...The Roles of Managers in Functional Areas of Business Maureen Glidewell MGT 521 1/30/14 Shirley Fitzgerald Managers are a key element in the operation of any business or organization. The success of any business is going to depend on managers and the employees that they manage. While different types of business will dictate different job functions for a manager, all managers will have the same fundamental roles, planning, organizing, leading and controlling, in whatever functional area of business they are working. The most important role that a manager plays in any functional area of business is that of planning. Planning in a business involves setting goals and formulating strategies to meet those goals. Planning is necessary at any level of management and provides a roadmap for the organization to follow to meet the organizations goals in the most efficient manner. A manager is responsible for taking the goals of the organization and providing direction to the employees to meet the goals in the most efficient manner. Anticipating areas in the business that may hinder the organization from meeting its goals is a vital activity for managers and key to keeping employees productive. Proper planning will help to keep the business running efficiently and effectively and give purpose to the organization. (Thorn, 2012) Planning will reduce uncertainty as external forces that may affect the business have been taken into account during planning. Proper planning by management...

...economic phenomena of how a company creates value for societies and the environment. The contextualization of material commercial, social, and environmental factors to an organization’s strategy, governance, performance, and potential, and future earnings best demonstrates its value creation process and commitment to sustainability. The consideration of how a broad set of interdependent and relevant financial and nonfinancial factors affect an organization’s accountability, stewardship, and performance is the basis for integrated thinking and is the key element in integrated reporting. Integrated reporting (IR) principles are global in nature applicable to all organizations across multitude of industries and sectors and are becoming a fundamental practice towards a more cohesive and efficient approach in demonstrating to internal and external stakeholders how the business creates value in the short, medium, and long-term (Tilley, 2014). An integrated report should identify and communicate how relevant and interdependent, financial and non-financial factors affect an organization’s value creation process across organizational and geographical boundaries. This connectivity fosters a more efficient allocation of capital within the organization by breaking down communication barriers to engender a more collaborative and positive culture and outside of the organization by attracting investors through a more relevant assessment of risk and explanation of non-financial value. Other stakeholders...

...HRM 500 • Based on the information given but in your own words, explain what approaches to recruiting might be best suited for Apple’s talent acquisition. As Apple prides itself on secrecy and having a high degree of control they would have to create an environment where the employees that they hire undergo through a series of background checks to ensure that they are ethical and moral and that once they are hired by Apple that they would not go to their competitors to disclose any of the trade secrets that make Apple one of the top technology companies in the world. Apple can use the LinkedIn networking site to study candidates past work history and their previous job performance since one of the best predictors of performance is to study the candidate’s past work history. They should look for candidate’s who have an impeccable track record. (Noe, Hollenbeck, Gerhart, Wright 2011, p. 153). • Describe the recruiter traits and behaviors that would lead to the most successful recruiting campaign for Apple. Apple can use teams instead of just using one individual recruiter. This would be a more useful approach since with a team there would be less subjective experiences and it would reduce the effect of biases. Apple should use recruiters who embody the company values and ideals. Apple prides itself on innovation, creativity and thinking outside of the box and they should hire recruiters who most closely embody...

...STRATEGIC MARKETING MANAGMENT BUSI 520 TASK: Individual Submission Week 3 CULTURAL FACTORS DEFINED Cultural factors have a major influence in what merchandise consumers purchases. In order to understand this clearer, one needs to take a closer look at the definition of culture. According to Kotler and Keller (2012), “Culture is the fundamental determinant of a person’s wants and behavior”. In other words, culture is the deciding factor that guides the choices of the consumer. One product which many consumers purchase is the iPad. Sales, of this advanced version of a tablet computer, are steadily increasing. According to Bray, Palazzolo and Sherr from (2013), the iPhone and iPad are in fact the two top selling products of the Apple company. The iPad, just before its unveiling, was surrounded by so much enthusiasm. As stated by Furfie(2010), “The Wall Street Journal joked that ‘the last time there was this much excitement about a tablet, it had some commandments written on it’”. As funny as this may sound, other tablets don’t come close to competing with this product. The iPad has a stake in our culture and it is here to stay! An astute observer may ask, why do so many consumers gravitate towards iPad as opposed to another similar product in the marketplace today? Furthermore, the enthusiasm and general demand for the iPad seems to overshadow the competitor’s products. Kotler and Keller conclude that the geographic region has a direct influence on the products available...

