home economics is a field of formal study including such topics as consumer education, institutional management, interior design, home furnishing, cleaning, handicrafts, sewing, clothing and textiles, cooking, nutrition, food preservation, hygiene, child development, and family relationships. It prepares students for homemaking or professional careers. Home Economics is also known as Family and Consumer Sciences.

This includes educating the individual for family life; improving services and goods used in home; and conducting research to discover the changing needs of individuals and families and the means of satisfying those needs. (Colliers Encyclopedia, V.12). In the 1800s, home economics classes were intended to ready young women for their duties in the home. Classes were first in the United States, Canada and Great Britain, followed by Latin America, Asia and Africa. International organizations such as those associated with the United Nations have been involved in starting home economics programs around the world. (Wikipedia.org, 2013) Home economics is taught at the junior secondary level while senior secondary school introduces students to the rudiments of Home management and Food...

...1 WHAT IS A FIELD STUDY? The field study is an integral part of the HDSR Program, and is the basis for much of the upper level course work required by our majors. The field study allows students to: • gain experience in integrating the theoretical perspectives learned in the classroom with experiences gained in the field; • achieve insight into the workings of an organization; • become more conscious of the relationship of social roles, institutional dynamics, and larger cultural systems. When students return to campus, Field Study Seminar assists students in analyzing and interpreting their experiences, culminating in a major academic paper. An HDSR field study differs from a conventional internship or practicum in important ways. The main difference lies in the purpose. The primary purpose of a conventional internship or practicum is for the student to perform a job and learn skills that will be useful in a future career. In contrast, the HDSR Field Study is an ethnographic research project. Its main purpose is for the student to hone his or her analytical skills and gain insight into the dynamics of the organization in larger societal context. That is not to say that the job, in and of itself, is not important. HDSR students are expected to work diligently, and make every effort to contribute to the organization in positive ways, along with the added dimension of observing and analyzing the organization. An HDSR field study might be thought of as a conventional internship/practicum...