...Approaches to Decision Making Stephanie Kert HCA/250 October 16, 2014 Cynthia Baxter Reduce Infection Control Long term care facilities have high infection rates due to patients being within close proximity of one another. Long term care residents are usually older in which due to their immune systems are usually more susceptible to highly infectious illnesses. Due to this increase, there are specialized precautions and procedures that are expected to be followed in order to control spreading. Infection Protocols Spreading of infections can cost healthcare facilities more money especially if the proper precautions were not used. The first step is to identify the problem, than a plan must be put together to figure out how to begin implementation. The problem is reducing infection in which administrators could begin by holding weekly meetings that serve as a refresher on infection prevention protocol. During these meetings all staff and administrators can analyze what areas need extra focus which tends to be forgotten to hectic schedules. (Robbins, DeCenzo, & Coulter, 2011). Also long term care facilities must keep their protocols and procedures reviewed and updated on a yearly basis in order to better reduce the number of infections. The director of nursing needs to be notified by the laboratory when any patient cultures come back positive that may represent a form of infection. Additionally, there needs to be specific “tracking of dates and times when infected...

...FROM TAYLORISM TO AUTONOMY In this essay we will present how the managements concept was developed from F.Taylor concept to contemporary management concepts. We will point to a few selected aspects of strengths and weaknesses of scientific management. From craftsmanship to mass production. Scientific management.- breakthrough in the industrial production. Until F.Taylor published his book 'Principles of scientific management' in which he laid down fundamental principles of large-scale manufacturing through assembly-line factories, good production was based mostly on the work of crafts. "Production efficiency methodology that breaks every action,job, or task into small and simple segments which can be easily analysed and taught. Introduced in the early 20th century, Taylorism (1) aims to achieve maximum job fragmentation to minimize skill requirements and job learning time, (2) separates execution of work from work-planning (3) separates direct labour from indirect labour (4) replaces rule of thumb productivity estimates with precise measurements, (5) introduces time and motion study for optimum job performance, cost accounting,tool and work station design and (6) makes possible payment-by-result method of wage determination.”1.

...distinta debido a que los procesos en los cuales estamos insertos también lo son. Con la personalización cada vez mayor de los bienes y servicios que entrega el mercado, la formula exitosa para con la cual las organizaciones pretende agregar valor a lo que se ofrece, se basa en la cercanía que existe entre los clientes y la empresa (ya sea con la atención directa o con servicios post-venta como “atención al cliente”, “servicio técnico”, “call center”, etc.) lo cual es un desafío sumamente importante al momento de realizar cambios que comprometan a la empresa en sí y su anterior cultura organizacional. De lo comentado en transcurso del curso, hemos podido apreciar que las emociones de las personas que componen la organización cumplen un rol fundamental a la hora de las empresas adaptarse o no al cambio, como respuesta emocional primaria tenemos la ansiedad, pero ¿Qué tipo de ansiedad? La ansiedad de control ante el cambio, compuesta o generada por la incertidumbre de identificar el momento y administrar los recursos eficientemente para adaptar a la organización a nuevos procesos o nuevas contingencias. La empresa paso de un antiguo orden (donde existía una tendencia estructural) a un nuevo orden (donde prevalecen las estructuras adaptadas al cambio). Sin embargo, la ansiedad que se produce ante estos nuevos escenarios puede llevar a cometer errores de distinto tipo, actuando como arma de doble filo, por ejemplo: no querer cambiar cuando era necesario el...
